FIWARE: Challenges & Opportunities

FIWARE in a nutshell

Value Proposition: FIWARE USP

The Future: Sustainability

2

The wide context

3

Understanding FIWARE (Open Standard Platform)(advanced OpenStack-based Cloud + rich library of Generic Enablers)

4

Sustainability ensured

Driven by implementati

on

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

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

Not only platform, tools…this is powered by data!

GENUINE

A live instance of FIWARE available to developers for free experimentation 

17

Going from clusters to ecosystemsCross-fertilization between sectors; avoid silos

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

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
