The CASEK project had a lofty goal. CASEK aims to bring advanced methodologies (developed in the parent project, Cassting) for solving societal and business problems to a larger audience of less-specialized developers so that they can use these methodologies to solve real problems and deliver real solutions to a broad audience. These real problems include energy efficiency, to mention one of many. The advanced methodologies have a huge potential to affect positive social change and generate new business opportunities, but they are difficult for non-specialists to understand and use. We need tools to ease that pain, and this is where the CASEK project comes in.
The way that CASEK proposed to reach this lofty goal was the creation of a new software platform, Wappsto, which not only allows developers to create and distribute data-driven web applications with automations, but also to use the advanced methodologies. The objectives achieved in the CASEK project were to solidify a business and marketing plan, to develop a viable Wappsto product, and to engage with and learn from the market in the pursuit of these objectives.
