Call for proposals under the work programme of the Artemis Joint Undertaking
The European Commission has published a call for proposals under the work programme of the Advanced Research and Technology for Embedded Intelligence and Systems (Artemis) Joint Undertaking. The Artemis Joint Undertaking addresses the design, development and deployment of ubiquitous, interoperable, cost-effective, powerful, safe and secure electronics and software systems. To do this it looks to deliver on three industrial priorities: reference designs and architectures, seamless connectivity and middleware, and design methods and tools. At the same time, the strategy of the Artemis Joint Undertaking is to overcome fragmentation in the embedded systems markets. This is designed to increase the efficiency of technological development and, at the same time, facilitate the establishment of a competitive market in the supply of embedded systems technologies. The joint undertaking's research agenda focuses on downstream-oriented research and technological development with a strong market drive. This is intended to deliver prototype or demonstrator solutions with high cross-domain applicability to address specific societal needs. The focus on downstream development specifically includes exploration of the potential for practical application of upstream research from various research organisations, whether academic institutions, research and technology organisations, or industry. Artemis has eight sub-programmes: - methods and processes for safety-relevant embedded systems; - embedded systems for healthcare systems; - embedded systems in smart environments; - manufacturing and production automation; - computing platforms for embedded systems; - embedded systems for security and critical infrastructures protection; - embedded technology for sustainable urban life; - human-centred design of embedded systems.To see the official call announcement in the Official Journal of the European Union please consult: OJ No C 64 of 1 March 2011(opens in new window) and the following link(opens in new window)
