+    It covers important steps as system architecture exploration, and the definition of virtual

+    verification of hardware blocks, and preparation of certification activities.
+    COACH solutions and engines will be specified to be integrated into this standard flow.

+     The objective of this project (with TIMA and MDS) was to define innovative methods, and implement the associated tools, to ease
