D3.2: Experimental Methodology forGrant Agreement • March 31st, 2017
Contract Type FiledMarch 31st, 2017The methodology presented here is to guide parties executing experiments and trials on the FLAME platform: both the validation experiments driving the evolution of the facility and those to be funded through open calls. The methodology sets out concerns of different stakeholders and how trials can lead to new knowledge and ultimately business value. Media service characteristics such as personalisation, interactivity, mobility and localisation and their relation to user privacy are explored as well as concepts such as quality of service and quality of experience. Techniques for conducting experiments at various scales and points through the development process are enumerated and an initial characterisation of the four validation experiments is provided.
