Industrial Participation
A number of companies -- some with previous collaborative
experience -- have teamed to support this program, although the
list could grow in the future:
- Telefónica R&D is the leading national R&D company in the communications
area. Details can be found here.
Past collaboration includes European projects on software
services specification and validation.
- Atos Origin is a key
company in the national software market. Current collaboration
includes European proposals on semantic specification of components
and software services.
- Iberdrola is a leading, global, Spanish company in the energy
sector, with its roots in production and delivery of electric
power. As such, it is also a big software developer for its internal
needs, ranging from the control of power stations to the monitoring
of the distribution network, etc.
Active collaboration is chanelled through
the Principe de Asturias chair at the University of
New Mexico, held by Manuel Hermenegildo, promoted by
Iberdrola itself.
From a technological standpoint, the interests of Iberdrola in the
program are twofold. On one hand, safety critical software is a big
motivation for doing research on correct/reliable production
technologies.
On the other hand, complex resource assignment
problems introduces great expectations on constraint programming.
Iberdrola has participated as EPO in former R&D activities of the
signing groups and has also collaborated with the CLIP group in
several European projects.
- DEIMOS
Space is a
private Spanish company in the aerospace and communications field,
also with a good deal of safety critical application areas.
Deimos has participated as EPO in other projects by the signing
groups.
- ISOCO is a provider of
component-based tailored software solutions.
They are currently cooperating in several European proposals with the
signing groups in areas related to specification and
interoperability. They are also users of the Ciao system.
- New Knowledge Network is a company working in
the identification, design, development and support of
entrepreneurial initiatives.
They have collaborated in past research projects.
- Indra
is the leading Information Technologies and Defense
Systems(IT) company in Spain, with revenues of 1,202 MEuros and
an order book totalling 1,623 MEuros in 2005.
