4. Description: CESTIUS is a concept-validation exercise within PYRAMID that is designed to provide feedback on the usability and ‘openness’ of the technical solution by assessing the PRA Exploiter’s Pack through an experiment in component development. The experiment will be conducted by a component developer and will consist of the development a PYRAMID-Compliant software component using the PRA Exploiter’s Pack, capturing lessons learned on the experience of development, and supplying the component to a system integrator for integration testing. The value of these activities is in the findings of the experience which should provide confidence that the material enables suppliers to develop PYRAMID-Compliant systems. Consequently, the Authority is seeking responses that demonstrate a well-considered approach, e.g. the controls on the methods for conducting and observing the experiment. Responses will be considered against the proposals to capture and communicate the lessons learned from the assessment.
