Brussels, July 2nd, 2015

Task Overview


• Status: Completed (100%)• Length: 7 Months (From M10 to M16)• 5 Involved Partners

• Leader: GraphiTech• Participants: COMPOLAB, MHG, FLY, ITENE

• Aim: Achieve a complete integration of the different components that are part of the SLOPE platform to be tested on pilot areas

• Output: • D.6.01 System integration and validation plan

Mid-term Review 2/Jul/15

Work Package key aspects

• Build a working system

• Ready for pilots and on-the-field testing

• 3 Main tasks:• First Integration - Forest Inventory & Harvesting

System • Second Integration - Forest Management• Third Integration – System Validation

• Technical and Economical Analysis • Overall solution costs• Social impacts• Environmental impacts

T.6.2

T.6.3

T.6.4


Process• Evaluate existing software development processes

• Definition of the integration strategy

• Enrich each integration task (6.2, 6.3, 6.4) with the chosen strategy


SW Development processes evaluation

• Different processes studied and evaluated:• Heavyweight:

• Waterfall• Unified process• Spiral

• Lightweight (AGILE): • Extreme programming• Scrum

• Conclusions:• Best choice: AGILE (but not enough)• Too many development teams• Mix waterfall and Agile


Integration StrategyWaterfall + agile like approach• 3 major loops of integration and lab validation• 4 minor loops of iterative evolution• Bug fixing and integration at high frequency• Parallel support for real use case pilots
