Executive Summary
The objective of the AMANDA project is to create an autonomous multisensory platform, in
the size of a credit card and with a thickness not exceeding 3 mm. This document discusses
possible typical scenarios for deploying such an autonomous multisensory card, based on a
number of derived use cases. These scenarios are narrative descriptions that explore the way
end users might utilize the ASSC. They are based on an analysis of the use cases of the project.
The use cases were first defined in Deliverable D1.3 - Voice-of-the Customer completed
based on surveys to understand the needs of end users and manage their expectations. The
use cases were subsequently refined in Deliverable D1.7 – Architecture design of the
AMANDA system delivered (for both breadboard and integrated/miniaturised system) to
better meet the architectural design of the AMANDA card. The final, consolidated list of the
AMANDA use cases is presented in this Deliverable. The document provides a developing pro-
cess and will help the system development team to design a variety of future practical demon-
strators.

1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose, context and scope of this Deliverable
The purpose of this Deliverable is to present the final, consolidated list of the AMANDA use
cases. Based on that list, which can be found in the next Section of this document, thirteen
different use scenarios are derived and detailed in narrative form in order to provide guide-
lines for the development of the ASSC and to assist in its evaluation in later stages of the pro-
ject. Moreover, this document describes the workflow in defining the different scenarios as
well as the methodological approach followed. A list of stakeholders and actors is also pro-
vided with a description of their role.
Figure 1 depicts the methodology followed for the definition of the different use cases and
scenarios. In order to define them, a three-step methodology has been followed. Initially, the
voice of the customer was gathered and the use cases were selected. Subsequently, the op-
erational scenarios were designed in order to prove the usability of the ASSC in each applica-
tion area.
Voice of the customer. In order to accurately identify the needs of stakeholders (sci-
entific community, business partners or end users) a research plan for the Voice of
the customer was developed. Various users were contacted, including industrial part-
ners, local governments as well as different academic members. Initially, the respond-
ents were made familiar with the key concept and objectives of the AMANDA project
as well as the potential technical features of the ASSC. Then surveys and interviews
were conducted and the respondents answered specific questions related to their
needs in IoT/IIoT solutions. The next step involved the collection of the customer
needs and their categorization into groups with common characteristics. Finally, the
needs and issues of the stakeholders were translated into user and business require-
ments

Use cases. The extrapolated information from questionnaires and workshops was
combined in order to ensure that the specifications and the applications of the
AMANDA ASSC will successfully satisfy the end-users’ needs. The consortium designed
five different use cases with the intention to cover the three possible application ar-
eas; indoor, outdoor and wearable. Significant emphasis was given to the usage of all
the ASSC’s components and to the implementation of State-of-the-Art data fusion,
edge intelligence and cyber security algorithms
Scenarios. In order to prove the usability and the functionality of the ASSC, in each
use case various operational scenarios were designed. An operational scenario de-
fines a specific task of a use case and contains a combination of events which cover a
particular application area of the AMANDA ASSC
Use case UC1 - Environmental room sensing for automated room control and safety targets
the indoor version of the AMANDA card. It specifically integrates all the use cases specified so
far related to environmental room monitoring. Use case UC2 - Multisensory indoor parking
slot occupancy monitoring covers both an indoor and outdoor versions of the ASSC. It unifies
all applications where the detection, or presence of an object in a space such as a car, espe-
cially in a parking lot, is needed. Use case UC3 - Infrastructure, noise, weather and air quality
monitoring station is derived from all former use cases that acquire and process environmen-
tal data, before sending it wirelessly to the user or a monitoring system. The UC4 - Identifica-
tion and health of people in a working environment use case mainly covers the wearable ver-
sion of the AMANDA ASSC. It uses the ASSC as a means of identification as well as a multisen-
sory device that can help in the control of the environmental conditions. Finally, UC5 - Assets
and goods tracking and monitoring, which also targets both the indoor and outdoor versions
of the AMANDA card. This use cases covers all applications related to monitoring and tracking
of different assets.
2.2 Scenarios
Thirteen operating scenarios are defined in this document. Each operational scenario is linked
to one of the five defined use cases, as listed in Section 2.1. These scenarios outline the capa-
bilities of the ASSC. Their description is in narrative form for the sake of clarity. Table 2 below
lists the different scenarios, the corresponding version of ASSC and their relationship to the
AMANDA use cases.

2.3 Stakeholders
The relevant stakeholders have been defined for all the scenarios described in the previous
Section. Table 16 below shows the stakeholders that are interested in the use of the AMANDA
multi-sensing autonomous card.
2.4 Components
AMANDA ASSC will have three different versions: indoor, outdoor and wearable. All versions
will consist of a core system which will incorporate the main components as defined in D1.6 -
Full System Specification and BOM delivered. Depending on the version and the specific use
case, the ASSC will include specific components in order to be functional.
Table 17 below presents a list of all the components that will be included in the AMANDA ASSC
and their corresponding use cases.
3 Conclusions
The operational scenarios defined in this document, represent a realistic picture of the use of
a smart multisensing autonomous card in typical real-life applications. Deliverable D1.4 - Op-
erational Scenarios Definition is the result of a survey conducted with various participants,
coming from both the industry and the research community. Their feedback helped the con-
sortium to design in depth the potential applications of the ASSC in order to cover end-user
needs. The usability of the device will be proved by using it in thirteen different scenarios,
each one designed to present the functionality of the system in different application areas;
outdoor, indoor, wearable.
The scenarios are a realistic reflection of the end-user needs and demonstrate the way the
ASSC can be used in real-life situations in which autonomy and discretion play a major role.
Currently, all the described scenarios have existing applications in practice as well as signifi-
cant market utilisation. The purpose of the operational scenarios, apart from testing the
ASSC’s functionality, is to constitute a substantial foothold for developers in the further de-
velopment process. This document is the first version of the Deliverable D1.4 - Operational
Scenarios Definition; an updated version of the Deliverable will be completed by M24 of the
project. The end users in the project continue to explore all possible additional applications
and introduce new capabilities and needs in the future use and development of the ASSC.
