Embraer visits CISTER

On June 23rd, Sérgio Penna, head of R&D at the Flight Test Division of Embraer, Brazil, had a series of meetings at CISTER in his role of member of CISTER’s Industrial Advisory Board. The meetings aimed at fostering the collaborations between the two institutions and to share his views on the status of some of the research activities currently conducted in the Lab. Three CISTER topics were discussed with him: (1) the runtime monitoring & verification for hard real-time systems; (2) the contribution of CISTER to the ARTEMIS project DEWI (Dependable Embedded Wireless Infrastructure); and finally (3) the contribution of CISTER to the FP7 project P-SOCRATES (Parallel Software Framework for Time-Critical Many-core Systems), with a focus on the development of the measurement-based timing analysis tool being developed by the Lab.
