The following items will ensure high
quality of the CAL research lab
• Uniqueness: All research must be constantly
related to the state of the art in the field.
• Relevance to the research program
• Correctness and Appropriateness
• Overall Design Guidelines: Research in a project
will be split into sub-problems. In order to
harmonise the various efforts, it is necessary to
define overall design principles.
• Relevant Research Program,
