SPECTRUM – APPLIED RESEARCH 52 / UdZ 2-2021 all areas of social and economic life, predicting crisis scenarios in the energy sector (e.g., concerning the failure of the power grid) is essential for holistic crisis control and management. Overall, the testing of individual use cases in the platform lays the foundation for their subsequent use in practice. The presented research project has recently started. In the first phase of the project, use cases are definedbasedon analyses of past crises and corresponding discussions with experts, which enable the derivation of corresponding requirements for the PAIRS platform and its services. On this basis, the foundations of the platformwill be developed in the following steps on the basis of topic areas. First, the core components and interfaces as well as the architecture of the platform are designed. In the next topic area, the focus is on developing the data integration strategies in the formof integration solutions as a basis for data availability and access rights in the context of data governance. As a third topic area, the conceptual and technical specification as well as prototypical implementation of specific and generic PAIRS AI modules for smart crisis management services as well as their evaluation within a performance benchmarking and instantiation on the platforms of the system providers are considered. In parallel to the prototypical implementation of the crisis management approaches and their corresponding functionalities on the basis of the previously named use case categories, elaborations on the topics of security and data protection are being developed. Relevant aspects of data protection and IT security are adequately taken into account by designing and prototyping individual anonymization concepts for dynamic data and conducting legal and technical analyses. In order to ensure a lasting benefit of the PAIRS platform, on the one hand qualitative and quantitative investigations regarding the acceptance and benefit evaluation are continuously carried out in the project. On the other hand, the development of an exploitation strategy and a business model to ensure the economic viability and sustainable economic and social relevance of the PAIRS platform is taking place. jn · ber · lc The PAIRS research consortium currently consists of twelve funded and more than fifteen associated project partners. Due to the size of the research area, further associated partners in the research project are always welcome. As an associated partner, you can basically decide for yourself how and how often you want to get involved. The advantage in any case is that you have direct access to the content of the research project and can directly influence the results with your content and ideas.
