Component-based Engineering
for Embedded Systems
USA - EU Workshop
July 7th, 2005 - Paris
Organisers: Joseph Sifakis (VERIMAG and ARTIST2 NoE) and
Janos Sztipanovits (Vanderbilt University - ISIS)

All slides from the workshop are provided in the links below.

This workshop was by invitation only.

The aim is to gather together leading researchers from academia and industry, to discuss research challenges and emerging industrial trends on component-based engineering. The ultimate goal is to identify complementarities and synergies in standardization to respond to the needs for a more cross-sectoral approach to embedded systems.
