VERTIGO: Research project for embedded systems

A Joint research project named VERTIGO (Verification and Validation of Embedded System Design Workbench) is launched by Commission of European communities.
VERTIGO's objective is to develop configurable design platform so that the hardware for a specific application is built by configuring hardware blocks.
The process of hardware design will be simplified, speeded up and some of the design software stumbling blocks will be cleared through this project.

The development team behind this project consists of both companies and universities. The companies involved are, ST Microelectronics, Aerielogic, TransEDA systems. The university members are, Linkopings of Sweden, Southampton of UK, Tallinn of Estonia and Verona of Italy.
