  12. Training demos Training on ETICS SystemTools and instruments • Training Plan : • Type of training • Potential training targets • Forms of training • Channels • Material • Training Material revised and updated NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  13. Training on ETICS SystemEvents • 2 Induction Training courses for new users at FZJ, SZTAKI, VEGA, INFN • 3 Standard Training courses for UNICORE and ARC developers and OGF25/EGEE User Forum attendees • 1 Advanced Training course for gLite developers • Tutorial of ETICS at BalticGrid Summer School (July 2009) NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  14. OGF23 A-QCMFeedback and improvements • Grid-QCM becomes A-QCM (Automated Quality Certification Model) • Collected feedback from internationally recognised experts • Conferences • Experts • Alain Abran – Software Metrics expert - Professor - Department of Software Engineering & I.T. • Günter Glöe – Certification Expert - TÜV NORD • Kazuhiro Esaki – Industrial Expert - EBARA Corporation • Validation and refinement • Improvements to the Coding Style module according to feedback received NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  15. A-QCM Other activities • New collaborations • STAR-LAB project run by the University of Genoa in Italy • CTI (Centro de Tecnologia da Informação Renato Archer)an organisation working in the domain of product quality evaluation • Design for the A-QCM report generator interface • Mapping of ETICS guidelines and processes to established standards (ISO/IEC-12207 Software Lifecycle Processes) • Analysis of other products/services on the market related to quality verification NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  16. Long-term sustainability strategiesExploitable knowledge and its market • Revision and update of exploitable knowledge • ETICS System for building and testing software • Quality Certification Service • Identifcation of the potential target market and motivations • EU and national research projects. • Large software companies • Large research centres • SME associations • Competitors analysis NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  17. Long-term sustainability strategiesETICS Offer • Identification of a set of potential services • Installation and setting up of the ETICS system • Hosting of the ETICS System • Hosting of ETICS core infrastructure • Quality Certification Service • Testing Services • Support Services • Training • Identification of a possible revenue mechanism NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  18. Long-term sustainability strategiesScenarios andthe business model • Discussion on possible sustainability scenarios • ETICS after ETICS 2 “commercial entity” • Merge with other consortia or activities • More focused public funded projects • Chosen a Business Model template NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  21. Metrics and StatisticsMilestones NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  22. Metrics and StatisticsYear one quality metrics 1/2 NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  23. Metrics and StatisticsYear one quality metrics 2/2 NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  24. Metrics and StatisticsHighlights • 6 new projects registered in the ETICS System • Approached by several software professional interested in ETICS • BalticGrid for the organisation of a tutorial • Cosmic Blue Team for organisation of a demo • ARC for more information on A-QCM • Around 700 accesses/month to the project web site • 6 well attended training events organised • 5 events organised by ETICS team to interested others (2 had been planned) NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification Brussels, 3 April 2009 24

  25. NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification Challenges

  26. Challenges and issues • Dissemination – no particular challenges need to be reported • Training - development of the training material took longer than expected due to difficulties in recruiting suitable personnel • Trial certifications: the late implementation of the needed A-QCM components implied postponing the start of the trial certifications • Commercial applications requirements: the analysis of the specific requirements highlighted differences in priorities of research and commercial users. NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  27. NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification Future Plans

  28. Future Plans • Dissemination towards markets not necessarily Grid related • Hannover Messe on 20-24 April (http://www.hannovermesse.de/homepage_e) • Service Wave 2009 • ICCSEA 2009 • A-QCM • Improvement and validation through feedback from experts and users • Start activities for presentation to ISO for standardisation • Organisation oftargeted workshops for identified potential users • Consolidation of the sustainability strategy NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification

  29. NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification Conclusions

  30. Conclusions • A-QCM • Implementation well under way • M18 trial certification • Feedback and improvements • Dissemination • Participation to various events • New liaisons created • Sustainability strategies • Analysis of ETICS and its market • Discussing Business Model options • Training • New training material available • Trained 68 new developers NA2 - Dissemination, Training and Certification
