The ICT landscape

Data network revolution

Internet of Things

Open delivery platforms

4

New data networks, using LTE are being deployed. This means a huge data capacity increase for the customer and a technical challenge, which will require a huge investment

New intelligent devices and sensors offer new possibilities for information and analysis and open the door to new automation and control possibilities

A new way of service deployment:• Use only what you need

and pay only what you use (SDP->SDF->Cloud)

• Open innovation ecosystems where apps from different parties may be combined and delivered multi-screen

I II III


The Problem Space

Two dimensions of stake holders• Consumers – People and Business

• Providers – Platform and Apps/Services Providers, the later dependent on the former

Platform Provider

Apps/Services Provider

People Businesses

Consumers


Consumers: What people demand

6

Manage explosion of data / info

Data has growth 10-fold in last 5 years (from ~177 exabytes in 2006 up to ~ 1,700 exabytes in 2011): scale in prosumers and sensors will make data grow even at higher rates

Need to filter and exploit what is relevant for me, now, here

challenges

Smart solutions for daily life situations

Improved means for communication and collaboration

Security, Privacy and Trust

People want to find and easily access applications that assist them in daily life situations: this would transform home and cities in better places to life

Access should be provided anywhere, anytime, from any device

People wish to share content/data and applications with others They wish to learn what has been useful/interesting to others,

specially those they trust or belong to their social network All of this in real-time, on the go

Internet is not longer an experimental tool: Internet will be perceived as a basic need for social survival of the individual

People want to govern access to their data and keep it safe People want to understand who they can trust


Consumers: What businesses demand

7

Get closer to customers

Be able to exploit data about customers in order to better suite their needs: data from interaction or available on the Internet

Not only data about customers but also their current context Be more social, enabling the participation of customers

challenges

Be more efficient and agile

Remove barriers to growth

Security and Trust

Rapid development + continuous adjustment to customer needs Optimized time to market involving integration with partners Higher degree of automation in processes enabled by new

capabilities such as access to the Internet of Things, Context, …

Need to hide the complexity of scaling the ICT infrastructure needed to run their businesses, just pay per actual use

Be able to reach the global market of users

Keep business data safe Be able to establish trustworthy transactions with customers and partners Be protected against any malicious action damaging its services and

reputation


What application providers demand

8

Able to develop smart apps

Exploiting context in its widest meaning (user preferences, data captured from the internet of things, …)

Able to adapt to the long tail of users Powerful but ease to use APIs

challenges

Rely on standard interfaces

Scale up to reach global dimension

Facilitating innovative business models

Develop once for all devices and managed things Have a single platform, enabling economy of scale Protect investment in the long run

Deliver Applications as a Service, multi-tenant, accessible from anywhere and any device

Be able to scale ICT infrastructures on demand as market for the applications grows

Be able to allow combination of your application with those from others as well as with communication services (cross-selling)

Support innovative revenue share models Be able to integrate innovation from the crowd: crowd-sourcing

What is the PPP future of Internet?

The FI-PPP is the name of an initiative to promote applicability of Internet to businesses

The FI-PPP focuses on the development of an (open) Application Platform providing standard interfaces

Validation of the Platform Instances is supported through large scale trials involving real users

11


Main objectives of the FI PPP

12

Increase the effectiveness of business processes and the operation of infrastructures and applications of high societal value by making use of reappraised internet architectures, services and technologies in large-scale application contexts

Lever the Internet infrastructure as an open, secure and trusted platform for building networked applications on the basis of user-centered open innovation schemes

Foster cross-sector industrial partnerships built around Future Internet value chains, Participation of the public sector in the PPP will also be a key asset to progress in non-technological issues

Involving users and public authorities at local, regional and national levels

Maximise the societal benefit through involvement of civil society & consumer organisations where needed

Address regulatory and policy issues such as interoperability, openness, standards, data security and privacy within the context of the Future Internet complex and ‘smart’ usage scenarios

Creation of new European-scale markets for smart infrastructures with integrated ICT functionalities

12


AmbitionsWe need to keep a balance between enthusiasm and realism

We want to implement an advanced future internet

We want to set standards on the way so that the results can be sustainable and worth investing in

We want to demonstrate the viability and enable a new market

We believe:

That the combination of ICT with other sectors and the cooperation between the different sectors will open new areas of growth for European industry

That we can accelerate Future Internet take-up through demonstration

That we can gain technical and economic leadership for Europe

That we can create the framework for a new form of PPP in FP8

A Focused ProgrammeProjects that are interdependentResults that are sharedGoals that cannot be achieved in isolationMetrics that measure impact and sustainability

A multidisciplinary and integrated approach, where massively distributed services and applications are run over large scale and secure internet infrastructures is the only means to deal with the increasing complexity of intertwined application and service demands

TheFuture

NetworkedSociety

15


Cross Sector and Sustainable

Stand alone solutions developed in any one sector will not provide the efficiency and productivity gains that a networked solution will be able to provide and that the market can support

New partners in a Win-Win scenario

ICT grows the services market

Industry sectors get multiple advantages:• Improvements in their running processes

• New opportunities to sell aggregated data

• Lower costs due to large scale markets for core functions

Users win too:• More security and trust in networked services

• Better availability and response from their services

• Benefits from economies of scale

• Ability to handle individualisation on a large scale

16


Main challengesUtilities and Environment,

• The main challenges of the PPP related to Utilities and environment is to specify, design, prototype and test a Global Urban Service Platform that will give applications unified, standard access to urban installations. This platform could also offer a hosting solution to small and medium sized urban-service operators

eHealth, • to specify, design, prototype and test a eHealth Service Platform that will give doctors patients

and applications unified, standard access to medical information and support service features such as telerehabilitation, vital signs monitoring (automatic monitoring with established thresholds that trigger alarms), alerts, telepresence of health care professionals, remote medical administration monitoring, medication reminders, appointment reminders, location tracking, context information processing, etc.

Smart Energy Grid,• designing, enabling, and advancing the integration of the physical architecture of energy

generation, provisioning and consumption with a concurrent open and shared ICT architecture

Transport, Mobility and Logistics• To accelerate the deployment of these added-value services, the PPP will aim at defining APIs,

defining interoperability guidelines and encouraging technological enhancements for communication between vehicles, systems and other devices, and open platforms

Content management • to provide a unified and consolidated interface between the hardware & network and the

applications & services running on the infrastructure enabling consumers to use any device or application to browse, search, purchase and consume content from a distributed collection of content catalogues at a European or global level

Provide a platform and infrastructure to run and test all these

Core Platform Instances and Use Case Trials

37


Core Platform Instances, Generic Enablers and Use Case TrialsFuture Internet Applications run on top of “FI Core Platform Instances” built

upon selection and assembly of “Platform Products”. These products implement “Generic Enablers” of the “FI Core Platform”

Our benefit: GE-Components are harmonized across different usage areas

Use Case trials will consist of application scenarios running on top of FI Core Platform Instances, involving real users

What is a FI-WARE Generic Enabler (GE)?

A FI-WARE Generic Enabler (GE) is a functional building block of FI-WARE

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

There might be multiple compliant implementations of a given GE

Each Architecture Chapter in FI-WARE will lead to definition of a set of GEs

39


Elements & Functions of FI Core Platform

The FI Core Platform comprises a set of technological “Generic Enablers” which are considered general purpose and common to several current and future “usage areas”

Generic Enablers (therefore, the FI Core Platform) will provide open (and royalty free) interfaces for development of Applications
