Convergence Knowledge Model (WP-IA-1.1)

by Maike Uhlig — last modified Sep 16, 2009 10:52

Objectives

To identify competencies, classify research results, provide information of research efforts being conducted and research actions being taken, and to identify potential connections between researchers and scientific results of the S-Cube beneficiaries in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of how those research efforts and competencies fit into the larger body of knowledge relating to service-based applications.
To track research progress reported in publications that will be disseminated and shared during scientific meetings (e.g., workshops and conferences) in order to enrich the knowledge base of S-Cube.
To provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and an in-depth analysis of the research areas relevant to service based applications (SBAs).
To evaluate scientific community needs and to define a unifying view of the field in order to systematise the knowledge capital of the network beneficiaries.
To define – based on the knowledge model – short- and long-term research agendas and to ultimately define a research roadmap for service-based applications.
To provide an effective means of monitoring the convergence knowledge model and propose and evaluate practices by using a common set of indicators that include ease of use, coverage, and effectiveness of integration of research activities.
To guarantee progressive assimilation of new knowledge, integration of experience reports, introduction of case studies, selection of benchmarking applications, and provide overall harmonisation and long-term integration of research activities.
