 \subsubsection{\thales}
 
+\thales is a world leader for mission critical information systems, with activities in 3
+core businesses: aerospace (with all major aircraft manufacturers as customers), defence,
+and security (including ground transportation solutions). It employs 68000 people
+worldwide, and is present in 50 countries.  \thales develops its strategic capabilities in
+component, software and system engineering and architectures through its R \& T organization.
+Its six Divisions manage their strategy and technical co-ordination per domain with
+hundreds of Units in these Divisions developing their technical activities in close
+relationship with their market. In this environment, \thales Research \& Technology
+operates at the corporate level as the technical community network architect, in charge of
+developing upstream and \thales-wide R \& T activities, with vision and visibility.
+In support of \thales applications, TRT's mission is also to anticipate and speed up
+technology transfer from research to development in Divisions by developing collaborations
+in R\&T.
+
+Thales is international, but Europe-centered. Research \& Development activities are
+disseminated, and corporate Research and Technology is concentrated in Centres in France,
+the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
+The R\&T in Thales emphasizes more particularly on critical information systems,
+processing, control and cognitive systems, and autonomous systems.
+
+A key mission of our R\&T centres is to have a bi-directional transfer, or âimpedance
+matchingâ function between the scientific research network and the corresponding
+businesses. Benefiting from its presence and visibility on the international scene in
+advanced sciences, technology and software, \thales Research \& Technology is perceived as
+a valuable partner of the best research centres (academic or industrial) through
+recognized scientists and research engineer participation in collaborative projects.
+The TRTâs Information Science and Technology Group is able to develop innovative solutions
+along the information chain exploiting sensors data, through expertise in: computational
+architectures in embedded systems, typically suitable for autonomous system environments,
+mathematics and technologies for decision involving information fusion and cognitive
+processing, and cooperative technologies including man system interaction.
+The Embedded System Laboratory (ESL) of TRT involved in the COACH project is part of the
+Information Science and Technology Group.
+
+Like other labs of TRT, ESL is in charge of making the link between the needs from Thales
+business units and the emerging technologies, in particular through assessment and
+de-risking studies.
+It has a long experience on parallel architectures design, in particular on SIMD
+architectures used for image processing and signal processing applications and on
+reconfigurable architectures.
+ESL is also strongly involved in studies on programming tools for these types of
+architectures and has developed the SpearDE tool used in this project.
+The laboratory had coordinated the FP6 IST MORPHEUS project on reconfigurable technology,
+being highly involved in the associated programming toolset.
+
+The team is also involved in
+the FP6 IST FET AETHER project on self-adaptability technologies and coordinates national
+projects on MPSoC architecture and tools like the \verb+Ter@ops+ project (P\^{o}le de
+Comp\'{e}titivit\'{e} \verb+System@tic+) dedicated to the design of a MPSoC for intensive
+computing embedded systems.

 \subsubsection{\zied}
+
+\zied is an innovative start-up specialized in the conception of configurable circuits
+and the development of CAD tools. \zied provides a complete front-to-back-end generator
+of "hardware" reprogrammable IP cores that can be embedded in ASIC and ASSP SoC designs.
+\zied solution is based on a patented FPGA architecture delivering an unprecedented
+level of logic density. This high capacity is accessible using a traditional RTL flow from
+Verilog/VHDL synthesis all the way to bitstream generation.
+
+\zied is a spin-off from LIP6 (Laboratoire Informatique Paris 6) and was awarded at the
+French National Competition for Business Startup and Innovative Technology in 2007 and
+2009 in âemergenceâ and âcreationâ categories respectively.
