EMC2 · Embedded Multi-Core Systems for Mixed Criticality Applications in Dynamic and Changeable Real-Time Environments

Embedded systems are the key innovation driver to improve almost all mechatronic products with cheaper and even new functionalities. Furthermore, they strongly support today's information society as inter-system communication enabler.Consequently boundaries of application domains are alleviated and ad-hoc connections and interoperability play an increasing role. At the same time, multi-core and many-core computing platforms are becoming available on the market and provide a breakthrough for system (and application) integration.A major industrial challenge arises facing (cost) efficient integration of different applications with different levels of safety and security on a single computing platform in an open context.The objective of the EMC² project (Embedded multi-core systems for mixed criticality applications in dynamic and changeable real-time environments) is to foster these changes through an innovative and sustainable service-oriented architecture approach for mixed criticality applications in dynamic and changeable real-time environments.The EMC2 project focuses on the industrialization of European research outcomes and builds on the results of previous ARTEMIS, European and National projects. It provides the paradigm shift to a new and sustainable system architecture which is suitable to handle open dynamic systems.EMC² is part of the European Embedded Systems industry strategy to maintain its leading edge position by providing solutions for:. Dynamic Adaptability in Open Systems. Utilization of expensive system features only as Service-on-Demand in order to reduce the overall system cost.. Handling of mixed criticality applications under real-time conditions. Scalability and utmost flexibility. Full scale deployment and management of integrated tool chains, through the entire lifecycleApproved by ARTEMIS-JU on 12/12/2013 for EoN.Minor mistakes and typos corrected by the Coordinator, finally approved by ARTEMIS-JU on 24/01/2014.Amendment 1 changes approved by ECSEL-JU on 31/03/2015.Amendment 2 (Information letter 1) changes approved by ECSEL-JU on 28/07/2015.Amendment 3 changes approved by ECSEL-JU on 18/04/2016.Amendment 4 changes approved by ECSEL-JU on 22/06/2017.
