The key objective of CERTAINTY is to push forward the certification of real-time mixed critical embedded systems, a process currently challenged by the choices made at application design time about reliability and disturbances handling which deals with the management of interferences between different functions of complex control software over the whole system.
More specifically, from a research and technological perspective CERTAINTY will address the a set of four objectives:
CERTAINTY will advance the state of the art by validating a mixed critical application on multicore architecture about:
CERTAINTY will provide the basis for the definition of new approach to certification, its research is associated to the delivery of the following results:
New techniques and tools will be delivered that target a 30-50% decrease in production costs for complex systems' as well as a reduction of weight and thus fuel consumption and CO2 emission, through a streamline use of embedded components on IMA, under stable system complexity evolutions assumptions
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 288175
