D5.3 Pilot implementations and testing plans V2

Three industry partners (Proximus, Refinitiv and Deutsche Telekom) describe their pilots and testing plans for components, tools and concepts developed in SPECIAL by the consortium. The pilots and implementation plans are based on previous documents/deliverables (namely D5.1 and as well as D5.2, D1.1, D1.2, D1.3, D1.4 and subsequently D2.4, D3.2 and D3.3).

This document was designed for “staging”, i.e. it will be reworked on a regular basis. The present version “Deliverable 5.3 V2” is the second iteration and includes implementation plans, first results of the (already implemented) pilots and the test plans. A final iteration of the document (V3) will be found in D5.5. Due to the different objectives and types of implementation, the industry partners were assigned one chapter each. These chapters may be read relatively independently of each other. However they all have certain aims and findings in common. These are collected in the overarching chapters 2 and 6.

Since this is “V2”, neither a profound summary nor ultimate conclusions can be expected. The reader is kindly asked to take advantage of the current (mature but still preliminary) state of findings and wait for the subsequent final version of the deliverable (D5.5) for deeper insights.

The present document aims at giving the reader a comprehensive view into the current state of implementation of the pilots, testing plans and already achieved as well as expected findings.
