Principal funding for the Ptolemy project comes from the National
Science Foundation (NSF award number CCR-00225610), and Chess (the
Center for Hybrid and Embedded Software Systems), which receives
support from NSF and the following companies: Agilent, General Motors,
Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, Infineon, Samsung and Toyota. Major prior
funding was received from DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency.
