Deliverables Status


Tasks Details


Task 6.1

Definition of the Integration Steps• Leader: Graphitech• Participants: MHG, FLY, ITENE

Objectives• Define the integration steps• Define validation concepts

• Functionalities• Communication


Integration StrategyWaterfall + agile like approach• 3 major loops of integration and lab validation• Agile works well with small groups for specific tasks• 3 big integration steps and 3-4 loops of iterative evolution• Bug fixing and integration at high frequency• Parallel support for real use case pilots

T.6.2

T.6.3

T.6.4


Integration strategy - 2For each main integration step:• Definition of the involved components• Timeline with integration steps, milestones, telcos, days for

testing• One testing scenario based on the use case• Involved actors recognition• Definition of HW and SW• Functional requirements• Non-functional requirements• Testing approach

Timeline

Tentative integration timeline drafted• Defines integration steps at high level• One Telco every 2 weeks (eventually increased or reduced)• One/two testing days per month (incremental report writing)• One/two days for the reporting of the results


Testing scenario definition

• Testing scenario based on the use case

• Involved actors

• HW & SW Requirements

• Functional Requirements

• Non-functional Requirements

• Define a threshold to be reached


Testing

• Execute the testing scenario• Evaluate the functional requirements• Evaluate the non-functional requirements• Check the results against a threshold• Fill a report

• Bugs and other issues to be notified to the partners in charge


Deliverables and Expectations

Reports:• D.6.01 System Integration and Validation Plan (M13)

• Contribution from the involved partners for:• functional and non functional requirements• Testing scenarios revision• Draft reports as deliverable annexes


Task 6.2

First Integration: forest inventory & harvesting systems• Leader: Graphitech• Participants: MHG, FLY, TRE, GRE, ITENE


Objectives

• Integration between HW providers and SW developer

• Collected data available among HW and SW providers (FIM)

• Communication between HW sensors and RFID tracking

• Estimation of• Components and operations costs• Productivity and reliability


Deliverables and Expectations

Reports:• D.6.021 System Integration report 1 (M23)

• Preliminary layout as annex of D.6.01• D.6.041 System techno economic evaluation report 1

• Preliminary layout as annex of D.6.01

• Integrated working prototype ready to be shown at mid-termproject review

• Collaboration from CNR for a first schema of a system techno-economic evaluation report

• Regular Telcos on a Monthly basis• First Telco at Task’s start


Risks

• Data Formats • DB Model (T.1.5 and T.5.1)• Reduce Harmonization/adaptation• Images and other data formats

• Unreliable Services• Hardware interfaces with software

• RFID• BT

• Inability to reproduce planned test field/conditions

• Component testing takes time!


Mitigating Actions

• Exhaustive System Architecture• T.1.5 and Parallel Session of Tomorrow

• Exhaustive Requirement analysis• D.1.1 and D.1.2

• Common data model• T.1.4

• Communication• Skype (Small Group, no desktop sharing)• WebEx (up to 25 persons with desktop sharing)• Monthly Basis


Open Discussion
