All proposals will be ranked based on general criteria: • Excellence • Impact • Implementation Those general criteria are further elaborated in Table 1. Excellence Impact Implementation Criteria Technical and Innovation Merit Contribution to the creation of a SoftFIRE-based Ecosystem Business Impact and considerations Practical Feasibility on SoftFIRE testbeds Technical Soundness Weight 0,35 0,15 0,20 0,30 P r o p e r t i e s Relevance of the proposal for SoftFire federated testbeds Potential to increase knowledge at the European level and differentiate the proposition Desirability/need of the proposed service/function and market perspective Implementability on the SoftFIRE infrastructure Clarity and quality of the proposal Appropriateness of technical and methodological approach (interoperability, programmability and security) Clarity and Quality of the Technological benefits for an European Ecosystem Alignement of the Project with respect to SoftFIRE constraints Quality of the proposing group Originality and innovative value of the proposed features/tests and their relation to the status of the art Contribution to standards or open interfaces Quality of the workplan Potential of exploitaiton/inclusio n in SoftFire of [proposed functionalities and features (including legal/admin aspects)] Quality of the team The proposals submitted by parties who have not yet been or are not participating in FIRE- projects or Open Calls from FIRE-projects will receive an extra “1” point on top of the criteria “Contribution to the creation of a SoftFIRE- based Ecosystem”. This measure is introduced to positively discriminate such new players and open the SoftFIRE federated testbed to a wider community. Based on the received scores, proposals will be ranked and shortlisted. Shortlisted proposals will be invited to negotiate the final terms of the agreement, including the workplan, budget and relevant results/achievements.
