Evaluation framework of a secure collaborative platform for the judicial co-operation environment

This paper refers to a real case (Security E-justice European project) in which the authors proposed a framework to evaluate an innovative web based collaborative platform. It concerns the judicial process environment and relative information that flows between different actors and at different levels. The evaluation of such collaborative platform represents a very critical factor to allow its own success and to obtain the commitment of the targeted users. We considered the analysis of two relevant dimensions that derive from the following areas: 1. process and organizational aspects, 2. functional and technical aspects.
