Important results from the project

The project´s objective - to industrialize an interoperability standard to streamline the development of embedded systems has been reached. IOS has been finalized although essential building blocks are still missing. The project´s aim - to speed up the maturity, integration and cross-domain reuse of technical and methodology-oriented building blocks for the development of safety-critical embedded systems with the help of a critical mass of technology providers - has been achieved thanks to the fact that so many technology providers have embraced the project´s principles.

Expected long term effects

The expected results of the project was to promote Europe´s leadership in the development of embedded systems, especially regarding the quality and cost effectiveness of safety-critical embedded systems architecture and platforms. Thanks to the successful development of iOS, there is a great potential to achieve the expected result, but it requires that the industry chooses to embrace the standard.

Approach and implementation

The project has succeeded in developing a service-oriented architecture that utilizes the results of previous related projects in the domain of embedded systems with a focus on taking these results closer to industrialization. This must be seen as a significant success given the large amount of partners and the project´s broad approach. If the industry adopts the results, it will likely have a significant impact on strengthening European competitiveness in new markets and societal applications.
