As of the 1st of July 2008 the FP7 funded research project CORONA started.

CORONA is intended to:

• develop a product engineering methodology and implement it as a knowledge-based, networked cooperation framework for customers, designers and manufacturers,
• develop tools for an integrated design flow from the idea to the final product introducing tools to combine behaviour-oriented top-down and fabrication-oriented bottom-up design flows,
• demonstrate the effectiveness of methodology and tools by realising example products.

More information will become available shortly.
