The ANR FAMOUS project

FAMOUS is a research project with an immediate industrial impact. Actually, it will make reconfigurable systems design easier and faster. The obtained tool in this project is expected to be used by both companies designers and academic researchers, especially for modern applications system specific design as smart camera, image and video processing ..etc. FAMOUS tools will be based on well established standards in design community. In fact, modeling will start from very high abstraction level using an extended version of MARTE. Simulation and synthesizable models will be obtained by automatic model to model transformations, using MDE approach. These techniques will contribute to shorten drastically time-to-market. FAMOUS is a basic research project. In fact, most of partners are academic (DaRT team of INRIA Lille Nord Europe, INRIA Rhone Alpes, Université de Bretagne Sud, Université de Bourgogne, Sodius), and its main objective is to explore novel design methodologies and target modern embedded systems architectures.
