The activity started with a meeting to define the client’s needs, gather information and identify areas of interest for focused research. In this initial phase, efforts were made to outline the technological context using both databases for searching technical-scientific articles and available online sources. A presentation was then prepared, including use cases, key players and collected results.
Based on client feedback, the presentation was further refined: the research was more specifically focused on particular themes, additional use cases were included and key players were grouped based on the application domain.
