  1. Presentation at proposers day OCTOBER 2011

  2. A product is useless without a platform, or more precisely and accurately, a platform-less product will always be replaced by an equivalent platform-ized product. We don't do internal service-oriented platforms, and we just as equally don't do external ones. This means that the "not getting it" is endemic across the company: the PMs don't get it, the engineers don't get it, the product teams don't get it, nobody gets it. But making something a platform is not going to make you an instant success. A platform needs a killer app.

  3. Fi-WARE objective • An open platform • …with • Open APIs • (not locked-in to specific vendors) • for the creation and delivery of services, related to different usage areas

  4. Our (real) objective • An open architecture • …and • an operative software • (not locked-in to specific vendors) • for the creation and delivery of services, related to different service areas

  5. Some figures and data Main data 26 partners 5 Universities 4248 Person Months (excl. open calls) Total Funding 41 M€ Open calls 12,3 M€ Total budget 66,4 M€ Three years duration

  6. Building a platform for users Consumers People Businesses Apps/Services Provider Open Interfaces Platform Provider Provide “Generic Enablers” to the usage areas…and beyond

  7. FI Core Platform Architecture: main chapters Functionality Trust and Security Operations

  8. Core Platform Instances and Use Case Trials • Future Internet Applications run on top of “FI Core Platform Instances” • Use Case trials will consist of application scenarios running on top of FI Core Platform Instances, involving real users Use Case Trial FI Core Platform GE GE FI Core Platform Instance GE GE GE GE assemble… GE Platform Products

  9. Mainmilestones in FI-WARE

  10. We plan to maintain ~30% (12M Euro) of the project budget for distribution among new partners New partners will be selected through Open Calls to allow for responding to emerging user requirements not identified at the start of the project, e.g., due to new usage areas, new technologies, new economic conditions Specific component of the budget will be reserved for SMEs (aprox 30%) and Research Centers (aprox 30%) Selection of new partners will be done according to the procedure issued by the Commission European Commission 23 October 2009v1a Guidance note for project coordinators planning a competitive call for additional beneficiaries in an ICT Integrated Project or Network of excellence Management of Open Calls

  11. Open callprocedure The budget devoted to the Open Calls is 12.300.000 €, or 30% of total funding. The expected distribution of this budget between the two planned Open Calls is about 8.000.000 € in the first Open Call and 4.300.000 € in the second Open Call.

  14. SomeFAQs (1/2) • Do we need to form a consortium or just one entity is enough? • R/ See rules. We do not need a consortium in all cases, selected partners will indeed join the existing consortia • Looking for SW developers or innovative, ground breaking work? • R/ Good foundations and results to be integrated. We are not reinveinting Internet, rather we want to put into use to the citizens • Are you looking for built, completed solutions? • R/ We need to innovate, but we are also valuing existing results (software that works) and expertise. Integration is important. • Should we write a long, impact related document? • R/ we need description your results rather than “standard” impact sections • However, we really would like to see commitment to the implementation

  15. SomeFAQs (2/2) • Any constraints regarding IPRs ? • Specification of APIs and interoperable protocols linked to any product/technology contributed to FI-WARE must be open and royalty-free • Must be licensed free of charge in the context of the PPP • Must be licensable under FRAND terms outside the PPP • How can I really understand what you have already?. • R/ See our web site (www.fi-ware.eu) • Can provideyousomeexample of thekind of thingsyou are lookingfor ? • R/ Stilltooearlybut be surewewillmostlyaskforrather concrete products, technologiesorskills • Examples(notmeaningthey are real): • Document-orientedNo-SQL Data Storage Technology • Development of advancedwidgetsforanEventMonitoringDashboardConsole • Widgetpublishingplatform, enablingpublicationonmultiplechannels (e.g., FaceBook, Google Apps Marketplace, …)

  16. Our objective • Working together to make it possible: • New services for everybody • Smart applications • Innovative business models • Providing the Technology Foundation • Standard interfaces. • Open to other actors (SMEs) • Scalable and demand oriented (cloud) create a solid basis for the Internet of the Future
