This requires a particular focus on developing and upgrading software and simulation models to exploit the power of the new generations of supercomputers, and calls for reinforced research and development on enabling hardware and software technologies both upstream and downstream along the value chain, including advanced components and systems, system and application software, modelling and simulation.

the assurances corresponding to each software assurance level must give sufficient confidence that the EATMN software can be operated tolerably safely.

Although Turborouter has become a commercial software tool, the Authority considers that the RCN funds allocated to the sub-project ‘Methods and analytical tools for design and operation of integrated transport and logistics chains’ of Project 40049 which led to the development of the first software programme Turborouter concerned a phase of RD which qualified as industrial research within the meaning of the 1994 RD Guidelines. As the Authority noted in Decision No 60/06/COL, since the first software was developed in the first phase of the sub-project back in early 1996, the ...[+++]software has been further improved and also marketed.
