Embedded Systems
Challenges and Opportunities
 Increasingly complex system design, very demanding applications
• At all levels!
• From semiconductor chips to large-scale networked systems
• 100% reliability, safety, time criticality challenge computer science
• SW development has become a major bottle neck
 No dominant Embedded Systems player, in a fragmented industry
• Traditional industrial boundaries converging / cross-fertilising
• E.g. Aeronautics / Automotive / Consumer / Telecom
• Opportunity and need for cross-industry cooperation
• ES’s are the fastest growing sector in Information Technology

 January 2007 – ARTEMISIA Association established
• Takes over custodianship of the ARTEMIS ETP and it
SRA
• Represents the R&D actors in the Joint Undertaking
 2007 – ARTEMISIA expert groups derive a Research
Agenda proposal for the ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking
• Technical Research roadmap for the JU, taking the
most significant elements of the ARTEMIS SRA
• Reference document for the Plans and Calls of the JU

From ARTEMIS ETP SRA to the JU RA.
The Methodology :
Meet-in-the-middle implementation
 Top-down guidance by the ARTEMISIA Steering Board
• Industry needs
• Societal needs
 Bottom-up construction by technical experts
• Technological development to meet these

ARTEMIS JU Research: First principles
 The JU MASP and Research Agenda encapsulates the
expectations of the JU stake-holders:
• “Think BIG”
• = projects with appropriate critical mass to ensure significant
impact of result
• “Socio-Economic Benefits”
• = “... to strengthen European competitiveness and allow the
emergence of new markets and societal applications.”
• i.e. a focus on key technical problems, solving high-visibility
issues with commercially valorisable results
• “Multi-national”
• = considers national/regional strategic priorities
• “Think Different”
• = significant and complementary added-value over existing
programmes
ARTEMISIA Working Group SRA
ARTEMISIA ASSOCIATION - 8
“Think Different” .... How to achieve added value
 MASP identifies strategic considerations for implementing research
• Targets
• ARTEMIS-ETP targets for 2016 re-calibrated for a 5-year horizon
(2013), and for downstream research
• Positioning wrt FP7 and Eureka clusters
• Focus and “Depth of Field” lies between the FP and the (open)
nature of e.g. ITEA2
• Project size (see “Think Big”)
• Encourage appropriate critical mass to assure take-up of results
• Downstream
• Provides application-orientation to the three Research Domains
• Most immediate and visible impact of results
• Environment more conducive to SME involvement

ARTEMISIA ASSOCIATION - 9
ARTEMISIA proposals for the
ARTEMIS-JU Research Agenda
 ARTEMISIA expert groups identify 8 sub-programmes
• Address well-known societal concerns
• Environment, safety, healthcare, secure employment, ...
• ... In a viable business context
• Relevant for new businesses and growth markets
 Each sub-programme is elaborated to embrace the
ARTEMIS SRA approach

The ARTEMIS-JU Annual Work Plan
for 2009
Call 1
Annual Work Programme for the First Call
 All Sub-Programmes are born equal ...
• Strong industrial backing for all addressed sectors
• Differentiation of priorities across different member-states
• Therefore, all SP’s open in the first call
 ... but some are more equal than others...
• SPs 1, 3 and 5 have a stronger technology orientation
• Anticipate that these will attract larger projects in the first
call
• Natural process - sets the foundation for later work
• Estimate: about 50% of total programme manpower will be
spent on these three SPs.
• (Based on bottom-up analysis of industrial interest during MASP/RA
development)

• Potential “open source” model implementations

Innovation environment
• project consortia must be balanced
• favouring clustering of SMEs in innovation eco-systems.
 Project duration
• Typically 2-3 years.
• > 3 years should be well justified.
