What is the Cátedra SAES-UMU?
SAES (Sociedad Anónima de Electronica Submarina) and the University of Murcia (UMU) signed the Cátedra SAES-UMU, a private initiative where a set of tools based on open-source software are being designed and developed. These tools are used to validate different developments in the field of submarine electronics and acoustics, the main aim of SAES.
This Cátedra SAES-UMU initiative is created in the context of the continuous improvement process of the company, paying special attention to increasing the current quality level of the internal software development processes. It is based on several years of continuous collaboration between SAES and the University of Murcia, that since 2006 are collaborating in common projects and initiatives. This initiative is also the base for current and future research and knowledge transfer activities in the context of open source software and real time and critical applications and services.
