Research project MEDEIA FP7-ICT-2007-1-211448

The MEDEIA project's objective is a radical imprpovement in productivity for the development of embedded control systems within the European industrial automation sector.  The project will support the industry by means of creating a powerful method to design and maintain both long - term operational installations as well as automation solutions in environments with rapidly changing demands. To ensure  wide usage of the project results the MEDEIA method will be standardised and to provided as an open source design tool. Link: www.medeia.eu
