Gap Analysis activitiesResearch Gap

A research gap is a fundamental absence of knowledge.

Technology Gap

A technology gap is an absence of technology or the integration of technologies.

Research results are available (i.e. from IST projects), but has not yet been manifested in products.

Standards Gap

A standards gap is the absence of Standard components , concepts/infrastructure, process, …

Roadmapping

Whilst gap analysis identifies missing research, technology, and standards, the process of creating a roadmap is concerned with actions to close the gap. Generally, this process of creating a roadmap is called roadmapping. Roadmapping was originally developed to help organizations anticipate and clarify resource and performance requirements and to plan and systematically manage and integrate complex projects. Currently roadmapping is used within organizations to facilitate technology planning and communication.

Roadmapping logic 

Have Want Interpretation

1 1 What can be done with existing RTS[1] to achieve a particular goal

1 0 What should be avoided to do with existing RTS

0 1 A particular goal should be achieved, but there is insufficient RTS

0 0 What should be avoided to do and there should be no activity to develop RTS

[1] RTS = Research, Technology, Standards

Next steps Finish Landscape documents for Business, Telecom and COTS

– by Mid-May, 2003 Analyse differences/similarities between the domains/sectors –

horizontal versus vertical structuring of topics/issues Initiate Landscape documents for new important domains:

Embedded (Aerospace, Automotive, Command and Control, Process Control), – Identify new associate partners/contributors

Write up benefits/experiences of the use of CBSE – not only inhibitors – Marketing the vision of CBSE +(CBSE-based Services/MDA)

Further population of CBSE portal, - in particular the results of IST project research item analysis
