The purpose of the central project is to provide fundamental ingredients for the SPES project as a whole. Due to the huge size of the project, we decided in work package 1 to distribute a questionnaire to all industrial project partners. The main goal of this questionnaire was to get an overview over the situation and the needs of model-based development in industry today.// In this questionnaire, we concentrate on questions regarding technologies and tools to develop embedded systems. Although these questions focus on technical issues, we believe that the results also reflect the methods used today. However, questioning about the methods is more difficult than asking for the tools.// According to the results, the most important issues today are that tools and technologies are considerably heterogeneous, that model-based development is not yet used to its full extent, and that existing tools are not yet fully appropriate for efficient model-based development. The most important need is the integration of existing tools for seamless model-based development. The results provide a valuable input to work package 1 to ensure that the most important needs of the industry are taken into account.     «
