 The interest for \mds in this project is multiple. 
 \begin{itemize}
-\item We will collaborate in experiments for the integration of High Level Synthesis engines into IP-XACT based flow. 
-This point will be very valuable because more and more system integrators are using or considering to use
-HLS in their flow (e.g. Astrium, Airbus, etc.)
-\item \mds has already a leading position in the usage of IP-XACT standard for managing innovative SoC design
-methodologies. This project will allow to keep the advance in regards with competition by anticipating 
-the next generation platforms hosting mutli cores and programmable logic for coprocessors.
-\item HPC is a topic that was not covered yet by \mds with its customers. Thanks to this project, \mds will 
-collaborate with BULL on this point and this will open us doors for new customers market.
-\item This project has been set up for maximizing the industrial exploitation of results. The role of \mds will
-be to ensure this objective and after the project, we expect a growing contribution for rising the turnover (2015: 2 new customers = 100keuros, 
-2016: 4 new customers = 250keuros, 2017: 5 new customers = 400Keuros). These numbers are not high but we tried to keep them realistic. 
-The return on investment is nevertheless important and we can also expect side effects of this project on sales with existing 
-customers and prospects interrested in the global magillem solution.
