Poland – NOR-STA

_____________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY

The project aims at development and deployment of innovative services to support processes of achieving and assessing conformance to standards and norms. The services provide for representing and maintaining conformance arguments, integrating these arguments with the supporting evidence and assessing the compelling power of the arguments. All these services are accessible through standard Internet browsers and their deployment is planned in accordance of the SaaS cloud computing model. The project integrates three main viewpoints on standards: owner, user and assessor. NOR-STA services support all three viewpoints and move the whole problem of conformance demonstration and assessment to the Internet in a way which respects security and privacy perspectives. The project runs a series of Case Studies with partners from medical and business sectors including hospital quality management and secure outsourcing management. Expansion to other sectors is foreseen in the project course. It is expected that the project will conclude with a spin-off company.
