Excerpt of SafeTRANS News 3/2012: The European project CESAR developed a so called Reference Technology Platform (RTP). This RTP has been certified by the ARTEMIS Industry Association (ARTEMIS-IA) and awared the ARTEMIS Tool Platform Label during the ARTEMIS-IA Steering Board meeting at the ARTEMIS/ITEA Co-Summits on Oktober, 30th 2012 in Paris. The CESAR RTP supports the development of safety critical embedded systems in the domains of automotive, aerospace, automation and rail.
The coordination activities for the so-called Cooperation RTP are harmonised under the umbrella of EICOSE, the European Institute for Complex Safety Critical Systems Engineering.

Excerpt of SafeTRANS News 3/2012: Representatives of the automotive industry (OEMs, suppliers, and tool vendors) work on the Automotive Roadmap Embedded Systems, which will be published in 2013. The aim of the roadmap is to achiev a common view of current and future challenges and developments in the domain of embedded systems in the automotive industry. The document serves all stakeholders as basis for future coordinated actions as well as for internal discussions. In second place, the Automotive Roadmap Embedded Systems aims at politicies and funding programmes. Thematically, the Roadmap focuses on embedded systems in the (future) vehicle as well as on engineering methods, processes, and tools for such systems.
Members of the Steering Board are Audi, BMW, Continental, Daimler, Fraunhofer IESE, ICS AG, Mathworks, OFFIS, Robert Bosch GmbH, RWTH Aachen, TU Berlin, TU Braunschweig, TU Munich and the University of Trier. After the National Roadmap Embedded Systems (NRMES), which was published to the BMBF at the IT Summit 2009 SafeTRANS takes over once more the coordination and preperation of a national wide roadmap.

The Austrian company TTTech Computer Technology Corporation became new member of SafeTRANS in May 2012. The competences of the middle sized company are improving safety and reliability of networked electronic systems in the industrial and transportation domain. TTTech is the leading provider of reliable network solutions based on time-triggered technology and modular security platforms. The product portfolio is certified with the of following standards: IEC 61508, ISO 26262, EN 13849, DO-254, and DO-178B. TTTech solutions are used for example in the Airbus A380, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and the Audi models A8, A7 and A6. In 2012, TTTech invested 20 million Euros in R & D. Activities in the R & D domain will be further supported by SafeTRANS. The company was founded in 1998 as a spin-off of the TU Vienna. Today, TTTech has branch offices in Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Romania, the United States, Japan, Korea, and China, whereas the headquarter is located in Vienna.
Since May 2012, Hervé Portier (Airbus France) and Prof. Dr. Werner Damm (OFFIS, SafeTRANS) chair the ARTEMIS-IA Working Group Tool Platforms. The so called tool platforms build on the results of European research projects mainly of the ARTEMIS and ITEA funding programme. Tool platforms provide specifications for processes, and methods for the development of embedded systems. Tool platforms support the productivity and sustainability of R & D projects by sharing research results, and fostering the use of technologies across different domains.
Hervé Portier and Werner Damm are both at the same time members of the EICOSE Steering Board. EICOSE is the European Institute for Complex Safety Critical Systems Engineering.
