The purpose of this series of deliverables is to keep track of the specifications throughout the project and update them as the project progresses. This deliverable has been released in M20 (August 2021) of the project, and its main objective is to describe the approach to the policy modelling and validation that will support policy makers in the design, evaluation, optimization and adaptation of policies. The Policy Development Toolkit (PDT), along with the Policy Model Editor (PME), constitute the front-end of the PolicyCLOUD platform, which allows policy makers to create, update and validate policies. The PDT backend, which hides ...

It will also architect the tools to identify groups for data-driven policies experimentation and adaptation.

Apart from 'static' contents (i.e. project description), the project website includes 'dynamic' areas were relevant news and announcements for events are regularly (with respect to information on project news and events). All partners will contribute to the content creation and update. The SiEUGreen website (with web domain "www.sieugreen.eu"), along with the Social Media constitute the primary means of the project's communication activities, as they are the main communication gate with the project target groups, promoting SiEUGreen activities and events.

It is an incremental update of PolicyCLOUD deliverable D4.1, and as such it repeats some of the content and adds new developments and work to do. It provides an update of the architecture of the Data Acquisition and Analytics Layer. As such, it details the included data analytic and transformation tools, the cloud platform and software tools that are planned at this point to be used for the implementation of the PolicyCLOUD platform towards the demonstration in D4.4 Reusable Model & Analytical Tools: Software Prototype 2. In essence, the Data Acquisition and Analytics Layer provides an extensible framework for data source and analytic tools, controlling the full data pass from the data sources through filtering, transformation and initial analytic, to hot storage and then to cold storage while enabling deeper analytics by the registered analytic tools on the ingested data at any time. We added for each sub-section (or whe...

A new tool that will exploit the benefits of ICT technology and promote biomass entrepreneurship ... more A new tool that will exploit the benefits of ICT technology and promote biomass entrepreneurship is presented: BI.O.MA.S. This new approach is based on a web-based tool for the real-time biomass supply chain management, an online marketplace combined with an auction platform for biomass products/services and the release of an app for smartphones and mobile devices. The goals and the novelty of Biomass-On-line-ManagementSystem (BI.O.MA.S.) will be the creation of an integrated, online system which will help the interactions between the several actors of the biomass market and the agricultural sector, contribute to domestic and international bioenergy trade, and increase business-to-business, business-to-consumers and e-commerce in agriculture.

Diverse and heterogeneous datasets are being generated from various sources, which could be utilized across the complete policies lifecycle (i.e. modelling, creation, evaluation and optimization) to realize efficient policy management. To this end, in this paper we present an overall architecture of a cloud-based environment that facilitates
