1 European Embedded Control Institute EECI has been created in May 2006, in the framework of the HYCON Network of Excellence (FP6-IST), a funded European Community project ( ). EECI is a "lightweight" association (under the French Association Law 1901), based on volunteer work by its members. EECI offers a legal and perennial structure making the European control community a reality. EECI Management Committee: - Marika Di Benedetto, Univ L Aquila, IT - Sebastian Engell, Univ. Dormund, DE - Eduardo Camacho, Univ. Sevilla, ES Memorandum of Understanding signed with 12 institutions EECI is Member of ARTEMISIA Chamber B Contact: Françoise Lamnabhi-Lagarrigue, lamnabhi@lss.supelec.fr

3 Modelisation of physical phenomena to understand and predict their dynamic behaviour and the interactions among their components Development of control strategies and algorithms to optimize the behaviour of systems so that they accomplish certain intended functions, satisfy constraints, minimize negative effects, e.g. consumption of resources Implementation of the control strategies by selecting sensing devices, computing elements and actuators and integrating them into a system with maximum performance under cost constraints Validation and verification of the implementation of the control strategies acting so that indeed the physical systems satisfies the constraints and the performance requirements 3

4 Main idea 1 Research on Highly-Complex and Networked Control Systems has major strategic relevance for the European industry and society and is essential to ensuring a leading position for Europe in numerous key industrial sectors and in the biological and medical word. Main idea 2 The analysis and design of control algorithms is an essential technology for improving robustness, safety, performance, predictability and cost of large-scale networked systems (increasingly distributed & immersed in hostile environments) Main idea 3 The new discipline merging the disciplines of control, computer, communication with physical or biological systems is facing new very interesting challenges. A considerable focused research effort by the best complementary teams is needed.

5 Five key challenges for future R&D and Innovation Systems & Control Science 1. System-wide coordination and control of large-scale systems 2. Distributed networked dynamic systems 3. Autonomy, cognition and control 4. Model-based systems engineering 5. Human-machine interaction in automated systems HORIZON

6 European Embedded Control Institute Role and mission: to stimulate new collaborative (multi-national and multi-disciplinary) research, to break down the barriers between the traditional disciplines, to disseminate associated methods and tools, to organize the education of students and researchers, to transfer methodologies to industry.
