Holistic framework for the MatUrity evaLuaTIon of ReAdiness level for security TEchnologies (MultiRATE)

近年来，有很多指标试图评估产品/系统/流程的成熟度，以确定其部署就绪性。尽管已经作出了过多的努力，将广泛使用的框架、方法和指标纳入产品/系统/流程，但这导致欧盟资助的安全研究和创新项目的使用有限。因此，一个强大的扩展框架是非常重要的。拟议的MultiRATE缩放框架将依赖于现有的既定准备水平方法，并将正式将它们联合收割机合并为一个可接受的可靠框架。MultiRATE将能够评估和应用产品/系统/流程各个方面的准备情况。它将对现有方法进行深入研究，并将开发一个完善的量表，考虑到几个知识领域，如技术准备水平（TRL）量表，集成准备水平（IRL），商业化准备水平（CRL），制造准备水平（MRL），安全，隐私和道德准备水平（SPRL）和社会准备水平（SRL）。这些RL将为创建整体MultiRATE框架奠定基础，该框架将评估产品/系统/流程的所有方面的准备情况。从以前提出的和正在制定的成熟度评估解决方案中获得的经验，以及将在欧盟资助的项目下提出的经验，将导致MultiRATE强大的整体框架解决方案。非常重要的是建立一个项目和组织网络，支持设计适当的评价方法，并增加它们在个别参考指标和整体参考指标的校准和测试方面的知识和专长。该网络将在合作伙伴参与现有网络和欧盟资助项目的基础上建立。

In the recent years, there are plenty of metrics that try to evaluate the maturity of products/sysIn the recent years, there are plenty of metrics that try to evaluate the maturity of products/systems/processes when identifying their deployment readiness. Even though, an excessive effort has been made to integrate widely used frameworks, methodologies and indicators in the products/systems/processes, this leads to a limited usage from the EU funded security R&I projects. As a result, a robust scaling framework is more than of utmost importance. The proposed MultiRATE scaling framework will rely on the existing established readiness level approaches and will formally combine them into one acceptable and reliable framework. MultiRATE will be able to evaluate and apply the readiness of all aspects of products/ systems/processes. It will make a thorough research on the existing methodologies and will develop a well-established scale taking into consideration several areas of knowledge such as Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale, Integration Readiness Level (IRL), Commercialisation Readiness Level (CRL), Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL), Security, Privacy and Ethics Readiness Level (SPRL) and Societal Readiness Level (SRL). These RLs will set the basis for the creation of the holistic MultiRATE framework that will evaluate the readiness of all aspects of a product/system/process. The experience gained from previously proposed and ongoing maturity evaluation solutions developed and will be proposed under EU-funded projects will lead to the MultiRATE robust holistic framework solution. Of great importance will be the establishment of a network of projects and organisations that will support the design of the appropriate evaluation methodologies adding also their knowledge and expertise on the calibration and testing of both individual RLs and the holistic one. This network will be built based on the partner’s involvement on existing networks and EU funded projects.
