Executive Summary

The objective of WP9 ‘Employability and Healthcare Demonstrators’ is to prove the generic applicablity of the TAS³ trust infrastructure for exchanging and managing personal information in different domains, in particular in the areas of employability and healthcare. The first iteration of ‘D9.1 - Pilots Specifications and Use Case Scenarios’ focused on describing the use case scenarios for the TAS³ pilots in the healthcare and employability domains. This second iteration describes two ‘integration trials’ which embody the first practical (i.e. technical) steps towards establishing the TAS³ pilots. Later iterations will document implemented pilot situations in Healthcare, and in UK and NL employability.
TAS³ is a complex environment. Over 50 individual components are currently being defined and are still under active development (i.e. only a limited set of functionality is available to date). The actual pilot applications will rely on many functional aspects and thus a large subset of TAS³ (technical) components. In order to establish the robustness of the TAS³ software, a number of integration trials are planned in which the conditions and story-boards of the pilots are approximated.
Integrating at such an early stage in the development process provides valuable feedback for component developers regarding the quality of their components (e.g. bugs, stability, platform dependence...). In addition, it allows decisions on integration strategy (e.g. interfaces, component division...) to be evaluated at an early stage, keeping the effort required for corrective measures to a minimum. In fact this approach can be considered as an informal form of the continuous integration paradigm.
Integration is being approached from two different angles in WP9: ‘top-down’, meaning that TAS³ components are integrated into an existing system; and ‘bottom-up’, in which a use case scenario is implemented from scratch. The former is being used in the healthcare domain, the latter in the employability domain.
The two working TAS³-enabled systems (integration trials) will be demonstrated during the March 2010 review (i.e. live demonstration of systems). The outcomes of the integration trial will be reported in ‘D9.2 - Pilot evaluation report’.
