2. –,, © S-Cube – 2/ Associate Membership  One of the mechanisms to foster participation in the network.  Associate partners invited to:  Share expertise in identified research gaps / needs.  Contribute with new visions / ideas / alternative approaches.  Engage in networking / spreading / etc. activities.  Instrumented through Calls for Applications:  First call finished, second call midway through, third call launching.  Very selective: 70+ applications, 10 associate members, 5 in process.  Difficult task: many first-level applications received.  Every call focusing on a different set of identified gaps.

3. –,, © S-Cube – 3/ Associate Membership: Third Call  Focus: real(istic) service-based systems / scenarios.  Featuring dynamic, context-aware, adaptive compositions and having QoS as an important aspect.  Goal: shape thorough service-specific life cycle for the benefit of stakeholder community at large.  Applications specially sought from industry!  Selected members: access to S-Cube innovative approaches,can contribute to their refinement.  Call for applications to be circulated and also at http://www.s-cube-network.eu (follow links under “Collaboration” tab).
