Deliverables

Documents, reports (5)

B4CM deployed proof-of-concept: Technical report detailing the software produced, how it is applied in an industrial context, and presenting a case study of its use as a demonstration of applicability of the framework within the European rail sector.

Drawing together the elements of D11 and D21 in the context of a demonstrated case study this technical report will report on the proofofconcept demonstration of the B4CM framework developed during the project

B4CM software framework: An implemented software framework and supporting documentation for the monitoring of data exchanges and attribution of associated costs in industrial RCM systems.

This deliverable will comprise of the fullycommented code of the software framework instructions for deployment and documentation with associated UML diagrams enabling the usage extension and maintenance of a deployed system in the context for which it was developed Code will be made available via a suitable software repository enabling the versioning to be correctly understood should future development take place

Project Plan

A detailed project plan document, formalising the detailed steps to be taken in the delivery of the work.

B4CM commercial arrangements: Technical report detailing how business-specific requirements / arrangements can be captured in smart contracts and deployed within the framework.

This deliverable will be a technical report outlining the process by which business contractual exchanges may be captured via activity diagrams and translated into smart contracts for use within the framework along with the results of the micropayment models proposed for use in remuneration

Final report

A final report summarising the findings of the project the key deliverables and where supporting resources may be found
