• DESIRE2 : Dependable Systems International Research and Educational Experience
• Type of project: ATLANTIS Euro-US programme
• Partners: 
• Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL, USA (coordination) 
• University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA
• University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ
• AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, PL
• Brno University of Technology, Brno, Czech Republic,
• Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, FR 

• Duration : 2008-2012
• Objectives: The main objective of the proposed project is to establish a platform for a sustained and consistent mobility exchange of graduate students engaged in RSIC (Real-Time Software-Intensive Control systems) oriented programs.

• Industrial contract
• Duration : 2007-2016
• Objectives: Setting of the communication and architecture IEC 61850 standards, for various existing or future architecture levels, for control chains of electrical distribution installation.

• SALEIE: Strategic Alignment of Electrical and Information Engineering in European Higher Education Institutions
• Type de projet : Réseau Thématique ERASMUS
• Durée : 2012-2015
• Objectifs: 

The project created a range of outcomes that benefit educational institutions, programme designers and faulty in the EIE area and demonstrate their applicability and added value across Europe. The dissemination plan ensures the outcomes of the project has reached the head of every known EIE providing academic department across Europe. Finally sustainability is assured through a commitment from the EAEEIE to maintain the outcomes beyond the life of the project..

• ELLEIEC: Enhancing Lifelong Learning for the Electrical and Information Engineering Community
• Type of project : ERASMUS thematic networks
• Partners: 60 European partners, coordination : Université Claude Bernard 
• Duration : 2008-2011
• Objectives: The vision of the project is to advance aspects within Electrical and Information Engineering (EIE) that are not currently well developed.  The specific focus will be the skills and competencies required of the individual who aspires to establish their own business and the innovative employee who wishes to be enterprising within an existing organization within EIE. Our project will establish a virtual centre for the development of enterprise skills and competencies; investigate and report on the implementation issues and impact of LL on the employability of people all around Europe; and carry out comparative assessment of the virtual delivery compared to conventional delivery models.  The virtual centre will connect learners of any age to a network of educators within academic institutions, business formation advisory bodies and business mentors across Europe in a way that enables skills and competence, in conjunction with foreign language skills to be enhanced.

• EIE-Surveyor : Reference Point for Electrical and Information Engineering in Europe
• Type of project : ERASMUS thematic networks
• Partners: 110 European partners. Coordination Université Henri Poincaré Nancy 1 (JM Thiriet) 
• Duration: 2005-2008
• Objectives: 
• Reflection on generic competences and subject-specific competences in Electrical and Information Engineering (EIE)
• Implementation of quality assessment methodologies on some educational resources available in EIE
• Reflection and proposition of a methodology for accreditation, in order to enhance comparability and common certification procedures
• Proposition of a census of the existing curricula in EIE in Europe, the multinational degrees, and the situation of the implementation of the Bologna-process in EIE, at the bachelor, master and PhD levels

Results of the project are available, as three books which are published and sent to many target groups. The results of the project can also be downloaded http://www.eie-surveyor.org/cd/.

1. (Under the co-ordination of A.E. Ward) - "The alignment of Generic, Specific and Language Skills within the Electrical and Information Engineering discipline", Ed. EAEEIE, Nancy-Grenoble, September 2008, 188 pages, (ISBN 2-9516740-2-3).

In this book is proposed a list of competences in EIE, implementing the European TUNING [1] [2] [3] transversal approach; this aspect is very important when considering accreditation and recognition at the European level. The value of the Tuning Methodology and of the analyses carried out has been demonstrated by this project task and the specific findings point clearly to areas where more work can be undertaken.

 

2. (Under the co-ordination of M.J. Martins & J.M. Thiriet) - "Overview of the Bologna Process - Implementation in Europe in Electrical and Information Engineering", Ed. EAEEIE, Nancy-Grenoble, September 2008, 538 pages, (ISBN - 2-9516740-3-1).

This book proposes two reference papers on the implementation of the Bologna process at the bachelor and master and at the doctoral level. A study on the mobility in EIE is also proposed.

The second part of the book is constituted of a presentation of the situation of the implementation of the Bologna process in EIE in Europe in each country, with updated data, compared to the previous version of the book, published in 2003 [4].

 

3. (Under the co-ordination of D. Pasquet and D. Deniz) - "Quality and Accreditation in Europe: implication in Electrical and Information Engineering", Ed. EAEEIE, Nancy-Grenoble, September 2008, 79 pages, (ISBN - 2-9516740-4-X).

The book consists of two parts. The first part is dedicated to the Quality Assessment of Resources in EIE Available through the Internet. The second part concerns an analysis of the existing accreditation procedures, and proposition of a methodology..

• ILERT : Toward International Learning Environment for Real-Time Software Intensive Control Systems
• Type of project : ATLANTIS Euro-US programme
• Partners: 
• Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL, USA (coordination)
• AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, PL
• Brno University of Technology, Brno, Czech Republic
• INPG, Grenoble, FR
• Duration : 2006-2008
• Objectives: Considering demand for efficient development of quality Real-Time Software-Intensive Control systems (RSIC), ILERT presents methodology for creation of multinational, interdisciplinary curriculum producing graduates capable of working efficiently in teams engaged in international collaboration on safety-related RSIC projects. In this two-year policy-oriented project engaging four university partners, we propose a pilot  study leading to establishing  international curriculum framework focusing on this important aspect of the computer/system/control/software engineering education. The framework can be a model for other engineering programs across the Atlantic..

• SAFENECS : Control and Scheduling Co-Design of Safe Networked Control Systems
• Type of project : ANR
• Partners: 
• CRAN (coordinateur)
• LORIA
• LAG/GIPSA-Lab
• LAAS
• INRIA Rhône-Alpes

 

• Duration : 2005-2009
• Objectifs: The context of this project is the design of embedded systems whose function is the fault tolerant control of continuous process and whose implementation is done onto a distributed platform (Networked Control Systems). One of the main specificities in this context arises from the autonomous aspect of these systems and, more precisely from the resources constraints (network bandwidth, processor power, etc...). In particular the project aims at developing a "co-design" approach that integrates in a ccordinated way several kinds of parameters: characteristics modelling Quality of Control (QoC) as given by automatic control specialists, the dependability properties required on a system and the parameters of real-time scheduling (tasks and messages).
