Tasks Details


Task 6.1

Definition of the integration steps• Leader: Graphitech• Participants: KESLA, MHG, FLY, ITENE

Objectives• Develop the integration steps• Develop validation concepts

• Functionalities• Communication


How to achieve these objectives?

1. System Architecture Analysis (from T.1.1)• Component Diagram

2. Use case / general process Analysis (from T.1.5)• Functional Requirements (execute A, execute B, etc.)• Non-functional reqirements (speed, reliability, etc.)



3. Enumerate all needed software components, hardware, tools etc.• Forest model• Mesurement systems• 3D Model Visualisation Software • Other Software

4. Identify and verify connection between components5. Plan how to connect between

1. Forest Model with Harvesting2. Forest Model & Harvesting with Forest Management



6. For each integration step between two or more subsystems1. For each identified interaction between subsystems components:

1. Describe the interaction2. Describe the expected result3. Define importance level (i.e. low, medium, high)

2. Define minimum threshold to be achieved

Risks

• Data Formats• DB Model• Reduce Harmonization/adaptation• Images

• Unreliable Services• Hardware interfaces with software

• Rfid• BT

• Unability to reproduce plannedtest field/conditions

• Component testing takes time!


Mitigating Actions

• Exhaustive System Architecture• Exhaustive requirement analysis• Common data model (T.1.4)• Communication

• Skype (Small Group, no desktop sharing)• Webex (up to 25 persons with desktop sharing)
