Abstract

In Sweden we have a long tradition of research collaboration using open testbeds. With that as background this paper discusses what factors make that type of collaboration successful, respectively what makes it fail (i.e. what are the ingredients to prepare successful testbed collaboration). Particularly in early life-cycle phases, looking for new and perhaps disruptive usages of technology factors as openness, informality and sharing are crucial. Focus itself is not an advantage if you do not know what you are looking for. Proposals for working methods and governance models are discussed.
