Design Methodologies and Advanced Designs for Communication and Multimedia Applications

Objective

One of the missing issues at universities today is access to large application drivers and long term support/consolidation of "old research results". This information is available at companies but they are not prepared to give that information to academic groups. This is especially true for the system design area where many different issues have to be tackled simultaneously to provide a real solution for the industrial challenges in the coming years. The creation of new application opportunities in the IT context involves the study and training of the background in the next generation of intelligent, mobile user terminals that form the access to the digital highway, and Quos scalable multimedia data processing with new data compression schemes, plus their impaction implementation strategies including graceful degradation and low-power, high-performance architecture design. The application domains are drivers for the definition and introduction of a systematic system design methodology to build a Sock or to map a given application to a programmable, configurable heterogeneous platform, with heavily reduced time to market at low system cost and power. The Research and Development and associated training are focusing on the definition of a systematic design flow that starts from a concurrent and dynamic task specification with OO support; developing analysis, exploration and refinement techniques and tools to support system level trade-offs involving mapping abstract data types into memory architectures and controllers, augmented with managing the control flow and the task concurrency in real time systems; developing synthesis techniques to map applications to dynamic reconfigurable processor platforms; developing compiler techniques to map data-dominated system-level specifications into highly energy-efficient code and supporting analogue/digital co-design trade-offs at system level. The EST project will provide an efficient way to give universities access to these technologies via a sandwich Ph.D.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

FP6-2002-MOBILITY-2

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
