The sixth edition of the annual Co-summit has taken place in Stockholm (Sweden), the 4 & 5 of December. About 650-700 participants from industry, academia, public authorities and press from all over Europe have participated in the Co-summit 2013.The Co-summit – organised by ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking on embedded systemsand ITEA, the EUREKA Cluster on software-intensive systems and services – has been featuring international keynote speakers, a high level panel discussion and an inspiring project exhibition. This year’s theme for the event was: Software innovation: boosting high-tech employment and industry.ARTEMIS puts ‘Intelligence on the spot’ with the exhibition of the projects emanating from the ARTEMIS Calls of 2008 to 2012. During the entire Co-summit, visitors have been able to roam around the project exhibition and share insights with key representatives from more than 80 European leading R&D&I projects. For two days the Stockholm has been the global village for all actors in embedded systems.
The Co-summit 2013 exhibition has included a special focus area with projects related to the topic of ‘Smart Cities’.
Interesting projects have been exhibited, all ranging from large-scale consortia to smaller but still cross-disciplinary projects. Including four projects where Mondragon Unibertsitatea is participating:
- nShield (embedded Systems arcHItecturE for multi-Layer Dependable solutions): This project is the continuation of pShield project. It will provide a roadmap to address Security, Privacy and Dependability (SPD) by developing new technologies and consolidating those already explored in pShield. The state of the art in SPD of single technologies and solutions will be improved and integrated with an innovative, modular, composable, expandable and high-dependable architectural framework, concrete tools and common SPD metrics. This year nShield’s booth has been located in the special focus area of “Smart Cities”.
- nSafecer (Safety Certification of Software-Intensive Systems with Reusable Components): nSafecer is the continuation of pSafecer project. It focuses on composable safety certification of safety-relevant embedded systems through the development of efficient and industrial-strength methods and processes for the development and certification of these systems. European industry can achieve a leading position in the growing global market of safety-relevant embedded systems.
- Crafters (ConstRaint and Application driven Framework for Tailoring Embedded Real-time Systems): Crafters aims to significantly reduce total cost of ownership, time-to-market and the number of development assets by introducing a holistically designed ecosystem through a tightly integrated multi-vendor solution and tool chain that complements existing standards. Feature-limited releases of reference tools will be released and platforms will become available to support the evaluation and adoptions of the results.
- Arrowhead (Production and Energy System Automation Intelligent-Built environment and urban infrastructure for sustainable and friendly cities): Arrowhead is a pilot project of 4 years that is addressing efficiency and flexibility at the global scale by means of collaborative automation for five application verticals. That means production (manufacturing, process, energy), smart buildings and infrastructures, electro-mobility and virtual market of energy.
Successfully completed ARTEMIS projects were exhibited in the Artemis Walk of Fame projects. Mondragon Unibertsitatea participated in one of the projects that were exhibited:
- pSafecer (pilot Safety Certification of Software-Intensive Systems with Reusable Components: pSafecer targets greater efficiency and reduced time-to-market by composable safety certification of safety-relevant embedded systems in the automotive and construction equipment, avionics and rail segments. pSafecer will also develop certification guidelines and a training example for other domains, thus considerably increasing its market impact. pSafecer brings together leading companies and SMEs across Europe along with selected universities and research institutes.
