Akraino Forum's purpose is to facilitate the on-going flow of Information to TSC and BPs' PTLs in terms of seminars, that take place each Tuesday at the Akraino TSC meetings. The presentations are conducted either by Akraino TSC member or a guest invited by Akraino TSC member.
Akraino TSC has undertaken the step to institutionalise the process of flow of Information in form of presentations to be streamlined and target to directly address issues that currently Akraino PTL's and/or Akraino TSC members face to resolve on the way to achieve the set Akraino Project objectives.
The issues might be related to SW execution or SoC Capacity e.g. GPUs built to serve Metaverse UCs or UCs related to 5G, IoT, K8, ICN, IEC, ML, DT (Digital Twins) etc.
Akraino TSC intents to utilize Akraino Forum for generating and evolving innovative ideas as a place where the Akraino BPs' PTLs and Community members indicate the various issues the face and need to resolve and the specific specific information they seek in order to be able to resolve these issues and consequesnly, used by the Akraino TSC members as a guideline to set and determine the Content of Information in the Presentation scheduled to be presented each Tuesday.
The model behind that process aiming to facilitate outlining the Issues, that stands on the way and hinder to achive the Goals is denoted as G.A. I. N. (what is Needed to resolve the Issue(s) that hinders/stands on the way to Achieve the Goal(s)) (please see attached below Ref. Ericsson PtW).
Related to "Governance and Process" to be set and followed, Akraino TSC is well aware about research outcomes related to "Brainstorming", as a "good" source for providing variety of ideas, but, a "bad" source and activity for providing "innovative ideas". There is also awareness on the distinction made in the "Theory of Innovation" (The Innovator's Dilema. When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail, 1997), by Prof. Clayton Christensen between "Sustaining Innovation" and "Disruptive Innovation".
On the study and its outcomes on Brainstorming negative effect on finding Innovative ideas, please see in the attached bellow two (2) sources, namely:
