Preface
During the last decade a number of national and international financial instruments have
been funding research, innovation and development programmes. From local to global
scales, many projects have been funded delivering research and industrial innovation
through reinforcing the excellence of science, speeding up the industrial leadership, and
supporting the growth of new markets.
   These initiatives have been driving economic growth and creating employment oppor-
tunities, by addressing societal challenges, boosting productivity and securing competi-
tiveness.
   Promoting collaborations activities among related projects and boosting the growth
of profitable cooperation among the involved partners is an important key enabler to
increase the success of these projects, even after their end, and the possibility to conceive
new project proposals.
   To this aim, the Projects Showcase event at STAF’15 (http://www.disim.univaq.
it/staf2015/projects-showcase/) is dedicated to national and international projects
dissemination and cooperation. The event provides the opportunity for researchers and
practitioners (from both academia and industry) involved in completed, to be started
or ongoing research projects related to Software Technologies, Applications, and Foun-
dations, to share opinions, propose solutions to open challenges and generally explore
novel and emerging ideas for future project proposals possibly advancing existing ones
with suitable follow-up projects.
   The Projects Showcase received contributions disseminating the objectives of various
projects, outcomes of specific deliverables, the project final outcome, as well as, advances
beyond the state of the art, overall innovation potential, exploitation approach and
(expected) impact, marketing value, barriers and obstacles. Thus, the Projects Showcase
at STAF’15 represents a concrete opportunity for participants to share experience, ideas,
on-going work, and knowledge that can lead to fruitful collaborations and cross-sectorial
concertation among projects.
   Many people contributed to the success of the Projects Showcase event at STAF’15.
We would like to truly acknowledge the work of all Program Committee members, and
reviewers for the timely delivery of reviews and constructive discussions given the very
tight review schedule. Finally, we would like to thank the authors, without them the
event simply would not exist.
