The SPEEDS consortium comprises the following companies and research institutions: Airbus, Atego (Extessy), Carmeq, EADS, Esterel Technologies, Dassault Systèmes (Geensoft), IBM Israel, Institut National de Récherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA), Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Knorr Bremse Fekrendszerek, Kuratorium OFFIS, Magna Powertrain Engineering Center, Parades Geie, Robert Bosch, Saab and Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble.

The SPEEDS initiative is a concerted effort to define a standard end-to-end framework for the implementation of innovative, next generation concepts, methodologies, processes, technologies and tools for the design of embedded systems. It is intended to significantly improve Europe’s performance and competitiveness in embedded systems design in key, safety-critical industry sectors such as automotive, avionics and industrial control, in what are increasingly becoming fiercely competitive markets.    Its aim is also to provide an environment that will not only foster greater collaboration between European companies of all sizes involved in the embedded systems arena but also significantly widen access for smaller companies to leading edge tools and techniques.  The initiative as a whole will enable the European embedded systems industry to seamlessly evolve from model-based design of hardware/software systems towards an integrated component-based construction of complete, virtual system models.
