Esterel Technologies is part of several European and National projects, under the FP6, ITEA, MEDEA+ and competitiveness clusters (Pôles de Compétitivité) programs, such as:

INTERESTED Project – INTERoperable Embedded Systems Toolchain for Enhanced rapid Design

The competitive advantage of European industry in embedded system design is constantly challenged by emerging as well as other industrialized economies. This project regroups a consortium of leading edge European embedded systems Tools Vendors, all being high tech innovative SMEs, as well as European Major Tool Users representing several industries that are both integrating massively embedded systems and contributing to the overall competitiveness of Europe: Aerospace, Automotive, Railway and Transportation and Energy.

Industry partners: AbsInt (Germany), TTTech (Germany), Evidence (Italy), Symtavision (Germany), UNIS (Czech Republic), Artisan Software (UK), Sysgo (Germany), Airbus (France), Magnetti Marelli (Italy), CEA List (France), Thales (France), Siemens (Germany).

ASSERT Project – Automated proof based System and Software Engineering for Real-Time

ASSERT is an integrated project (IP) co-sponsored by the European Commission under the Information Society Technology (IST) priority within the 6th Framework Programme (FP6). The project addresses the strategic objective of "Embedded Systems". ASSERT's main goal is to improve the system-and-software development process for critical embedded real-time systems, in the Aerospace and Transportation domains.

Industry partners: ESA (European Space Agency), EADS-ST (SPACE Transportation), Dassault Aviation, EADS-Astrium, Alcatel Space, Alenia, Axlog Ingénierie.

INTEREST Project – Integrating European Embedded Systems Tools

The competitive advantage of European industry in embedded system design is constantly challenged by emerging as well as other industrialized economies. The leading edge must be strengthened by boosting productivity, mastering growing complexity, and maintaining high quality. The project INTEREST aims at overcoming the current lack of integration and interoperability of tools for developing Embedded Systems software.

Industry partners: Evidence (Italy), AbsInt (Germany), Symtavision (Germany), Decomsys (Austria), UNIS (Czech Republic), ETAS (Germany).

DECOS Project – Dependable Embedded Components and Systems

DECOS is an integrative project that will develop the basic enabling technology to move from a federated distributed architecture to an integrated distributed architecture in order to reduce development, production and maintenance cost and increase the dependability of embedded applications in many application domains. It plans to develop technology invariant software interfaces and encapsulated virtual networks with predictable temporal properties such that application software can be transferred to a new hardware and communication base with minimal effort. The components and tools developed within the project will cover: cluster design, middleware and code generators, validation and certification as well as systems-on-chip for highly dependable applications.

SPEEDS Project – Europe's Best In System Development

SPEEDS is a concerted effort to define the new generation of end-to-end methodologies, processes and supporting tools for safety-critical embedded system design. They will enable European systems industry to evolve from model-based design of hardware/software systems, towards integrated component based construction of complete virtual system models.

Industry partners: Airbus, Saab, Extessy, Telelogic, Inria, IAI, Knorr-Bremse, Magna, Offis, Parades, Bosch, Verimag, Tni-Software

RISE Project – Reliable Innovative Software for Embedded Systems

The key objective of the RISE project is to provide support for the development of embedded reactive software, in particular for cars. This is done by developing concepts and methods for the design of embedded reactive software and by integrating a toolset which supports the concepts and methods, and covers analysis, design, and development of such embedded systems. The technology used for RISE has a proven success track in avionics. It is used for safety-critical systems with hard real time requirements.
