| Project Title: | SPRINT- Software Platform For Integration Of Engineering And Things |
|
| Funding Scheme: | STREP | |
| Description: | SPRINT is a collaboration between industry leaders and research institutes in the European Union to build an Internet-based platform that will unify the diverse companies and engineering disciplines working on the various components of complex engineering projects. The SPRINT project - short for Software Platform for Integration of Engineering and Things - aims to overcome the challenges presented by today's silo'ed approach, where the actual integration and testing of the various components is only possible once the system can be completely assembled. The new Internet platform will connect the tools used by the different companies to present a single unified picture of the system being developed. For example, such tools include IBM Rational's System Architect for design, Team Center for testing, DOORS for requirements engineering, MathCore's MathModelica, HP's Quality Center, Elvior's TestCast, as well as other inhouse proprietary tools. The consortium will use the Jazz technology from Rational as a foundation to create an integration layer that connects all the tools, teams, models, and methods. | |
| Objectives: | SPRINT proposes to leverage the concept of Internet of Things, establishing the foundation for the Internet of System Engineering. Based on an Internet-like service infrastructure the SPRINT Networked Environment will provide the virtual blending via Internet of all "things" pertaining to a complex system: sensors, actuators, processing elements, system design tools and models and design teams that are in general spread over different geographical locations. The platform will include novel early verification approaches that involve virtual integration of mathematical models of components to alleviate the problem of late error discovery while supporting the entire cycle of product development: design, integration, verification and deployment. This research will open a new vista on the use of Internet of Things that may change radically the way in which systems are designed and tested. | |
