Welcome to Columbus Project

The primary objective of the project is to develop a methodology for  the design of embedded controllers for safety-critical systems, by  focusing on important test cases that have been studied extensively  by the partners:

	automotive control
	flight control
	air-traffic control

An important goal of this proposal is to form a bridge between the European and the US research communities and set the scene for future collaboration at all levels.

In COLUMBUS we advocate a holistic approach to the solution of the design problem:

our approach includes methodology, supporting tools, IP’s, hardware and software platforms, and supply chain
management.

"Only by taking a global, high-level view of the problem, can we devise solutions that  are going to have a real impact on the design of embedded systems."
