The DYMASOS Project The well-being of the citizens in Europe depends on the reliable and efficient functioning of large interconnected systems, such as electric power systems, air traffic control, railway systems, large industrial production plants, etc. Such large systems consist of many interacting components. The sub-systems are usually managed locally and independently, according to different policies and priorities. The dynamic interaction of the locally managed components gives rise to complex behaviour and can lead to large-scale disruptions as e.g. black-outs in the electric grid. Large interconnected systems with autonomously acting sub-units are called systems of systems (SoS). DYMASOS addresses systems of systems where the elements of the overall system are coupled by flows of physical quantities, e.g. electric power, steam or hot water, etc. Within the project, new methods for the distributed management of large physically connected systems with local management and global coordination will be developed.

1. Executive Summary/Introduction

The purpose of this deliverable is to provide a complete report of the dissemination strategy and the dissemination activities realized by the DYMASOS partners in the 8 first months of the project.

The deliverable is organized as follows:

Section 2 summarises the dissemination objectives and strategy that was developed for the DYMASOS project in the deliverable D6.1. The dissemination strategy is crucial for better coordination of the dissemination activities of the consortium.

Section 3 describes the dissemination material that has been successfully deployed for the project. A quick description of all materials and the outcomes obtained so far will be provided.

Section 4 focuses on the initial dissemination of the foreground knowledge of the project, more specifically events attended, presentations presented and publications.

The planned dissemination activities are included in section 5, as this section will present the activities that are still to be done in accordance with the development of the project.

Finally, conclusions for this deliverable are drawn in section 6.

This report is based on inputs that will be provided from project partners during the entire project lifetime. The evaluation of dissemination activities performed is based on a number of factors: Web site use and frequentation, impact of press releases, social media activity, scie ntific publications and dissemination and networking with other relevant initiatives.

The communication and dissemination campaign represents one of the key pillars of the DYMASOS project: continuous internal and external information about results achieved is a transversal element that shall be deployed throughout the whole project duration and that shall cover all communities relevant for and possibly interested in the DYMASOS project, both in countries where the consortium partners are operating and on a worldwide level.

It makes use of the EC FP7 projects communication best practices and follows the 6W approach: What, Why, When, hoW, Where and to Whom, that is developed in section 2. In line with this approach, the consortium has defined the responsibilities, the targeted audiences and specific needs, as well as the timing of the project: Responsibilities:

The DYMASOS Work Package 6 (WP6) defines the plans, the roles, and the responsibilities of the partners for the project branding, awareness raising and dissemination activities. The communication and dissemination campaign will be followed during the whole project life cycle.

As for the responsibilities of the partners, inno leads this Work Package and is in charge of the implementation of the communication campaign, including the creation of a visual identity, publicity and promotion material, and set up and regular update of the project website.

All other project partners will be involved in the communication and dissemination activities.

Target Audiences and Specific Needs:

The dissemination plan identifies the following communities as target audience for DYMASOS:

Research communities: From control & systems, advanced computing, simulation tools and advanced network and communication technologies, several research communities are interested in development of SoS and in the research activities of DYMASOS.




Industrial end-users developing and operating physically coupled systems of systems: This audience group is interested in getting feedback on the usability of the DYMASOS research results and their further commercialisation.

General public: The need for this audience group is to raise awareness for the importance of SoS and their proper management, to create an understanding of the benefits of SoS technologies at economic and social levels.

Timing of the project:

The timing of the dissemination activities basically follows a two steps approach. The first step is the elaboration of the dissemination material. This step is almost finalized and fully described in this deliverable. This step is extremely important as it is the most significant milestone to allow the successful dissemination of the project. The material set up will indeed be a vehicle for the distribution of information about the project progress as well as the foreground knowledge.

The second step is the dissemination of the foreground knowledge developed by the project. The aim here is to disseminate the outcomes of the project to the biggest possible part of the target audience defined above. This step will be done through the whole remaining duration of the project and has already started in the past months as the first results of the project have become available. It will continue and be extended as the project progresses.

So far 10 articles have been published or are in preparation, and the DYMASOS project has been presented in 10 events, where publicity material and presentations have been distributed. More specifically: 3 articles have been published in peer reviewed publications, 4 are accepted but not yet published, 1 is submitted, and 2 are planned before the end of the year.

Reporting

To keep up with the dissemination timing, a strict reporting has been set up. The main deliverables linked to this initial report are:

The first report on progress on dissemination plans, including public summary of exploitation activities (D6.7, due in Month 18).

