• Surprisingly, a presentation was nevertheless
  required
• Other leading people from the cluster
  unavailable ? PM did presentations for compilers
  and for timing analysis
• Reviewers were happy with the results.
• Condensed format of review preferred

Minor comments

• Security not really fully integrated
• What will happen to Website, tools etc. at end of
  project?
• Deliverables for Y 4 due by middle of November

Summer School

• Summer school will be organized in September 8-12
  2008 Speakers for CTA have been
  selected(Wilhelm (keynote), Leupers, Marwedel
  (Falk on memory architecture aware
  compilation),Thiele (mapping applications to
  MPSoCs))
• 1 month extension for Artist2 nevertheless
  suggested to make payments no later than in
  August, if at all feasible.

Promises for Y4

• Problem to be Tackled over the next 12 months
  (Sept 2007 Aug 2008)
• Integration of components. Finalize ALF. Embed
  ALF in AIR (computation semantics).
• Flow description format. Continue research. Set
  up Flow Description Challenge.
• WCET Tool Challenge 2008.
• Timing Predictability. Will be continued in
  PREDATOR.
• Measurement-based Timing Analysis. Continue work
  on framework. Experiments. Emphasis transferring
  current monolithic framework into modular tool
  platform.
• WCET-Aware Compilation. Optimizations influence
  of standard optimizations, novel WCET-aware.
  Integrate flow analysis techniques into Dortmund
  compiler.

  existing components
• Indicators for Integration
• Working integration of Mälardalens flow analysis
  with aiT and Bound-T.
