+% Relevance of the proposal 
+
+The COACH proposal addresses directly the Embedded Systems of
+the ARPEGE program, aiming at providing solutions to the societal/economical challenges by
+providing the industry the novel design capabilities enabling them to increase their
+design productivity with design exploration and synthesis methods that are placed on top 
+of the stat-of-theart methods, and thus, allowing the industry to better cope with the 
+complexity of designed digital systems.
+\par
+COACH will also contribute to the following strategic objectives of the ARPEGE program:
+COACH will specifically contribute to enable the building of open development and run-time
+environments for software and services, interoperable middleware and tools to support
+developers in the production of embedded software, through all phases of the software lifecycle,
+from requirements analysis until deployment and maintenance.
+\\
+More specifically, COACH focuses on:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item High level methods and concepts (esp. requirements and architectural level) for system
+design, development and integration, addressing complexity aspects and modularity.
+\item Open and modular development environments, enabling flexibility and extensibility by
+means of new or sector-specific tools and ensuring consistency and traceability along the
+development lifecycle.
+\item Light/agile methodologies and adaptive workflow providing a dynamic and adaptive
+environment, suitable for co-operative and distributed development.
+\end{itemize}
+COACH outcome will contribute to strengthen Europe's competitive position by developing
+technologies and methodologies for product development, focusing (in compliance with the
+scope of the above program) on technologies, engineering methodologies, novel tools,
+methods which facilitate resource use efficiency. The approaches and tools to be developed 
+in COACH will enable new and emerging information technologies for the development,
+manufacturing and integration of devices and related software into end-products.

 The project will also borrow from the ROMA ANR project (2007-2009) and the ongoing 
-joint INRIA-STMicro Nano2012 project. In particular we will adapt existing pattern

 On the HPC application side, we also hope to benefit from the experience in
 hardware acceleration of bioinformatic algorithms/workfows gathered by the
