S-Cube’s Integrated Research FrameworkMotivation

Problems:

– How to coordinate and align research between members and communities?

– How to make knowledge of different disciplines explicit in order to avoid overlaps (exploit synergies) and to identify gaps

– How to handle complexity (many different solutions, ...)

Solution: S-Cube’s IRF

– Clear separation of concerns:

- Local mechanisms / technologies

- Local principles, techniques and methodsVS.

- Global principles, techniques and methods

– Clearly defined interfaces between the separate concerns
