Start of one of the largest R&D projects in EU: RECOMP

CISTER initiated a new project titled "Reduced Certification Costs for Trusted Multi-core Platforms" (RECOMP) on 1st of April 2010. RECOMP is a ARTEMIS project jointly funded by the Member States and the European Commission (ARTEMIS-JU). The ARTEMIS Joint Technology Initiative, which is one of the premier programs of the European Commission in the area of Embedded Computing, aims to tackle the research and structural challenges faced by European industry by defining and implementing a coherent Research Agenda for Embedded Computing Systems.

RECOMP will be executed by a consortium comprised of 41 industrial/academic partners from Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and United Kingdom.

The project will establish methods, tools and platforms for enabling cost-efficient certification and re-certification of safety-critical as well as mixed-criticality software systems such as those present in automobiles and aircrafts.
