Application Usability Levels
Application usability levels (AUL) allow for the progress of a single project for a specific application to be tracked. This also will allow for others to know what stage your model/empirical data set/software/hardware or research project is at and if it is ready for use. The application maybe an input to (another) model, or to be used for forecasting/ an industry specific application. As the AULs are an expansion of the TRL system, both software and hardware projects are also able to use the AUL framework. Below we will go into the details of setting up an AUL. As our group progresses we hope to develop a framework for people to submit their projects and what AUL they are at so that other researchers and end users are aware of their efforts and when their studies are ready to be incorporated into other efforts.
