On the project

Real-Time Software-Intensive Control systems (RSIC) are often safety-critical, and their dependability is vital to successful operation of the systems. With an abundance of applications interfacing with and controlling the environment, there is increasing importance and demand for efficient development of high quality RSIC systems. The main objective of the proposed project is to establish a platform for a sustained and consistent mobility exchange of graduate students engaged in RSIC oriented programs. These programs need to produce graduates capable of working efficiently in multidisciplinary teams engaged in international collaboration on industrial RSIC projects, which require conformance to specific standards mandated by regulatory authorities. This four-year Excellence in Mobility (EIM) project is proposed by a consortium of three American and three European university partners. The project proposes mobility exchange of students pursuing graduate (Master level) engineering degrees in the areas supported by the consortium partners. The plan is to implement a mechanism for involving students from multilingual, geographically separated institutions in a coordinated educational and research experience exposing them to the problems, methods, solution techniques, infrastructure, technologies, regulatory issues, and design/verification tools usually not available in their home program. Four of the six consortium partners are currently participating in successful two-year Policy Oriented Measures project: ILERT - International Learning Environment for Real-Time Software Intensive Control Systems funded in 2006 in the framework of the EU-US cooperation Atlantis program. The preliminary analysis of the consortium partners’ programs based on the ILERT findings, allowed partners to recognize specific areas of focus and to identify the preliminary list of courses that the overseas students could take while spending a mobility term abroad.
