Embedded Multi-Core systems for Mixed Criticality applications in dynamic and changeable real-time environments

Purpose and goal

In the EMC2 project, KTH contributed to the aim of developing a tool integration framework, with particular focus on the framework specification, as well as its development of software that supports the integration of tools. This knowledge was applied to a number of use cases within the project, from a number of industrial partners including ABB and Volvo. Overall, the project resulted in two licentiate thesis. KTH lead or was the main contributor to 9 deliverables of the project, as well as produced 8 scientific publications.

Expected results and effects

KTH lead the work to specify the integration framework, based on analysis of the requirements defined by the industrial partners. The need for the analysis of the current status of a toolchain was identified, leading to particular focus on research in toolchains Analytics and Visualization techniques. KTH also contributed to standardisation work by participating in the standardisation activities of the OASIS OSLC Core workgroup. KTH also worked in the project to further develop its software assets (a) the ForSyDe Tool suite and (b) the open-source Eclipse Lyo Designer.

Planned approach and implementation

In this large EMC2 project, KTH’s effort was focused on the sub-project ´System design platform, tools, models and interoperability´. It also participates in the ´automotive´ and ´cross-domain´ industrial sub-projects, where - among others - ABB and Volvo participated. Overall, the project resulted in good cooperation with swedish as well as European partners. KTH cooperated with ABB in developing its use case, by supporting it with needed technologies and skills. KTH also cooperated with Fornebu Consulting to adapt and use KTH’s ForSyDe Tool suite.
