1 INTRODUCTION The aim of this document is to compile all the dissemination matters in NEXOF-RA. Thus it includes the plan that NEXOF-RA defined to ensure an effective and efficient dissemination. The scope of this deliverable considers all aspects to develop a successful dissemination while referring the reader to concurrent deliverables for further elaboration on specific dissemination activities within NEXOF-RA (for specific collaboration activities see the Collaboration Report, D11.3d).�

Besides the executive summary, this Dissemination Report is organized as follows:

• Chapter 1 provides an introduction that gives the document outline.

• Chapter 2 outlines what the NEXOF-RA project is and objectives in order to understand the message launched by NEXOF-RA.

• Chapter 3 analyses the various target audiences towards whom the project’s dissemination effort is geared.

• Chapter 4 comprises the dissemination strategy that highlights the strategic areas of dissemination according to each audience.

• Chapter 5 collects the dissemination methodology.

• Chapter 6 presents the dissemination channels to be used by NEXOF-RA that consists of participation to events and conferences, relevant academic publications, the web-site and the press released produced by the NEXOF-RA consortium.

• Chapter 7 points out the dissemination tools that comprise the publicity material to be used for NEXOF-RA dissemination purpose.

• Chapter 8 contains main critical success factors to be successful with the dissemination of the NEXOF-RA project.

• Chapter 9 includes the conclusion which summarizes the points addressed on the document and the dissemination assessments.

• Chapter 10 consists of three annexes that give additional valuable information concerning main past events attended by NEXOF-RA, academic publications done and networking activities carried out to date.


2 DISSEMINATION OBJECT The dissemination plan and actions collected in this document have NEXOF-RA project as object of dissemination.

The overall ambition of NEXOF-RA is to deliver a Reference Architecture for building service-based platforms in Europe, leveraging research in the area of service-based systems to consolidate and trigger innovation in service-oriented economies.

The NEXOF-RA real benefit is to increase the enterprise competitiveness by enabling an open market in the SaaS arena.

In particular the scope of NEXOF-RA is to deliver:

• The NEXOF Reference Architecture. Following an Open Architecture Specification Process which allows contributions from many sources also outside NEXOF-RA.

• A Proof-of-Concept. This is a set of software artefacts to validate the key architectural choices made.

• The NEXOF Roadmap. This defines the roadmap for the implementation and adoption of the whole of NEXOF. The NEXOF Roadmap could be an instrument of exploitation for all the NESSI Strategic Projects and other possible contributing initiatives.

• The NEXOF-RA Repository. An online web repository of key project results where the interested audience may download the key elements of the proposed Reference Architecture.


3 TARGET AUDIENCE The main target audiences to disseminate the NEXOF-RA project results have been identified. We have distinguished between a primary and secondary audience as follows:

3.1 Primary Audience Main outcomes of NEXOF-RA are user oriented. In this sense, main three target audience have been identified: Industry, Public Sector and the Scientific Communities (Universities, Research centres). A brief description about how these audiences will benefit from the NEXOF-RA results is mentioned hereafter:

• Industry (Represented by large companies and SMEs): In what the SME’s is concerned, SME’s can benefit from NEXOF-RA as follows:

• Efficiency through flexibility

• interoperability and quality

• mastering complex systems

• developing novel technologies

• and fostering citizen related parameters.

SMEs of different shapes and sizes can benefit from much of this but it is first pertinent to provide at least a top level SME breakdown to see where the real target of NEXOF is SMEs and how each category can benefit from it. SME classification can be according to many ontologies but of pertinence to the NEXOF focus is one by size and types as opposed to a depth of industry class or geography for instance since NEXOF is no geography or sector focused. Thus SME categorisation for NEXOF purposes is as follows which is then illustrated with some examples.

In what the size is concerned: Micro (1-10 people), Small (10-100) and Medium (100-250) SMEs are distinguished.

