Philips Medical Systems Nederland BV
Royal Philips Electronics is a leading healthcare and well-being company. In healthcare, Philips’ innovation revolves around improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare through a focus on care cycles. Central to care cycle thinking is a patient-centric approach that optimizes healthcare delivery for all the major diseases. In the Philips Healthcare (PH) sector, over 12% of systems sales are invested in R&D. The last 3 years PH strengthened its global leadership position by market share gains, margin expansion and enhancement of its competitive position with key acquisitions and partnerships. Underlying this leadership position is that Philips combines its expertise in medical technology with the clinical know-how of its customers to produce innovative solutions that meet not just the needs of individual patients, but which also enable healthcare professionals to work faster, more easily and more cost-effectively. While PH has a large global organization, in the Netherlands 3500 people work at PH, of which 1000 in R&D. Sales of PH’s total sector amounted to 7.8B€ in 2009. Philips is globally number one in medical diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring. More information on PH can be found at: http://www.medical.philips.com.
Main role in the project
Philips Healthcare is project coordinator. Philips Healthcare is involved in the various tasks related to model base simulation and run-time assessment of quality.
Staff members profile
Dr. Frank van der Linden works at Philips Healthcare CTO Office. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1984 at the University of Amsterdam. His main topics of interest are software architecture and processes, emphasizing software product line engineering. He was involved in Esprit-projects (FP1, FP2 and FP4) and project leader of the three successive ITEA projects on product line engineering: (ESAPS, CAFÉ, FAMILIES – 1999-2005), and successively on distributed development, including open source development (COSI 2005-2008). As part of these projects he was member of the organizing committee of a series of workshops on conferences in product lines (PFE & SPLC). In the last years he has organised several workshops on open source and product lines.
He is editor of many proceedings of SWAPF (Software Architectures for product Families), PFE (Product Family Engineering) workshops and SPLC (Software product lien conference. He is co-author of several books on Software product lines.
Robert Huis in ’t Veld Studied computer science at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. In 1994 he did his PhD at this university on “Developing a design framework for communication systems”. Between 1992 and 1996 he was working at the Technische Universiteit Twente and connected to the Race Project Cassiopeia en the Dutch national project Platinum. In 1996 he moved to Philips. He has been working as system architect for Philips Digital Transmission Systems, as programme manager at Philips Semiconductors, aand as technical product manager at Philips Consumer Electronics and finally as system architect bij Philips iXR.
AVL List GmbH

Technical University of Denmark
DTU Informatics, at the Technical University of Denmark, is the largest IT department in Denmark and represents a unique combination of modern applied mathematics and computer science & engineering. DTU Informatics employs around 90 PhD students with an annual production of 30 PhDs.
The section on Embedded Systems Engineering (ESE) is one of ten sections in DTU Informatics. ESE conducts research in a broad range of topics central for design of modern embedded systems, including real-time systems, fault-tolerant and safety-critical systems, hardware/software co-design, concurrent and parallel programming, heterogeneous distributed multi-core architectures and execution platforms, as well as a range of models, methods and tools for the analysis, design and verification of such systems.

Starting with early work on hardware/software partitioning within the Lycos system, ESE has a lot of experience on modelling, analysis and deign methods for software-intensive embedded systems.
ESE has been involved in proposing a method for the incremental design of distributed embedded systems, “An Approach to Incremental Design of Distributed Embedded Systems”, which has been nominated to the best paper award at the Design Automation Conference (DAC), 2001. Since then, ESE has focused on the evolutionary design of embedded systems by incorporating knowledge about previous designs into the design decisions.
Main role in the project
The main effort of DTU will be on “WP5— Design for evolvability”, where the focus will be on decision support methods and tools for evolutionary design. DTU will also work with WP2 on how to capture the flexibility of a design into the current modelling framework.