The final report on progress on dissemination plan, including public summary of exploitation activities (D6.9, due in Month 36).

Like the present report, these reports will be based on the inputs from project partners plus the activities of the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) during the project lifetime. Based on the results and the evaluations, an adjustment of the DYMASOS Communication Strategy may be proposed.




2. General Dissemination Strategy and Objectives

This section is a quick reminder about DYMASOS overall objectives and strategy as developed in the DOW and in the communication strategy described in the D6.1.

2.1. Dissemination Objectives

The WP6 description in the DoW states the plans, the roles and responsibilit ies of the partners for the project branding, awareness raising and dissemination activities. The objectives of the DYMASOS Communication Strategy are clearly nominated in Work Package 6 (WP6):

To raise awareness about the project

To promote the project work

To support the project work by obtaining feedback and new input

To ensure a maximum impact of the project results and findings in relevant communities

The following picture presents a high-level overview of the communication strategy of the project:

Figure 1 DYMASOS overall dissemination plan

The communication approach shall reflect and amplify interdisciplinary collaboration on new methods for the distributed management of large systems. Therefore, the expected outcomes are as follows:

Constructive dialogue with relevant research communities and industrial stakeholders, namely on technology gaps in advanced management and coordination methods for SoS, has taken place

Target audiences have been informed on innovation in distributed management methods for complex interconnected systems of systems

Progress in methods for the design, analysis and validation of SoS has been disseminated

The following report will present the dissemination activities undertaken in the first 8 months of the project, and those planned for the months to come to fulfill those objectives.




2.2. Dissemination Strategy

DYMASOS develops new methods for the distributed management of large physically connected systems with distributed autonomous management and global coordination. The research is driven by case studies in electrical grid management and control, including the charging of electric vehicles, and industrial production management.

The need to communicate with the relevant stakeholders and relevant research communities and the need to communicate about the potential impacts have led to the setup of a relevant communication strategy. For the DYMASOS project, the communication strategy of the project follows a 6W approach to ensure that every communication opportunity is adequately exploited by the project. The 6W strategy aims to identify clearly:

Why disseminate: For an efficient communication, the first point to be identified is the objective of the communication.

To Whom: Different communication objectives will have to target different audiences, these different audiences have to be defined.

Disseminate What: Different audiences have different interests and needs and will need to be addressed with different messages.

Disseminate hoW: Different audiences have to be addressed through different channels. To be efficient, the communication has also to be coordinated and monitored.

Disseminate Where: To fully reach its objectives, the project has to disseminate to a broad audience all over Europe and beyond.

Disseminate When: The project communication must both run throughout the duration of the project, with long lasting and scheduled actions and take advantage of opportunities that arise.

Furthermore:

The communication of the project is unified along a common visual identity. A unified and coherent visual chart (colours, fonts, designs) is derived from the project logo and provided in several shapes and formats (document templates, etc.). This visual identity will be used extensively throughout the project, creating a distinguishable brand that will be recognized in the SoS and application domains communities.

All the project partners are deeply involved in the communication and dissemination activities, both in the countries where they are operating and on a worldwide level, as each consortium partner is acting as a member of different networks and special interest groups. Thus, the efficiency of the dissemination campaign will be proportionally increased.

The communication plan that has been detailed in the deliverable D6.1”Communication Strategy and visual design” contains in particular:

The guidelines to be followed for project communication:

o Graphical branding (logo, set of colors to be used)

o Templates to be used (for MS Word reports or MS Powerpoint presentations)

o Communication best practices (how to write a press release, etc.)

The process to be used: Being in line with the IPR rules set in the consortium agreement, this section will remind people about the procedures to be followed for any external dissemination.




The monthly communication plan indicating: Month-by-month actions, the person in charge, the channel to be used, the purpose of the action, the content to be conveyed, the targeted audience, etc.

The present report is the result of the application of this communication strategy over the 8 first months of the project. This first phase has mostly focused on the definition of this strategy and the set-up of the dissemination and communication infrastructure. Now that this infrastructure is operational, it is ready to be applied to the first results of the project.




3. Dissemination Material Generated

3.1. DYMASOS Branding

The DYMASOS branding has been defined in the first three months of the project in order to make the project easily recognisable. It represents the stable visual element for project presentation and promotion. The branding pack prepared by inno and used by the project partners includes:

3.1.1. Project Logo and Visual Identity

The project logo has been designed by a professional designer based on proposals from the partners of the consortium and has been agreed on by the partners. The logo has been designed to be easily recognisable and to be meaningful to technical people, letting the technical concept of the project shine through.