The SMEs types are listed hereafter:

• ICT SME: An SME using ICT technologies at the core of their operations. Typically a software development organisation, solution provider, ICT consultant and similar.

• User SME (Technology): An organisation who focuses on high technology but that which is not in the ICT field. Due to the nature of their industry, typically are likely to utilise ICT either operationally or within a product to maximise its strength.

• User SME (Non Technology): An organisation who has a non ICT technology focus and where ICT has a limited use in their sector or which is peripheral to their business. Typically this covers more traditional types and sectors of business.

Following table shows the SMEs classification summary:


Size/Type ICT SME User SME

(Technology)

User SME

(Non Technology)

Micro (1-10)

• ICT Consultant • None • Small Shops etc

• Trades People

Small (10-100

• Niche, Aspiring development copy

• University Spin Off

• Tech Company – products with embedded s/w

• Factories

• Offices

• Shops

Medium (100-250)

• Established ICT company

• Solution Provider

• Tech Company – products with embedded s/w

• Factories

• Offices

• Chain Stores

The following table shows the intentions of NEXOF-RA in regards to the every type of SME:

Size/Type ICT SME User (Hi Tech) SME

(Technology)

User SME

(Non Technology)

Micro (1-10)

• Awareness [Special case]

• Bespoke developers

• Out of Scope • Out of Scope

Small (10-100

• Efficientising

• Mastering complex systems

• Developing novel technologies (Non ICT)

• Out of Scope

Medium (100-250)

• Efficientising


• Developing novel technologies (ICT related)

• Efficientising


• Developing novel technologies (Non ICT)

• Efficientising

(Outsourced)

The largest target markets for NEXOF-RA in the SME sector are small-medium enterprises which have either ICT or a high tech focus. Of these, pure ICT companies are undoubtedly the largest target since their core business revolves around software and services whereas for non-ICT companies it is a supporting activity. However, Micro SMEs are largely outside of scope since they are focused on their core technology (ICT or non ICT) rather than evaluating and using larger frameworks although for consultants there is some logic of them having NEXOF-RA knowledge as part of their consultants arsenal although since awareness is rather vague and pervasive it is not addressed here.

In terms of the efficientsing (ie reuse) of NEXOF-RA, this is of top priority to ICT SME companies coupled with mastering complex systems which can be considered as a wider and more complete deployment of initial technology use. For medium sized SMEs it is also feasible that some may also be proactive in developing/promoting new ICT technologies although in the main this is main performed by larger companies who have the resources for dedicated labs etc.


For non ICT hi=tech companies similar arguments to efficiency and complex systems apply but introduced is the use of an architecture to be a facilitator of foundation for their own environment and development. Thus considering these 4 components of the grid the most-to-low target market for NEXOF-RA is:

• Intention: Efficientising � Complex Systems �Developing Technologies

• Audience: Medium ICT � Small ICT � Medium Hi Tech SME � Smell Hi Tech SME

In terms of each of these areas the SME benefit is perceived to be the following with no noticeable factors relevant between the size and type of organisations:

• From Many to One Architecture (less noise and reduce knowledge gathering)

• Selection of de facto (market adopted) technologies

• Standardization Potential (level playing field and limited lock-in)

• Adoption of large player – limited lock in (shared technology)

• Existing conformant components (facilitated development)

• Market tools available (facilitated development)

• Customer acceptance (everyone is using it)

• Likelihood (hi chance of market adoption)

• Integration / Interoperability efficiency (with other partners tools, components etc)

Next table shows the benefits for SMEs respect to the market analysis: Benefits

Thus in terms of these SME categorisations the above grid suggests that there is not a significant difference between the applications of the technology, the


type of SME in these sub categorisations and the benefits received. Similarly the types of dissemination that should be targeted to these parties will be similar and there is, in general, no one ’killer-benefit’ but a grouping of holistic advantages which they can all benefit from.

Besides SMEs, Industry is also represented by large companies. In this sense, main benefits for large companies on the adoption of NEXOF Reference Architecture can be summarized as follows:

• Need an overarching architecture strategy to accommodate:

• Cross domain, business size and technology aspects.

