Beschreibung der Beschaffung
In this Open Call, we seek proposals from eligible parties who want to integrate, extend, and evaluate OpenReq technologies for tools, processes, and use cases of their interest.
The call participants are expected to:
— perform technical work (including implementation and deployment, e.g., of connectors),
— conduct evaluation(s) in real-world settings (i.e., with real-world data and participants),
— contribute to the dissemination and exploitation activities of the OpenReq project (e.g., blogging or attending events).
We call for proposals covering (but not limited to) the following topics:
— smoothly integrate relevant OpenReq features into popular — preferably open source — tools, including issue trackers (e.g., Bugzilla, Jira, GitHub Issues), requirements management tools, release planning tools, communication tools, and office tools,
— collect usage and context data from the applicant’s apps and tools, or from popular ones, using a framework developed for this specific purpose,
— integrate OpenReq services into intelligent conversational interfaces (e.g., chatbot, Siri, Alexa.) for quick and easy natural language querying — e.g., to support stakeholder meetings,
— integrate popular platforms, such as StackOverflow, as a data source for the OpenReq services. StackOverflow is one of the primary resources for developers to discuss issues, complain about functionalities, exchange needs, and nice-to-haves,
— Integrate requirements quality improvement approaches, such as reducing the ambiguity of requirements text, into popular word processors via ad-hoc plugins,
— integrate OpenReq user participation approach, based on Liquid Democracy, in an app. For example, give users the possibility to participate in the prioritization of requirements by acquiring tokens from a smart contract set up by a group of stakeholders.

The total budget for this Open Call is 180 000 EUR, and it will be used to subcontract entities from at least three different EU countries. We expect proposals requesting up to 30 000 EUR; the panel will not consider proposals requesting funding over this limit. The number of funded projects will vary depending on the complexity, relevance and requested budget of the proposals. The panel will make recommendations on the amount of investment; therefore, it may not exactly match the requested funding. The payment will follow a staged schedule according to the subcontracting agreement. Regarding the eligible costs, participation as a third party in an H2020 project will cover all the incurred costs.