Figure 2 DYMASOS logo

Different versions of the DYMASOS logo have been produced and adapted to different backgrounds and displays (screen, print, black and white). The logo is available both in pixel and vector formats, and is also available for the partners’ use via the project shared platform Alfresco.

3.1.2. Graphical Templates

A set of graphical templates has been designed in order to ensure a professional level of quality in terms of design and presentation in all the project documents and communications.




Figure 3 The standard DYMASOS word template

Figure 4 DYMASOS power point presentation template

3.2. DYMASOS Website

The DYMASOS website has been available since the Month 3, and the deliverable D6.2 “DYMASOS web site” was completed in Month 6. The DYMASOS website represents the first vehicle in raising awareness of the project and contains a general presentation of the project objectives and the consortium as well as all public information related to the project activities, results, events etc. It follows the DYMASOS branding and plays an important role in the information campaign. It has , at the moment, been updated with 7 news and will be updated throughout the project lifetime with the latest results and findings (at least once




per month), as regular updating of the website information is a necessary condition for its effective functioning.

Figure 5 DYMASOS website home page (1)

Figure 6 DYMASOS website home page (2)




Promotion of the DYMASOS project has also been done through other relevant web portals (such as FP7 project CPSOS http://www.cpsos.eu/links/ or on the project partner IDENER’s website: http://wp.idener.es/?portfolio=dymasos) in order to create synergy effects.

The project website addresses all of the targeted audiences of the project (research communities, industrial end-users, and general public). It presents a general introduction to the project and its potential impact in a manner that is also adapted to an unfamiliar audience. More advanced users will find more specific information via regular news of the project and access to the publications, deliverables and events.

What’s more, the website has been designed using responsive web technologies to enable optimum visualization independent of the used device (PC, tablet, and mobile).

The project also set up metrics to monitor the project website traffic and the origin and interest of the website audience: So far 107 persons visited the DYMASOS website, and it has been viewed 2772 times.

Figure 7 DYMASOS website statistics

The data also shows that the website also already attracts some traffic (> 6%) from mobile devices (mobiles and tablets) validating the choice of a responsive design for the website . We expect this share of “mobile” users to rise as the project will get visibility especially in events and conferences.

Although these metrics show that the website audience has been limited so far, we expect a significant rise as soon as project results become available and at the same time as the communication activities increase. These initial metrics will serve as a reference point for future dissemination reports: later on – when there will be more visitors –other data will be provided, such as country of consultation of the web site, etc.

3.3. DYMASOS Project Presentation

Following the DYMASOS branding, a generic DYMASOS presentation has been developed to be used for awareness-raising and information at events and via the partner’s networks. It can be used by all persons involved in the project to disseminate the project objectives, its status and the expected results. It can be easily adapted by partners for specific audiences and updated with new information. It first details the structure of the project in terms of objectives, main results that the project aims to achieve and the tools the project will use.

The presentation aims at attracting the interest of relevant communities and stakeholders.

The generic DYMASOS presentation will be updated every six months to take into account the progress of the project.

3.4. Social Media Communication Strategy

Social media is a good complementary tool to disseminate project results and enter in communication with a community.

Two social media communities have been targeted by the DYMASOS project:

A project1 has been created on the ResearchGate website. This project will be used as an internal collaboration tool but also as a vector for disseminating the research interests and topics of interests of the project to a wider community. The project research partners, already involved in the ResearchGate community, will use this network to disseminate the research results of the project, especially the scientific publications.

Figure 9 DYMASOS project on ResearchGate

A LinkedIn open group2 has been created. The project will use this group to disseminate the project research news, results, potential exploitation opportunities and impact to a large community of both researchers and industrials. Additional publications on LinkedIn groups related to Systems of Systems by the project partners will further contribute to the visibility of t he project.

3.5. Networking with Relevant Communities

In order to increase the efficiency of the project, the activities pursued by DYMASOS need to be synchronised with relevant external initiatives and to be confronted with different stakeholder’s views.

3.5.1. Systems of Systems Research Cluster

The project gathers different approaches (population control, market-based management, coalition forming) and plans to apply novel ideas to SoS.

To obtain feedback and to ensure the liaison between the different communities active in systems of systems, a set of relevant external initiatives shall be created.

The focus will be put on networking with 3 other projects funded under the same call topic (ICT Call 10 on SoS):

AMADEOS

CPSoS

Local4Global

The first accomplished common activity is a joint newsletter, prepared and circulated by the CPSoS project, to which DYMASOS has contributed, by providing information about the project, about several publications and presentations related to the project, upcoming events.... inno has supervised the edition process for DYMASOS.

