Non-functional requirements:

  • Privacy by design

    • Include security measures to prevent users from accessing data, applications, notes etc that are not public to them.
    • Security measures should be especially mindful of the system's handling of private and commercially sensitive data.
  • Difficult communications environments

    • Function in low-bandwidth environments
    • function in intermittent bandwidth environments.
    • Platform should continue to function when all external Internet links are cut.
    • A low-bandwidth interface could be developed for difficult comms environments.
  • Usability

    • Someone with minimal technical skills should be able to system manage a platform.
    • Easy adaptation for non-English language users.
    • Undecided yet whether to restrict available character sets to unicode.
  • Scalability.

    • Initial system expected to contain 6 platforms rising to approx 100 platforms (including platforms at data and processing sites) but external uptake might raise this estimate by an order of magnitude.

##Development constraints:

  • A pilot system must be built by the end of 2011.
