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

Sustainability

ensured

Driven by

implementation

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)

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

Open Source. Avoid vendor lock-in

You have the control

11

Not only platform, tools…this is

powered by data!

12

A live instance of FIWARE

available to developers for

free experimentation

Going from clusters to ecosystems Cross-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

Success Stories

FIWARE as “de facto” standard for Smart Cities

FIWARE vision for Smart Cities is getting traction:

• Beyond more efficient management of city services,

transforming cities into ICT platforms for applications

• Non-intrusive, capable to co-exist with the legacy

• Standardization driven by implementation: FIWARE

acceleration program may play a relevant role

Some cities already connecting to FIWARE Lab:

• Italy: Trento, Torino, Veneto

• Spain: Valencia, Sevilla, Málaga, Santander, Barcelona, …

• Finland: Helsinki, Espoo

• Netherlands: Amsterdam

• Portugal: Lisbon

• Ongoing discussion with other cities

20

Being “Smart” requires first being “Aware”

Implementing a Smart City requires gathering and managing context

information describing the current and historic “state” of the city

Context information refers to the values of attributes characterizing

entities relevant to city services, governance and third-party apps
