== Building Block Assessment - 2nd Phase ==
 +
The second phase of the assessment of the architecture building blocks (BBs) used in the DE4A project comes after the cataloging of an initial set of relevant BBs for the Project Start Architecture (PSA). While in the previous phase the BBs were assessed for their technical, administrative and operational maturity, in this phase a more constrained set of BBs actually implemented by the pilots was evaluated from a wider perspective.

=== Why ===
+
== Methodology ==
−
Learn from DE4A real world experience applying BBs.
+
The methodology for evaluation was designed following general systemic principles, with a set of indicators including: usability, openness, maturity, interoperability, etc. The identification of the evaluation criteria and the analysis of the results have been approached from several perspectives: literature survey and thorough desktop research; revision and fine-tuning of the initial BB set and evaluation methodology, and an online questionnaire designed for gathering feedback by the relevant project partners:
  
−
=== Who ===
+
-      Member States (MSs)
−
People participating in the BB assessment:
 
−
* WP leaders/task leaders
 
−
* Pilot leaders/architects
 
−
* Domain experts in the different WPs
 
  
−
=== What ===
+
-      WP4 partners - Pilots (Doing Business Abroad - DBA, Moving Abroad - MA, and Studying Abroad - SA)
−
Assess the Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) used in DE4A Pilots.
 
  
−
Also includes 2nd iteration Pilots.
+
-      WP5 partners - for specific components
  
−
Also include new "BBs" like Connector, mockDE/DO, playground, others TBD?
 
  
−
Take the list of BBs from the first preliminary assessment.
+
To revise and fine-tune the evaluation methodology developed in the first phase, as well as the set of BBs selected for assessment as a result, several meetings and consultations were held with the aforementioned project partners. This led to a narrower set of relevant BBs consisting of a subset of the ones assessed in the first phase, and news ones resulting from the piloting needs and implementation. To capture these specificities, a wide set of questions from the survey capture all aspects important for the decisions made and for future reuse. Several iterations over the initial set of questions were performed, determining the relevance according to the roles of the project partners that provided feedback. Finally, a process of feedback coordination was also determined for the pilot leaders, who gathered additional information by the pilot partners’ implementation of some of the BBs (or important aspects of them).
  
−
Select only those BBs that where used in DE4A.
+
It is important to note that the division of partners according to their role in the project was done due to the difference in the set of BBs that they had experience with. This implies that not each partner evaluated the whole set of BBs, but only the BBs relevant for their practice and research in the DE4A project.
  
−
Add possible missing BBs, i.e. BBs used by the technical WPs that are not on the list.
+
The final set of relevant BBs per partner type is given in Table 1, together with statistics on the number of assessments obtained for each BB.

Building Block Assessment - 2nd Phase

The second phase of the assessment of the architecture building blocks (BBs) used in the DE4A project comes after the cataloging of an initial set of relevant BBs for the Project Start Architecture (PSA). While in the previous phase the BBs were assessed for their technical, administrative and operational maturity, in this phase a more constrained set of BBs actually implemented by the pilots was evaluated from a wider perspective.

Methodology

The methodology for evaluation was designed following general systemic principles, with a set of indicators including: usability, openness, maturity, interoperability, etc. The identification of the evaluation criteria and the analysis of the results have been approached from several perspectives: literature survey and thorough desktop research; revision and fine-tuning of the initial BB set and evaluation methodology, and an online questionnaire designed for gathering feedback by the relevant project partners:

-      Member States (MSs)

-      WP4 partners - Pilots (Doing Business Abroad - DBA, Moving Abroad - MA, and Studying Abroad - SA)

-      WP5 partners - for specific components


To revise and fine-tune the evaluation methodology developed in the first phase, as well as the set of BBs selected for assessment as a result, several meetings and consultations were held with the aforementioned project partners. This led to a narrower set of relevant BBs consisting of a subset of the ones assessed in the first phase, and news ones resulting from the piloting needs and implementation. To capture these specificities, a wide set of questions from the survey capture all aspects important for the decisions made and for future reuse. Several iterations over the initial set of questions were performed, determining the relevance according to the roles of the project partners that provided feedback. Finally, a process of feedback coordination was also determined for the pilot leaders, who gathered additional information by the pilot partners’ implementation of some of the BBs (or important aspects of them).

It is important to note that the division of partners according to their role in the project was done due to the difference in the set of BBs that they had experience with. This implies that not each partner evaluated the whole set of BBs, but only the BBs relevant for their practice and research in the DE4A project.

The final set of relevant BBs per partner type is given in Table 1, together with statistics on the number of assessments obtained for each BB.
