In INCLUDING UoA/NETSA will provide the platform for managing drill and activities in the field. The platform will be cloud-based with resource management schemes that cover humans, groups of practitioners, specialized devices and robots. The INCLUDING platform will support the implementation of field experiments and allow for the post-processing of drill derived information. Through the analytics component the calibration/optimization of processes will be facilitated. The required customization for the different experimental facilities participating in INCLUDING Is also a task to be undertaken by UoA/NETSA.
