FI-PPP Key Requirements

• Technology Foundation: commoditisation

– uniform (and inexpensive) access to FI resources

– reduce application development costs

• Use Cases: validation and expansion

– increase range of available FI applications

– increase user demand for FI applications

• Capacity Building: defragmentation

– allow applications developers and service providers to target a European market, not one city or sensor network at a time

– make FI infrastructure installations multi-functional, not one application at a time

Capacity Building

TF provides interoperability CB provides capacity

More Applications in More Smart Cities/Spaces/

Regions/Enterprises

Lower Application Development Time

and Cost

Greater Returns on Investments

Simpler Access via Software Enablers


• Dedicated or shared? – shared is typically cheaper

– dedicated provides greater certainty over performance and privacy/security

• Centralised or distributed? – centralised eases portability

for data analytics components

– centralised brings more data together for analysis

– distributed eliminates critical dependencies (economic and security dependencies)

FI-PPP Trade Offs Example: Shared or separate back-office services?

Dedicated or shared data centre(s)?

Distributed data sources and user communities

07 May 2013 (C) IT Innovation Centre and other FI-PPP participants, 2013



Infrastructure Challenges Concern Location-centric, e.g.

embedded sensor nets User-centric, e.g. fixed /mobile social networks

Resource-centric, e.g. data transfer, storage, processing

User adoption

Need multi-purpose infra-structure enabling a wide range of applications.

Need transparency and reliability. Content regulation across borders.

Often decided by application providers, not directly by the end users. Driven by price, branding, jurisdiction, etc.

Security Many sensor test beds seem to lack basic security. User tracking and cyber-terrorism still a concern.

Basic security is addressed. But user profiling/tracking is still a concern, along with cyber crime against users.

Basic security is addressed. But secure value chains are not well supported. Hard to maintain end user trust.

Interop-erability

Transfer of applications between locations is still difficult.

Technical access is not a problem. But user lock-in and monopolies are a concern.

Cloud Computing Strategy already helping normalise technical interfaces and business terms/processes.

Sustain-ability

Often depends on public funding (local, regional or national). Fragmentation makes value less evident to potential investors.

Valorisation depends on scale of user community. Need to show value (over Facebook, etc.). Specialised networks may need public support.

Commercial service model clearly works in many cases. Need to show added value from FI (over Amazon, etc.).
