The Compsys group of Ecole Normale Sup\'erieure de Lyon is a project-team
of INRIA Rh\^one-Alpes and a part of Laboratoire de l'Informatique du
Parall\'elisme (LIP), UMR 6638 of CNRS. It has four permanent researchers
and a variable number of PhD students and post-docs. Its field of
expertise is compilation for embedded system, optimizing compilers
and automatic parallelization. It  has authored or contributed to
several well known libraries for linear programming, polyhedra manipulation
and optimization in general. It has strong industrial cooperations, notably
with ST Microelectonics and Thales.

University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC)  is the largest university in France (7400 employees,38000 students). 
The Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris 6 (LIP6) is the computer science laboratory of UPMC, hosting
more than 400 researchers, under the umbrella of the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique). 
The « System on Chip » Department of LIP6 consists of  80 people, including 40 PHD students. 
The research focus on CAD tools and methods for VLSI and System on Chip design. 
The annual budget is about 3 M{\texteuro}, and 1.5 M{\texteuro} are from research contracts. 
The SoC department has been involved in several european projects :IDPS, EVEREST, OMI-HIC, OMI-MACRAME, 
OMI-ARCHES, EUROPRO, COSY, Medea SMT, Medea MESA, Medea+ BDREAMS, Medea+ TSAR. 
The public domain VLSI CAD system ALLIANCE, developped at UPMC is installed in more than 200 universities worldwide.
The LIP6 is in charge of the technical coordination of the SoCLib national project, and is hosting
the SoCLib WEB server. The LIP6 will be in charge of integrating the Coach results in the frame work of
the SoCLib infrastructure to provide an open access to the Coach design environment.
Moreover, the LIP6 developped during the last 10 years the UGH tool for high level synthesis, 
and the DSX tool for design space exploration, that will be two building blocks for the Coach design-flow.
Even if the preferred dissemination policy for the Coach design flow will be the free software policy,
(following the SoCLib model), the SoC department is ready to support start-ups : Six startup companies 
(including FLEXRAS) have been created by former researchers from  the SoC department of LIP6 between 1997 and 2002.
