SAMS Reports

 

WP 1 – Project Management (Lead: GIZ)

D.1.9 – Initial Data Management Plan °1 

The use of a Data Management Plan is required for projects participating in the Open Research Data Pilot (ORDP). It should describes the data management life cycle for the data to be collected, processed and/or generated by the SAMS Horizon 2020 project. The Data Management Plan is a key element of data collection and exchange

D.1.10 – Update Initial Data Management Plan °2 *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

 

WP 2 – SAMS User Centered Design Cycles and Business Development (Lead: GIZ)

D2.1 – Report on Needs Assessment and Evaluation, including Technical Specification and UCD implementation strategy

This document describes the planned and already realized steps of the User Centered Design process (UCD) for SAMS products. It shows how the UCD approach was planned with its iterations and its close consideration of the anticipated product and service scope.

D2.2 – UCD Results and Lessons Learnt *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

The SAMS project was based on User Centered Design (UCD) which derived from Human Centered Design (HCD). Following UCD according to the DIN ISO 9241-210, all SAMS hardware, software and Api-management project solutions and results are characterized by iterations to meet the user needs and requirements. A UCD roadmap was guiding the multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural project team.

D2.3 – Results of Market Surveys *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

Deliverable N° 2.3 gives an overview on findings of the current honey and apiculture market in Indonesia and Ethiopia. Next to honey and other bee products, the market results target especially SAMS related fields like data usability and SAMS technology modules. An overview is provided on the following aspects:

D2.4 – Evaluation of Business Plans *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

D2.5 – Evaluation of Business Licenses in Place or in Formation *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

 

WP 3 – Hive System (Lead: Uni Kassel)

D3.1 – Manual on Beehive Construction and Operation  

Under SAMS project the objective set for work package 3 is to adapt HIVE System for local needs and usability. To achieve this objective one of the deliverable targeted was to develop manual on Beehive Construction and Operation. For this, analysis of the existing situation in each target project countries is conducted.

D3.2 – Low-fidelity HIVE Prototype Design  

The document describes the development of a low-fidelity prototype for a self-sufficient bee monitoring system, the SAMS HIVE (WP3.4). The main function is the recording of acoustic signals in a beehive. The low-fidelity self-sufficient prototype is developed for further expansions (e.g. internet database, decision-support system (DSS), and advisory support system (ASS). It can provide in-depth insights into the condition and behavior of honeybee colonies. The prototype was tested successfully in a field trial to predict swarming behavior based on acoustic recordings.

D3.3 – High-fidelity HIVE Prototype Design  *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

The report describes the development, commissioning, and improvement of the second prototype (hi-fi) HIVE measurement system including control software compared to earlier versions.

D3.4 – Evaluation of HIVE Prototype Designs *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

D3.5 – Manual on HIVE Construction and Operation *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

D3.6 – Report on Data Communication *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

D3.7 – Capacity Building on Modern Bee Hive Construction – Achievements and Lessons Learnt *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

 

WP 4 – Decision Support System (Lead: LLU)

D4.1 – Data Management in the Decision Support System *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

This report describes the development process of the SAMS data warehouse from all the beginning to the functioning prototype. As well data management procedures within the DW are described in this report.

D4.2 – Data Analysis and Interpretation in the Decision Support System *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

This report describes the development process of the algorithms and models, which can be used for bee colony state detection. Some algorithms are applied to data, received from the SAMS HIVE measurement system. Some models need real-time bee colony data, while some can operate with historical data obtained and stored. All presented models are part of the global Decision Support System, which will be used to inform the beekeeper about the state and situation within the bee colonies.

D4.3 – Evaluation of Reponses and Support Services *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

All bee colony monitoring data coming from the SAMS monitoring devices is accessible globally using a web-based application – the SAMS Data Warehouse. Deliverable N° 4.3 describes the new web user interface for the SAMS Data Warehouse (DW) and the clickable version of the front-end for mobile devices. Issues related to the bee colony monitoring data transfer and system installations are addressed, as well. The sustainability aspect of the SAMS data warehouse is described and DW deployment process is summarized. The response and support actions are elaborated for different regional settings in the target countries.

D4.4 – Concept of the Decision Support System *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

D4.5 – Capacity Building for the Implementation and Application of Decision Making Support Systems – Achievements and Lessons Learnt *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

 

WP 5 – Api-Management (Lead: University Graz)

Bee Management and Bee Health indicators will be identified in the different regions. Bee Management and Bee Health Indicators will be adapted to local the local context and environment for Indonesia, Ethiopia and EU. The database will be an open source wiki.

D5.1 – Bee-Management and Bee-Health indicators

Scope of the document: Definition of local apiculture and biodiversity conditions in Indonesia and Ethiopia and identification of specific bee species and subspecies including current regional conditions and need of nutrients as well as climatic pre-conditions. The database will be divided in two thematic categories: Bee-management & Bee-health. Definition of locally used beehives appropriate for bees and people. Definition of suitable hive specifications (material, volume of the hive, size of flight entrance, number of combs, comb-comb distance, etc.).

D5.2 – Bee-Management and Bee-Health databases *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

In the first months of the SAMS project, within work package 5, deliverable 5.1, we contextualized the situation of honey bees and beekeeping in the two target countries Ethiopia and Indonesia. As contextualizing in this aspect is an ongoing process, we were aiming to create a growing digital knowledge database and thus the situation of bees and beekeeping in the two target countries was not completed with the preliminary report. As a consequence, we were able to identify 25 more topic related literature sources (totaling in 139 cited research articles) since the last submission and further we focused more on expert opinions for the database presented in this deliverable.

D5.3 – Evaluation Report on Bee Management and Bee-Health Services *Deliverable has not been approved and accepted by the EC

This final report on bee management and bee-health services of the SAMS project covers the objectives and main project creations of the last two years of work package 5 “Api management”. It fulfils the task 5.1 “contextualizing of local systems” including bee management and bee-health management.
