FIWARE: Challenges & Opportunities FIWARE in a nutshell Value Proposition: FIWARE USP The Future: Sustainability
The wide context
Driven by implementation Sustainability ensured Understanding FIWARE (Open Standard Platform) (advanced OpenStack-based Cloud + rich library of Generic Enablers) Driven by implementation Sustainability ensured
FIWARE Generic Enablers (GEs) A FIWARE Generic Enabler (GE): set of general-purpose platform functions available through APIs Building with other GEs a FIWARE Reference Architecture FIWARE GE Specifications are open (public and royalty-free) FIWARE GE implementation (FIWARE GEi): Platform product that implements a given GE Open Spec There might be multiple compliant GEis of each GE Open Spec One open source reference implementation of each FIWARE GE (FIWARE GEri): Well-known open source license Publicly available Technical Roadmap updated in every release Available FIWARE GEis, GEris and incubated enablers are published on the FIWARE Catalogue
FIWARE major differential features Federation of infrastructures (private/public regions) Automated GE deployment Cloud Complete Context Management Platform Integration of Data and Media Content Data/Services Delivery Easy plug&play of devices using multiple protocols Automated Measurements/Action Context updates IoT Visualization of data (operation dashboards) Publication of data sets/services Apps Easy incorporation of advanced 3D and AR features Visual representation of context information Web UI Security Monitoring Built-in Identity/Access/Privacy Management Security Advanced networking (SDN) and middleware Interface to robots I2ND
Why an open standard platform is required Avoid vendor lock-in: Standard Southbound APIs for sensor providers Standard Northbound APIs offered to applications Portability across platform providers Interoperability of apps on top of different providers Larger community of developers (critical mass, economies of scale) True innovation More competition, leading to cost savings Not any standard is enough Modularity Allow different business models Integration with standard open data platform Non-intrusive (smooth integration with legacies)
Ecosystem and platform: two tied concepts Open Standard Platform Sustainable Open Innovation Ecosystem
FIWARE Lab: the “meeting point” where innovation takes place App Customers and Data providers Connect to entrepreneurs Put their data at work Bring new innovative services to end users Be more efficient Social Reputation Entrepreneurs, Developers Develop once for a large market Easily meet potential customers Marketing, promotion Ability to test with real data and end users Simple yet powerful APIs that accelerate product development 4,2 M€ promotion campaign Campus Party events Startup Weekend events Chambers of Commerce 870 K€ in prizes 100 M€ of funding devoted to entrepreneurs in phase 3 of the FIWARE program FIWARE Technology Providers “Coopetitive” approach Connect to entrepreneurs: jointly exploit the opportunities
FIWARE Lab provides access to data

The ecosystem now
Open Source. Avoid vendor lock-in You have the control GENUINE
Not only platform, tools…this is powered by data! A live instance of FIWARE available to developers for free experimentation Not only platform, tools…this is powered by data! GENUINE
Going from clusters to ecosystems Cross-fertilization between sectors; avoid silos GENUINE Leading to a more powerful platform offering (based on common functionalities; develop once and reuse as much as you can) Then, translating the sectorial knowledge into domain-specific plafforms
GENUINE Support and coaching
FIWARE support channels A Help/Contact page has been created on the FIWARE website providing: Link to FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page Multiple contact mailing lists, each focused on a given category of questions Mails sent to contact mailing lists automatically generate a ticket on a trouble- ticketing system (JIRA) Tickets get assigned to some member of the FIWARE community who takes care of answering the email and close the ticket when appropriate Handling of relevant technical questions are moved to StackOverflow.com
Domain specific enablers Modularity; integration with legacies Domain-specific platforms = FIWARE + specific enablers GENUINE FOR YOU SMART Agrifood Apps SMART City Apps SMART Factory Apps Domain specific enablers FIWARE GEs