• Provide the basis for making incremental specific design decisions and product choices later on in the system building process.

• System level solutions for a shared environment: frame choices to ensure integrated, consistent and coherent concepts.

• A high-level parameterized (i.e. based on reference properties).Framework for a system that defines its overall target structure (components and relationships among them) in a systematic consistent manner.

• Public Sector: NEXOF-RA provides the Public services with efficient services and software infrastructures to improve flexibility, interoperability and quality. One of the main challenges of the Public Sector is to face the interoperability between different administrations in particular for what concerns processes which require different public functions to cooperate. It is often the case that a single request of a citizen requires involves different administrations to operate. Many efforts have already put in place in order to standardize data format for an efficient exchange of information, but automates such exchange requires interoperability also at the level of the IT support to the various functions. With respect the fully adoption of SOA is widely accepted as a key approach. Nevertheless the Public Sector is not homogeneous for what concerns size, domain and responsibilities. In this respect the approach of NEXOF-RA to build a reference architecture based on the "Independence Principle" could represent a success factor allowing specific instances of ICT service-based systems to build in agreement with the peculiarity of each administration.

• The Scientific /Research Communities: According to the domain diversity of NEXOF-RA a large number of research communities can benefit from the NEXOF-RA intentions and results in different ways, including the traditional research activities as well as experimental, industry-oriented approaches.

Due to the integration-nature of NEXOF-RA the developed framework provides the foundation to align and improve future research activities in the service engineering and SOA field within Europe. On the one hand it can be used to structure future research activities such as foundational research and industry-oriented research with practical impact and on the other hand it can be used for the integration of existing research results into the NEXOF-RA framework. Thereby, NEXOF-RA might also reveal gaps in existing research results including both foundational and advanced topics and this


fostering an effective alignment and collaboration of further research activities.

Furthermore, it supports the challenging aim to perform transdisciplinary research across different subject fields such as computer science, business engineering, and economics which are in the scope of service-oriented architectures. Moreover, it allows the exploitation of synergy effects between the results of the different fields.

This as well as the SotP-characteristics of NEXOF-RA, the fact that the results will be established within the European ICT community as well as the large SOA community will foster the improvement of the research results of academia and research institutes. Additionally, due to the open character of NEXOF-RA, future research activities will advance the Reference Architecture allowing integrating future trends in the SotA as well as the SotP fostering the improvement of NEXOF Reference Architecture. This in turn allows NEXOF-RA to be used as long-lasting research framework.

Last but not the least mentions here the sustainability management as ‘life’ after the project or medium-long-term vision of the project goals and its implications with the project partners.

3.2 Secondary audience EU funded projects: The collaboration with other EU funded projects has been a major target of the communication and dissemination of NEXOF-RA in order to strength links aimed at exploiting synergies and allowing join efforts for dissemination purpose. A number of projects have already been contacted through common participation to the NEXOF-RA project at technical and dissemination level. Further detailed information is collected in the D11.3d Collaboration Report deliverable.

Project partners: Academia, SMEs and Industrial partners are also target audience in terms of needing information about the project results and progress. Industrial partner such as BT, TID, Thales, HP, Atos Origin or ENG, as well as Academia and SMEs represents user’s communities. Furthermore, they have many opportunities to disseminate NEXOF-RA. Furthermore, the experience and previous background of partners such as Thales, ENG, TIE, TID, HP or Atos Origin in other related projects, played a key role for the dissemination of NEXOF-RA.


4 DISSEMINATION STRATEGY A coordinated dissemination strategy is required in order to maximise the impact of the project. Although a number of dissemination activities have been already done during the project it is anticipated that also dissemination tasks will occur after the project finish within the sustainability plan. For more information please check the deliverable D11.3d (Sustainability of Collaboration chapter).

