- Our prior research covers covers the platform development technologies as described (T. Margaria, M. Hinchey), adoption in education (T. Margaria, S. Saay, R. Lyons) and in industrial projects (T. Margaria, M. Hinchey). It also covers reference architectures for data integration and organisation (S. Saay), user experience (K. Crowley) and evaluation from the economic (S. Kinsella) and pedagogic (R. Lyons) point of view. The reference architecture for data integration has been proven in proofs of concepts of the Digital Thread, and it has been applied to organisation collaboration at the national level and cross-national level. We prototyped applications for different domains including education, health, and manufacturing. ls-type:: annotation hl-page:: 45 id:: 634f2bd1-17ec-4acb-9a31-b40649d22fc5