The newsletter is also available on the project web portal as a downloadable PDF file.

Newsletters require a distribution capacity through an appropriate e-mail distribution list that is today consisting of the CPSoS Working Groups mailing list, the CPSoS Consortium mailing list, the DYMASOS Consortium mailing list, the AMADEOS and Local4Global Consortia via their Project coordinators and last but not least subscribers for the newsletter via the CPSoS web site.

Further main channels for the newsletter distribution are the different Project websites – as downloadable PDF files




3.6. Press Release

A press release has been edited to inform the public about the recent start of the project, to present the challenges that the project addresses and the potential outcome, and to highlight the leadership of Europe and the project partners in the field.

Figure 11 Extracts from the DYMASOS Press release

This press release has been made available on the project website. Partners are expected to circulate the press release via their networks and to invite journalists to participate in project events, seeking the possibility of holding press conferences and/or interviews during these project events. In this case, the press release would be adapted or combined with the use of other project promotional materials such as project leaflets/fact sheets/success stories.

Partners are also encouraged to disseminate this press release in relevant specific scientific journals.

3.7. Publication Repository

In order to promote the scientific advances by the project, a complete publication repository is maintained on the project internal web portal (Alfresco, with restricted access) and on the project website. It will contain:

Conference papers

Presentations

Journal Papers

Patents

etc.

DYMASOS partners are constantly informing the WP6 leader on publications (submitted and accepted) as the WP6 leader will regularly remind the partners to report new publications and will update the repository accordingly. All these contributions will be associated WP/Task in order to make a link with the relevant foreground knowledge.




IMPORTANT NOTE:

Despite the public funding of the project, and the commitment of the DYMASOS partners to the concepts of Open Science, it might not be possible to make all the project scientific papers publicly available within the project time frame. The scientific excellence target of the project wi ll lead some of the publication to be made in journals and conferences that have not yet embraced an Open Science policy and that restrict the dissemination of the project results. In case where, for such copyright reasons, open access is not available , the project will publish:

The abstract of the paper

The list of authors

A link to the paper on the publisher website

When relevant, “early draft” versions of the paper will also be made available on open science repositories (such as arXiv

5. Planned Dissemination Activities

5.1. Other Branding Elements

Based on the project logo, other project branding elements will be developed, including:

Flyers

Roll-up

Posters

Project banner (for event participation)

These branding elements will be developed according to the needs of the future events/public presentations.

5.2. DYMASOS Leaflet

A DYMASOS leaflet will be compiled before the end of June 2014 and will be used to present the project, its goals and the consortium. The project leaflet shall reflect the ideas and planned activities of the project in a first time and might be updated with information about major outcomes and results in a second step.

It shall serve as a calling card for presentation to influential readers – ICT experts, national and local authorities, stakeholders, media representatives, etc.

A leaflet should:

Explain the background for undertaking the initiative

Indicate the targeted results

Provide an overview of the consortium and contacts: names, websites...

5.3. Networking with Relevant Communities

Cluster meetings will be organised. The different scientific communities addressing systems of systems will be monitored to identify other relevant external initiatives. Actions to be taken shall be determined for each identified initiative, and contact points shall be established to track their activities. The first SoS Cluster projects plenary meeting is planned for 8th July 2014 in Sophia-Antipolis.

As for the futures meetings of CPSoS working groups, the 2nd WG meeting with participation of DYMASOS partners (linked to a public Workshop) are planned as follows:

WG 2:”Physically connected systems of systems” is planned on October 1, 2014, in Zurich, Switzerland, Chaired by Prof. Sebastian Engell, with Prof. John Lygeros (ETH Zürich) and Dr. Stefan Krämer (INEOS Köln) as delegate of DYMASOS. The next plenary meeting of DYMASOS and the first meeting of Industrial Advisory Board of DYMASOS will be organised at the same time at ETH Zurich.

WG 3:” Tools for systems engineering and management” on September 12, 2014 in Bertinoro, Italy, at the occasion of IFM2014. DYMASOS partners Bertrand Copigneaux (inno TSD) and Christian Sonntag (TEX) plan to participate in this event.

And the tentative planning (in accordance with the ToR) of SoS cluster of projects is as follow:

3rd meeting, around March 2015 (joint WG meeting, expected in Florence, IT), "European research and innovation agenda on systems of systems": to propose directions for the future

http://ifm2014.cs.unibo.it/index.html




European research and innovation agenda on Cyber-physical Systems of Systems. A public workshop will be organised in conjunction with the meeting of the working groups.

