The project aimed to develop and implement an ARTEMIS cross-domain reference architecture for embedded systems based on the architecture blueprint developed in the European FP7 project GENESYS.

The ACROSS project aimed at achieving the following objectives:

• An ACROSS-MPSoC that implements generic core services (e.g., deterministic communication, global time, diagnosis, fault and error containment) in an FPGA-based hardware for multiprocessor systems-on-a-chip (MPSoC).
• Design and implementation of generic optional services to be used in multiple application domains.
• A general model-based design methodology, supported by appropriate adaptable tools, for the implementation and verification of ACROSS-based applications taking into account existing domain-specific models/tools.
• Design and implementation of domain-specific optional services for the realisation of embedded applications in the following domains: automotive, aerospace and industrial design and implementation of selected sample applications from the cited domains, which will show the benefits of using the ACROSS approach.
