The systematic guidelines and templates used for the documentation of validation results and their related aspects are detailed. The set of collected validation results, documented according to these guidelines, is then presented. Finally, planned, upcoming evaluation activities are introduced.

The framework developed as part of this workpackage should cater for various types of service-based application (SBA) stakeholders, or parties with an interest or concern in the design, development and operation of SBAs. This interim deliver-able identifies an initial set of stakeholder types which will be refined and expanded as part of Task T-IA-3.1.3 later in the project.

In the first part of the report, requirements emerging from the scenarios and business cases considered in S-Cube are matched with the research roadmap of S-Cube. This gap analysis helps identifying research topics and areas that are in need of alignment. This deliverable reports preliminary results, which will be extended and detailed in the upcoming CD-IA-2.2.4 deliverable. Then the report analyzes the contacts with industries which have been pursued so far in the project and the initiatives that have been taken. On the basis of the results of these efforts and of the comments received during the second year review, this report delineates a strategy for achieving the goals that S-Cube has set with respect with interaction with industries and proposes a plan to be implemented in the second part of the project.

The analysis results presented in this document are based on a set of consolidated information elements obtained within this WP and within other integration and research WPs. The performed analysis aims to show how the research activities of the individual partners are aligned with the goals and objectives of the network. It also demonstrates how the research activities and results of the S-Cube as a whole are progressing with respect to the overall research agenda. Based on the inputs, the document reports on the positioning of the current status of the results and competences with respect to the research agenda and the S-Cube roadmap, identifying the possible gaps, misbalances, and overlaps that have may be adjusted and resolved.

In the first part we discuss SNs fundamentals, presenting a life cycle of SNs that breaks down the creation, implementation, enactment, monitoring and optimization of a network into five distinct phases. Each of these phases interacts with different aspects of the S-Cube research framework. In this deliverable we focus on the initial, modeling and simulation phase of the life-cycle. The second part of the deliverable focuses on the application of simulation techniques to two interrelated types of network analysis: value and performance analysis.

To bring the results together and to provide a coherent view on the different techniques using common realizing architecture a set of integration scenario has been defined and elaborated. Based on the integrated mode l defined in previous documents, these scenarios aim to define the reference architecture and approach relating various contributions, as well as to define the concrete interfaces and dependencies between them. The scenario presented in this deliverable refer to the some of the key research problems studied in the scope of the workpackage and the project, namely cross-layer quality driven monitoring and adaptation, proactive adaptation and context-aware monitoring and adaptation.

Some of the presented contributions validate and extend the S-Cube life-cycle and integrate it with new knowledge about user tasks, inherited from the HCI literature, and context. A special attention is also posed to the problem of service evolution. The various facets of this evolution are considered and a formal framework that allows a definition of service compatibility is provided. A formal framework is also used as the basis for an approach that supports the design and runtime self-adaptation of SBAs. As one of the main goals of industry is to reuse their assets in order not to lose their investments, an important issue for the practical adoption of SBAs is to understand how migration from traditional to SBA systems can be achieved. In this deliverable we present a first step toward a systematization of this field.

A description of the work package’s roadmap until the end of the S-Cube project is given, including the validation strategy and the interaction with other WPs. The validation method is introduced and applied to the IRF. The results of this application are listed. Finally, the summarized results and the conclusions are presented.

Based on the internal validation presented in the deliverable CD-IA-3.2.2 as well on the improvements implemented by the planned readjustment of S-Cube’s Joint Programme of Activities, the research challenges and research questions included in the first version of the IRF (see CD-IA-3.1.3) had been updated with respect to the research focus of the Joint Research Activities. This effort aims at reducing the complexity of the IRF and also to ensure its consistency. In addition, a first attempt to identify the relationship between the research challenges and questions in the IRF and the Future of Internet vision is discussed.
