PIMRC 2007 – H. Stellakis’s Paper

1

Abstract — A procedure and a tool for certifying the proper

implementation of broadband wireless network projects is

presented and analyzed. The proposed method establishes the

appropriate business rules to (a) guarantee that the underlying

project has been implemented based on the well-defined

guidelines, such as those usually applied to projects co-funded by

the European Union 3rd Community Support Framework and (b)

maximize the amount of funding given to the project owner/

Beneficiary of the Funding Action. The proposed tool provides an

integrated workflow mechanism that supports a simple,

straightforward and automated auditing process, thus facilitating

the successful implementation of the project and the

accomplishment of the Operational Program «Information

Society» strategic goals.
