"In the first project year has been completed activities related to:
WP1 State of the art of Cyber-Physical Systems in Manufacturing, specifically a two folds activity took place, first, an analysis of existing references in previous projects and initiatives, second a collection of knowledge from experts and stakeholders. That contributed to definition of stae of the art associated with a first segmentation (6 clusters) areas of potential impact and research.
WP2 Vision for the role of Cyber-Physical Systems in manufacturing, we executed Gap Analysis and Vision definition, that lead to the definition of the first version of the vision to be validated in defined (see T4.1) workshops.
WP4 Communication, Dissemination and Community building, first of all the communication material (presentations and flyer) was prepared; to such material in M13 a whitepaper with the vision will be also mada available. The web site was set up. The Dissemination Plan (D4.1) was released to the EC identifyng key events to disseminate sCorPiuS results and to create an experts' network to generate consensus and discussion around CPS in Manufacturing
In the second year the following activities took place:
WP2 Finalization of the vision and its validation in dedicated events
WP3 Definition and finalization of Research Roadmap
WP4 A comprehensive set of dissemination activities aiming to validation and dissemination
""D3.3 Final Roadmap whitepaper"" was the key project deliverable aiming to support the creation of a research and work agenda for CPS adoption in Manufacturing Sector.
Concepts and actions proposed were defined keeping, first of all, into account the voice of manufacturing stakeholders and experts. That allowed to address not just technical aspects in Smart Technology research agenda, but allowed to address general issues (e.g. Financial, social, etc.) that could prevent CPS broad adoption or creation of obstacles."
