European Future Internet Initiative3rd Usage Area Workshop28/29 June 2011Venue: Husa President Hotel, Blvd du Roi Albert II, Brussels, BelgiumInvitation:Following the successful 2

ndFuture Internet Usage Areas workshop in Brussels last year, the EX-FI project, the

CONCORD project, the EFIA Consultation group and the European Commission now would like to invite you to the 3rd

Usage Areas workshop.

This workshop aims to cultivate a common discussion between the stakeholders from all sectors using, and planning to

use, the services and facilities of Future Internet (FI) to build an extended FI community and to foster a holistic cross

sector approach to accelerating the Future Internet in Europe.

The workshop will enable a detailed discussion on the Usage Areas requirements and in particular how they can be part

of the bigger picture of Future Internet evolution in Europe. A specific ambition will be to identify how additional usage

areas may share and benefit from the approach of the FI-PPP while working under complementary programmes.

Another ambition is to promote an ongoing discussion about the priorities and the activities in the community not

directly involved in the PPP and how to organise this.

Themes to be addressed:The themes and open questions to be addressed during the Workshop include:

(1) In light of the use cases already underway1, what additional use cases and scenarios do you consider to be

appropriate and representative for large-scale experimentation in close association with the Future Internet

PPP and how could this be achieved?

(2) How can we determine the interoperability and synergy between use cases to stimulate fewer, but larger and

stronger, use case trials?

(3) Can we exploit the common enablers concept and the open platform philosophy to stimulate a massive

expansion of the development of applications and services in Europe?

(4) How can we prioritise use cases with significant societal and economical impact

(5) What sort of pan European experimentation environment do you consider necessary for large scale service

trials in your use area? How can we get to this ideal scenario?

(6) What can we expect from the FI-PPP and its future calls in terms of supporting 3rd

party innovation?

(7) How can the remaining FP7 calls and the Eureka CELTIC calls and other Eureka clusters assist with this

initiative?

(8) Should we develop a European Use Case Factory to focus the inclusive discussions on cross sector

collaboration?

(9) How should the discussion and community be organised to ensure involvement, influence and active

contribution from the sector players?

(10) What demands should we place on the Common Strategic Framework for Research and Innovation to

continue this initiative beyond 2013?

Workshop Format:The workshop will be organized as a sequential discussion as all participants should hear the opinions of the different

sectors, participate in the discussions and the resulting proposals should be as inclusive as possible. Participation is

actively encouraged from the diverse Usage Areas representatives, particularly those who are not currently involved in

the future internet initiatives, as well as representatives of the Future Internet PPP projects recently selected.

The EX-FI and CONCORD projects are supported by the European Commission under the 7th Framework programme.

Expected Results:The primary result of the workshop should be an increased awareness of the opportunities for further Usage Area

involvement, the opportunities for developing consistent services and applications, and an emerging consensus on the

need for cross sector collaboration. The conclusions should consider how to bring the community together and

prioritise activities for the next period into an action plan designed to stimulate the development of advanced internet

technologies, services and content and encourage their deployment into the fabric of European society and industry.
