University of New South Wales at the Australian Defense Force Academy

From 2014 to 2018, IFOSSF worked jointly with UNSW-ADFA exploring the use of the SEED framework as the foundation for digital government transformation. iFOSSF worked to customize the SEED framework to align with the Australian defence sector First Principle Reviews’ strategy; recommended tools for digital transformation in the defence sector; and made recommendations on future research directions.

Quebec Smart City Implementation

In 2013, IFOSSF partnered with the Le Cercle and their European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) project. Through this joint venture, iFOSSF worked with ENoLL’s SU Research and Development project to establish the Le Cercle Living Lab business model for culture-focused, smart city development.

People Olympics Project

In collaboration with the European Network of Living Labs, in 2014 iFOSSF mapped the SEED framework for project execution strategy and data collection for the ENoLL People Olympics project.  The People Olympics is a game where 10,000s strong teams track their physical activity and contribute to the city Healthy Index as a way to increase their city’s well-being, fun, and social transformation.

Foundation for Sustainable Development

iFOSSF partnered with Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD) in 2013 & 2014 to enhanced and strengthen their service learning program using the SEED framework methodology. In addition, iFOSSF worked with FSD on joint corporate fundraising and engagement, specifically working to engage technology companies.

OASIS Transformational Government Framework (TGF)

In 2012-2014, iFOSSF was an active member of the OASIS TGF’s technical committee. The committee works with governments around the world to define a framework, identify use cases, and provide adoption guidance for improving the delivery of their public services through information technology.

SEED Framework Development

In 2012, iFOSSF developed the SEED (Social, Economic and Ecosystem Development) framework based on four enabling concepts: ecosystem governance, value-based partnership, benchmark and measurement, and semantic knowledgebase.  The framework relies on a six-step process that enables co-creation of sustainable solutions.

In 2013, iFOSSF presented the SEED Inauguration Workshop as a pre-conference symposium to the 7TH IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies (IEEE DEST2013).
