Acknowledgement of Partners Contribution The high-level architecture of the system has already been defined in the Technical annex of the project.

System architecture at a more detailed level required the synthesis of the complimentary knowledge and qualification of all partners as well as the work performed in previous work-packages (user requirements, AFNOR analysis) for the analysis of the following aspects
