Welcome by UMA/SPARCIM, • Agenda, Introduction of new members, minutes of last meeting • Apologies (Alain Girault, Christer Norström, Reza Razavi, Felicita di Giandomenico, Angelos Bilas, Jaco van de Pol, Luca Simoncini, Wan Fokkink, Axel Poigne, Kevin Hammond) • Registered: Schoitsch, Skavhaug, Klein, Guelfi, Diaz, le Dantec, Cosnard, Ronchaud • 1. Manuel Diaz (UMA): Recent Work in the Embedded Systems Field • 2. Short member presentations (1) • Gilbert Klein, University of Luxembourg: Embedded Systems at the University of Luxembourg (Overview of current and future work on GMAAA, SESAME, CORRECT, LOGRUS, AMBIANCE and e-Care projects) • Nicolas Guelfi, Univ. of Lux: The new RISE WG with focus on embedded systems.

2. Meeting ERCIM – WG “Dependable Software-intensive Embedded Systems” University of Malaga, Nov. 2nd, 2004 • Proposed AGENDA (2) • Short Member Presentations (2) • c) Erwin Schoitsch, ARCS (AT): Requirements for a generic Test Bench for Dependable Embedded Systems, “embedded” in DECOS Architecture and Technology. • d) Amund Skavhaug, NTNU Trondheim (NO): Use of COTS HW/SW in an Application with high reliability requirements for deep sub sea. • 4. Proposal for detailed work programme/next meeting: • Participation in Conferences and Workshops ? (Euromicro report Amund, SAFECOMP 2005, fellowship programs ) – How can member involvement be utilized for ERCIM ? • AOB (Strategic Paper for ERCIM: Strategy for ICT in Europe ?)

3. Membership ERCIM – WG • STATUS of WG: • Austria (ARCS) • Greece (FORTH-ICS) • Luxembourg (University of Lux, 3*) • Sweden (MRTC/SICS) • Norway (NTNU) • Netherlands (CWI) • France (INRIA 2*) • Italy (CNR, PDCC) • Germany (FhG/GMD) • UK (Univ. of Edinburgh, Kevin Hammond) • NEW: Manuel Diaz, Univ. of Malaga (SPARCIM) • Corresponding member:Gopal Chandavarapu, Bosch, Palo Alto • Potential members: ALL, since each member has in its records • some related topic (dependability, embedded systems, distributed • Systems, control, etc.) • OPEN to members from other organisations than ERCIM (EWICS TC7, • GI, ENCRESS, ….) or more than one person from a member ! • Co-operation with other ERCIM WGs, e.g. Formal Methods…

4. New Challenges - Ambient Intelligence Around us ... Micro-capsule Products and equipment at the service of individuals … inside us ?

5. ERCIM – WG “Dependable software-intensive (embedded) Systems” • New challenges through new dimensions of system attributes: • context awareness (identification, localization, interactions persons – objects) • Intelligence (digital environment adapts to (mobile) objects, persons, and interact independently – new fascinating services) • natural interaction (human language, gestures, speech systems) • personalization (user centered, dynamic adaption, to changing situations, user profiles/preferences) • Dependability (time dynamics, timely responsiveness, security, safety, availability, ….) • Low Power Management, wireless/mobile, seamless communication • Hard real time applications (automotive, aerospace, railways, process control, medical devices, communications, …) and challenges of composability, COTS, (ultra-) high confidence design and certification, security and predictability)

6. ERCIM – WG “Dependable software-intensive (embedded) Systems” • Proposed work program items: • Experience exchange • Joint position papers on relevant issues • Information exchange with organisations, WGs and committees where ERCIM members are active, decision building process • WG meetings adjacent to other relevant meetings/conferences (Euromicro, EWICS, SAFECOMP, ….) • „Virtual WG“: web site, discussion board • Contributions to ERCIM news (# 52 !!) • One major event per year ? (may be in combination with existing Event, but specific session, tutorial etc.) • Co-operation in EU-FP6 • Co-operation in standardization and awareness building processes Decision: Full ES – scope !!!