4th meeting, around March 2016 “Symposium "Cyber-physical Systems of Systems Meeting Societal Challenges": to present policy document and technical papers supporting it (materials will be published).

In addition, partner TEX attended the second expert workshop of the FP7 support action Road4FAME (http://road4fame.eu) on May 23, 2014, in Porto, Portugal. The goal of Road4FAME is to develop a strategic research and innovation roadmap for future architectures and services for manufacturing in Europe. During the expert discussions, TEX stressed the importance of the DYMASOS work also to the manufacturing industries, in particular in the areas of integrated heterogeneous modelling of complex SoS, integrated site- and enterprise-wide management and optimization of partly autonomous systems, and site- and enterprise-wide integration of engineering and operational IT systems. Regular contacts to these projects and activities shall be maintained, and networking opportunities shall be organised to ensure smooth communication.

5.4. Activities of the Industrial Advisory Board

As explained in the communication strategy, the members of the Industrial Advisory Board will advise the project partners with respect to promising research directions and promising dissemination activities from both, the industrial and the technological points of view, and provide comments and suggestion on possible impact and exploitation.

The external members of the IAB will be involved as “active observers” in the project activities . They will provide suggestions for the definition of requirements in the different application areas and give feedback on the future take-up of the results in industry. The IAB will meet three times during the lifetime of the project; the last meeting will be integrated into a public workshop on the results of the project .

ENEL, a major electrical producer and distributor in Southern Europe, and HONEYWELL Prague Labs agreed already to support the project. A number of other members are pre-selected and in the process of confirmation.

The first IAB meeting is planned on October 1st in Zurich, Switzerland.

5.5. Planned Events

This list shall be regularly updated. It will be necessary to continuously monitor and identify dissemination opportunities, to set the criteria for participation in events and to decide which events should be supported and which communication/dissemination tools should be used.

The goal will be to inform stakeholders about the objectives of the project, its achievements and available outcomes. DYMASOS partners will make sure to distribute publicity material at those events and, where possible, to make presentations.

All partners will continue to keep track of the events they attend, and a complete list will be reported in the final awareness-raising and dissemination report. The events that are planned to be attended in the next months are reported in the table above. It is important to notice that the list is neither exhau stive nor mandatory.




6. Conclusion

The DYMASOS dissemination activities are so far in line with those defined in the DoW and in the communication strategy.

Our successes so far include the setting up of dissemination infrastructure and processes, such as the implementation of the project communication tools and media: The visual identity (logo, graphical chart) of the project that is now ensuring a professional level of quality in terms of design and presentation in all the project documents and communications, as well as a set of graphical template documents. The same goes for other material such as the project web site which includes a general presentation of the project objectives and consortium as well as all information related to the project activities, results and events. Furthermore, this information is being constantly updated.

Now that the communication strategy and visual identity are well established , the process will be put to test as the first project outcomes become available. So far, 10 articles have been published or are in preparation. More specifically, 3 articles have been published, 4 are accepted, 1 is submitted, and 2 are planned before the end of the year. And the DYMASOS project has been presented at 10 events, where publicity material and presentations have been given.

The challenges faced are related to the involvement of partners in the dissemination, as it is important to have the largest audience possible to spread the outcomes of the project; overall, the industrial end-users developing and operating physically coupled systems of systems and the general public have not been addressed yet by the project, for the simple reason that it is still early in the project to produce the relevant foreground knowledge to address them.

So, the next step of the DYMASOS dissemination strategy will be to appeal to a larger audience and to put the results of the project (especially the first scientific deliverables of the project) in light. This will include a continued production and update of marketing materials (such as the website and online communities, but also the production of a leaflet and update of the generic presentation). However, as already mentioned in the project strategy, to optimize the project dissemination efficiency, the SoS European community needs to make common cause and take advantage from shared opportunities. As such, DYMASOS will continue to be synchronized with relevant external initiatives and confronted with different stakeholder’s views, as explained in D6.4 were it planned to gain feedback from different stakeholders. The focus will be kept on networking with other projects funded under the same SoS topic (Call 10): AMADEOS, Local4Global and CPSoS.

As examples of the willingness of the project to network and synchronize with other relevant initiatives, the shared newsletter of the CPSoS project has indeed allowed disseminating about the impacts of the projects and more generally about their impacts on SoS. The multi-stakeholders consultation of the Exploitation task (as presented in Deliverable 6.4) is another example of this strategy that will be continued and increased as the project goes.