All project partners contributed to the dissemination activities by producing documents and participating to events or conferences for the NEXOF-RA awareness or by providing source material for mass media. In this context, NEXOF-RA has defined, next internal dissemination rules in order to achieve an effective dissemination of the project:

• To manage the list of the events and publications.

• To coordinate the communication through the different dissemination channels.

• To revise the papers created internally.

• To support the consortium in the web site and repository use.

• To collect the dissemination activities from the consortium.

• To link NEXOF-RA dissemination strategy to NESSI strategy. We have been working in close cooperation with NESSI Communication board in order to follow the NESSI Communication Strategy and taking advantage of the NESSI audience and means.

• To contact industrial communities on services domain for reinforcing the impact of NEXOF-RA beyond the R&D community.

This dissemination strategy addresses not only to ensure the awareness of the NEXOF-RA outcomes by using different channels and tools, but also the creation of links between NEXOF-RA and main intended communities that will apply the project’s results and a further collaboration with other NEXOF-RA related projects. In this context, we have identified in the following table, the strategic areas of dissemination corresponding to the categories of the target audience considered in chapter 3:


Intended

community

Strategic area of dissemination Channel

Research Community

The objective is to make known the technical results of the project within the traditional research forums.

Dissemination to peers in research by publications in technical journals and magazines, participation and organisation of international conferences as well as presentation of seminars and tutorials within the research community

Industry

-Large companies

-SMEs

Public Sector

Within this context the aim is to promote the technical achievements of the NEXOF-RA consortium to the Industry in order to influence the market sector and develop collaborations for future exploitation and use of the results.

Dissemination to other industrial and commercial organisations by attending trade-fairs, major vendor events and demonstrations given to external organisations

EU funded projects

Within this context the

aim is to share technical results (even at a partial stage) with other FP7 projects in order to allow these projects to leverage the efforts of the NEXOF-RA consortium and to enable the use of successful results from other projects within NEXOF-RA .

Dissemination to liaison activities by establishing on-going links for sharing information between the projects, through clustering and the concertation meetings with other related projects


5 DISSEMINATION METHODOLOGY The methodology to follow for disseminating NEXOF-RA results has been built under the following four dimensions:

• Visibility: Public articles various media platforms should provide progressive reports on NEXOF-RA research; news related to the project should be broadcasted among several targeted communities in order to promote the awareness of the project successes. NEXOF-RA has tried to improve the visibility and exposure of project results via NEXOF-RA presentations, participation in workshops, sponsorship of related activities, organisation of conferences and workshops, and moderation of discussions forums and blogs.

• Quality: Significant effort has been invested in surveying potential high calibre academic and industrial conferences, journals, and scientific media channels. High paper acceptance rates, respectable white papers and journal publications, and influential presence at important symposiums and assemblies evidence the high quality research results of NEXOF-RA.

• Adoption: The most important aspect of the NEXOF-RA dissemination methodology is promoting the adoption of the NEXOF Reference Architecture developed by all consortium members allocate resources towards encouraging members of related communities to strength links with tools and methodologies developed in NEXOF-RA. In this sense, in particular section 6.1 compiles a list of potential events where NEXOF-RA should participate in order to allow the consortium members to promote the NEXOF-RA results.

• Sustainability: Foreseen actions for supporting the sustainability of NEXOF-RA after the end of the project. This includes maintenance of NEXOF-RA repository, finalization of open calls for contributing with PoCs, keeping the liaison with NESSI and Future Internet Assembly and increasing the relation with industrial communities. The NEXOF Roadmap is working on this aspect, but also in the D11.3d Collaboration Report a chapter has been included for describing the future plan for sustaining the collaboration between NEXOF and other projects.


6 DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES In order to fulfill the dissemination objectives, this section provides details on the dissemination channels to be used to spread the visibility of the NEXOF-RA project among the intended communities mentioned above.

6.1 Conferences and Events Public external events refer to conferences, seminars, workshops and exhibitions in terms of giving talks and submitting to the mayor worldwide conferences. Annex 1 collects all the events attended by NEXOF RA from the start date of the project to now.

