What are the specific deliverables of SCOPE?
Specification Profiles: SCOPE looks into a given open specification (such as the SA Forum Application Interface Specification) and makes an analysis based on knowledge of Carrier Grade systems and their requirements. Necessary and sufficient options or features are selected to be described in specification profiles. Profiles are then made public. Gap analysis: If the previous requirement analysis points out missing options or features, they are documented and individual member companies work with specification organizations to address these gaps. Reference architecture: SCOPE has created a reference architecture of CGBP giving guidelines on how such platforms could be built using open specification based COTS / FOSS components. Technical position paper: describes the above mentioned reference architecture and other necessary details of CGBP to help the industry gain a better insight into the thinking and direction of SCOPE.
