Objectives & strategic positionning
Systematic : a cluster dedicated to complex systems
Today’s society
depends on complex systems
Complex systems combine:
- Sensors and information processing...
- Communication and Decision-making processes...
They are deployed
across a wide area (Large Sytems) or embedded into a smaller environment
(Embedded Systems). They play a key role in management, supervision, regulation
and control of today’s society, especially in the following fields: trade,
energy, transport, environment, defence, finance, health, security.
They share two major features:
- In normal operation, these systems are practically invisible to the user who only sees the final service provided (i.e. financial transactions, assisted braking)
- In fail soft mode (when there is a failure, a mistake, an attack, etc.), the existence of this system becomes obvious: the system’s failure causes the paralysis of a society’s vital function and therefore puts people and property in jeopardy
Systematic main challenges are to develop new approaches to design future generations of complex systems and objects.
Innovation is a key factor for industrial competitiveness, it becomes effective when you manage :
- To bring together Large companies, SMEs and research laboratories working in partnership in a given region
- To involve high tech SMEs, techno-providers who will become tomorrow’s leaders
- To get support from public institutions as well as local, regional and national governments
R&D projects developed by Systematic join this dynamics of innovation.
The Systematic goal is to raise Paris-Region at the international top level of the ICTs and specificly number 1 in Software-Intensive Systems (SISs).
Systematic strategy : to combine key technologies and growing target market
This strategic positioning puts the Cluster ahead of key technologies :
- optics
- electronics
- software
Systematic targets applicative technologies which will cover a wide range of briskly growing markets (10% to 20% per year) offering a host of opportunities (open-ended rules, open standards and upsurge of freeware) that meet the social needs of major large cities in the 21st century.
Systematic focuses on six Working Groups sharing strategic vision and monitoring innovative projects
