6.3 Main objectives: An analysis of all major challenges
In this ECS-SRIA the Major Challenges identified by the different chapter teams were analysed and finally merged into Main Common Objectives for the ECS community as shown in the following tables.
In the table, Major Challenges numbering is composed by three digits X.Y.Z, where:
- x is the ECS-SRIA Part (1, 2 or 3);
- y is the ECS-SRIA Chapter (1-4 for Part 1, 1-4 for Part 2 and 1-6 for Part 3);
- z is the Major Challenge number in the specific Chapter.
