D2

The main goal of this document is to define, as precisely as possible, the conditions of the four different trials. The users requirements may express some wishes that are not possible to satisfy, taking into account the reality of the existing (or foreseen) network. Furthermore, the platform has to be developed as generic as possible, and some requirements have to be harmonized with their equivalent in the other trials.

So, D2 finalises the user requirements capture and analyses the user desires. Comparison among the different trial sites is performed to check for different approach and opinion among the user communities and smaller groups within the cities. The fact that the four sites are quite spread is very important for compiling a comprehensive picture for the entire Europe.

D2 is based on D1 and on the infrastructure and technology available and/or foreseen per site. In this deliverable the consortium presents and documents the platform (network infrastructure, equipment and service management frameworks) to be used per trial and how the platform infrastructure can support the user desires. Of special mention is also the documentation on the ways to use the platform so as to introduce new services after the normal duration of the project, with emphasis on the high-layer entry points and handles to the functionality substrates.

D2 documents also how each trial infrastructure will support user requirements and what metrics are planned for quality of service measurement and evaluation.