7 DISSEMINATION TOOLS To ensure the timely awareness and dissemination of the NEXOF-RA results in Europe, a number of the dissemination tools have been identified, addressing the target audience mentioned in section.3, these comprise:

• The project logo

• The website

• The brochure

• The slide –based presentation

• The fact –sheet

• The poster

They are fully described in deliverable D11.2h Dissemination Means.


8 CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS In order to be successful with dissemination of the NEXOF-RA project, a number of factors need to be addressed:

• Familiarize: It is vital that all NEXOF-RA partners familiarise themselves with the Dissemination Activity If we are not working in the same direction, dissemination may fail.

• Communicate within NEXOF-RA: For a project of this size and geographic spread it is vital that NEXOF-RA partners keep talking to each other. The use of the mail is vital to keep in touch.

• Resources: It is not always feasible to do everything we would like to do (or indeed are asked to do by those involved in other activities).

• Success of other part of the projects: For sure, NEXOF -RA can only disseminate information that is relevant, timely and progressive so are at the mercy of other activities to make progress in their own areas.

In order to measure the impact of NEXOF-RA dissemination, several indicators can be considered:

- Number of references and links to NEXOF-RA web site or project at Internet

- Statistics on web site visits and downloads

- Number of attended events (conferences, workshops, panels, etc)

- Number of dissemination material produced (brochures, fact-sheets, posters, etc)

- Number of papers produced (for publications, for events, for conferences)

- Number of references in press (written or online)

- Number of contributions received through the web site or at events to NEXOF-RA results.


9 CONCLUSIONS AND ASSESSMENTS This deliverable has summarized the dissemination plan and report for the NEXOF-RA project from M1 to M28. It has addressed main activities and tools in order to reinforce the awareness of the project by the among market target.

In order to give a measure of the dissemination assessments, we have produced the following accumulative table where all the dissemination activities along the project have been counted:

2008 2009 2010 Total

Events presence 16 8 1 25

Networking events 9 7 1 17

Publications 7 20 8 35

Press and media 4 1 5

Newsletter presence 2 3 2 7

Posters 1 1 2

Fact-sheet 1 1

Brochure 1 1

The table shows a decrease in events presence, although we must consider that the 2008 events were just attended but 2009 and 2010 events have been also organized by project’s partners. On the other hand, the publications of papers have been increased in 2009 (consider the project only covers half of 2010). It is also valuable that we have maintained an average of 7 networking activities with other strategic projects.

Other interesting information to measure the awareness of the project is the web site statistics. It can be consulted at http://arroyito.atosorigin.es/awstats/awstats.pl?config=www.nexof-ra.eu

From them we can summarize the following conclusions:

- The visits significantly increments from 9.748 in 2008 to 31.995 in 2009 and 14.254 until may 2010

- The 25% of visits remains at the web site more that 30sec. Considering the average number of visits this represents a high number of people reading the web content because of interest.

- Mainly the redirection links come from searchers followed by Cordis, SLA@SOI, NESSI and Compas web pages which means that the sustainability management proposed may be efficient by being based in the NESSI Community and cross-dissemination activities

- Clue words used in searching was besides the name of the project was: assessment criteria, open service platform, multi level security, SOA, infrastructure services definition revealing preoccupations for SOA


architecture and open source practices, services which are some of the purposes of NEXOF-RA and its NSPs projects.

Finally in regards to the contributions received through the web site, we can consider the both Invitations to Contribute a success of participation with 300 registered people in total for two calls and 134 position papers received. In this sense, the web site has been a very useful instrument for awareness of the calls and management of the contributions.

Further dissemination activities are also planned in next future after the project end. These are detailed in D11.3d Collaboration Report, section 5 Sustainability of Collaboration. The goal of these future dissemination activities is to the continuation of the collaboration with other projects and initiatives, ensuring the adoption and reuse of NEXOF-RA results.
