Platform-based businesses on any possible device are outperforming in sales and

profits any other ICT business.Platform-based business models have been

the main drivers of US net sales growth together with leadership in mobile devices,

apps stores, microelectronics for mobile devices, software, and IP networks.

• Usage area requirements• Generic Enablers vs• Specific Enablers

• Conceptual prototypes

FI-PPPPhase 2: expectations

• Meeting programme objectives and requirements

• Working experimentation sites building upon Generic Enablers (as provided by FI-WARE) complemented by use case specific capabilities;

• Selected test applications implemented on these experimentation sites;

• Validation of the openness and versatility of the Core Platform and its software development kit;

• Prepare the ground for phase 3

• Open calls (around Summer-Autumn 2013)

FI-WAREBasic principles of GEs

GE specifications are open (i.e. public and royalty-free)

Any implementation of a Generic Enabler (GEI) is made up of a set of components which together supports a concrete set of Functions and APIs that are in compliance with the open specifications published for that GE

There might be multiple compliant implementations of a given GE

The FI-WARE project is delivering an implementation of FI-WARE GEs based upon results of previous R&D projects

14

FI-WARE Basic facts about GEs

On 31st July 2013 more than 45 GEIs have been made available via catalogue.fi-ware.eu

Terms and conditions for the usage of GEIs have been defined according to:

• Experimentation/testing within the FI-PPP

• FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab (FI-LAB)

• External availability

Some of GEIs are Open Source and all will be after the Technology Foundation Extension (phase 3)

All GEIs have at least a large industry as GEI owner

The repository is constantly expanding

With the XiPi portal developed by the INFINITY Project, ~150 Future Internet testing environments / experimental infrastructures are available for your tests

• To start with 5 core sites and develop a process for providing these test infrastructures with the necessary adaptation and upgrades to support the FI-PPP Enablers from FI-WARE

• To develop the capability to federate them, so that additional nodes can be added

• To build up the test infrastructure capacity and capability to support the massive increase in FI-PPP application/ service developers in Phase 3 (2013 Open Call)

• To validate the capabilities of the test infrastructures to support the FI-PPP Enablers from FI-WARE

25

The XIFI goals

26

XIFI

FI-PPP Boards, Advisory structures,

Work groups

• Appoint mandated members to SB, AB and work groups

• Influence FI-PPP strategy and direction

• Receive and process requirements on XIFI from peer projects

• Provide requirements and feedback to the peer projects

• Actively participate in programme wide activities e.g. dissemination, exploitation, standards, etc.

XIFI

Use Cases Early Trials

• Offer core nodes for early trials

• Upgrade early trials’ infrastructures to FI-PPP standards:

• Integration of GEs

• Supported functionalities

• Interfacing requirements

• Deployability of GEs

• Virtualization requirements

• Usability constraints

XIFI

FI-WARE

• Adopt GE components and specifications

• Integrate FI-WARE GEs into XIFI platform instances

• Test GEs deployability and interoperability and give feedback

• Generate additional requirements for GEs, e.g. management and control interfaces

• Identify missing functionality

• Trigger necessary activities, e.g. Interoperability/Conformance testing, Certification?

3-Step approach:1. Build the backbone between the 5

initial core sites. These form a federated and virtualised capacity layer to facilitate the deployment and interoperability between the FI-PPP core platform and other platforms across Europe. Consider aspects, such as:– The access network– The experimental nature of some of

the networks– The need for data centers

2. Validate the capabilities of the Generic Enablers on the core platform.

3. Enlarge the network to reach the Use Case Pilots, which may be using FIRE testbeds, EIT ICT Labs or private infrastructures. This will be done through an Open Call process.

FI-PPPFAQs

• CP-CSA instrument?– Most cases are mostly CSA, little CP– Subgranting: 100% funded and is not the CP part– CP part for RTD activities on e.g. making platforms available

• Possibility to limit participation in open calls to certain countries/regions?– Open calls must be open to all SMEs and web entrepreneurs– Certain skills and competences might be required

• Need to use FP7 rules?– Yes, “adhere to FP7 standards with respect to evaluation,

conflict of interest and [confidentiality]” and wide promotion of open calls

– No for subgranting (tbc)

Sustainability?

• Exploitation of FI-PPP technology?• IPR

– Must use FI-PPP technology in Phase 3vs– Need for clarity about Terms & Conditions of

using FI-PPP technology outside FI-PPP

• Generic/Specific Enabler specifications– Maintenance– Open specifications + possibility to influence?– Reference implementations?

Key messages

• Phase 3, an opportunity?

• Targeting intermediaries

• Not business-as-usual
