VERIMAG is a leading research center in embedded systems.

Embedded systems are at the heart of a wide area of applications, including avionics/aeronautics, space, transport, automotive, telecommunications, smart cards, consumer electronics. Embedded systems are composed of hardware and software components specifically designed for controlling a given application device. Embedded systems are of strategic importance for those sectors of the economy where Europe has traditionally been strong.

Research at Verimag provides theoretical and technical means for developing embedded systems, contributing to scientific advancement and industrial progress.

• Over the last fifteen years, Verimag has actively contributed to the development of the state-of-the-art, in particular for synchronous languages, verification, testing and modelling.
   
• The tools produced at Verimag are regularly transferred to commercial CASE tools and are used in a number of industrial applications.

Verimag is the coordinator of the European Network of Excellence ARTIST.

Verimag's strategy is to maintain a good balance between fundamental, experimental and applied research. This is particularly visible in long term cooperation with academic and industrial partners.

VERIMAG (UMR 5104), created in 1993, is an academic research laboratory affiliated with:

• the scientific University of Grenoble (UJF),
• the National Research Center (CNRS) and
• Grenoble Polytechnic Institute (INPG).

Verimag plays a major role in the university and engineering curricula at both UJF and INPG. Approximately 20 PhD students participate in Verimag's research programmes.

Verimag regularly hosts major workshops and conferences.

Verimag is composed of three teams:

Synchrone:	Synchronous Languages and Reactive Systems
DCS:	Distributed and Complex Systems
Tempo:	Timed and Hybrid Systems
