MultiRATE: EU R&D&I Readiness Level Evaluation Framework
摘要
Plenty of metrics do exist, aiming to evaluate the maturity of products, systems and processes when identifying their deployment readiness. Even though an excessive effort has been made to develop new frameworks as well as update and integrate existing frameworks, calculation methodologies and indicators, it has a limited usage from the EU-funded security R&D&I projects. Thus, the development of a holistic robust scaling framework is of the utmost importance. The MultiRATE scaling framework will rely on the established readiness level approaches (where possible) and introduce new ones where needed. Finally, it will combine them into one holistic and reliable framework, focused on several readiness levels such as technology (TRL), security (SecRL), integration (IRL), commercialization (CRL), manufacturing (MRL), legal, privacy and ethics (LPERL) and societal (SocRL). This chapter provides background information and describes through a simple methodological framework how an EU-funded project or even a technology developer could use the TRL, MRL and CRL in order to evaluate the readiness of the product or system provided in the security R&D&I ecosystem.
