FIWARE: transforming Smart Cities into engines of growthJuanjo HierroTelefonica I+D. FIWARE Coordinator and Chief Architectjuanjose.hierro@telefonica.com, @JuanjoHierro (twitter)

Cities are where daily life and businessesactually happen …

1

Smart Cities are not simply about more efficientmunicipality services but transforming Cities into

the ICT platform enabling economy growth andimprovement of the well-being through innovation

Why FIWARE?

2

3

Because it brings the right standards fordeveloping “Smart” apps/services

Because it allows your city to join forceswith others to build a sustainable market

Because it’s not just about technology

4

Because it brings the right standards fordeveloping “Smart” apps/services

Does this guy look “smart”? … why?

5

Being “Smart” requires first being “Aware” Systems dealing with management of city services or third-party apps (subject

to access control policies) can both consume and update context information

Overall city governance can rely on context information available (real-time andhistoric) to monitor KPIs and run BigData analysis

Context Information

City Governance System

City Services

Third-party Apps

Different sources of context need to be handled Context info may come from many sources which may vary over time:

• Existing systems dealing with management of municipal services• Sensor networks (Internet of Things)• Third-party smart city apps

Source of info will be transparent to applications accessing context info

7

Street = “X”, traffic = high

What’s the current traffic instreet “X”?

Standard API

A sensor in a pedestrian street

The Public Bus TransportManagement system Citizen’s car app or

smartphone

Notify me the changes oftraffic in street “X”

A non-intrusive approach is required

Capable to integrate with existing or future systems dealing withmanagement of municipal services without impact in their architectures

Info about attributes of one entity may come from different systems,which work either as Context Producers or Context Providers

Applications rely on a single model adapting to systems of each city

attribute “location” attribute “driver”

Context Producer Context Provider

Connecting to the Internet of Things

Capturing data from, or Acting upon, IoT devices should be as easyas to read/change the value of attributes linked to context entitiesusing a Context Broker

9

Context Broker

Standard APIStandard API

GET <Oauth token>/V1/contextEntities/lamp1/attributes/presenceSensor

PUT <Oauth token>/V1/contextEntities/lamp1/attributes/status“light on”

Setting up the value of attribute“status” to “light on” triggersexecution of a function in the IoTdevice that switches the lamp on

Issuing a get operation on the“presenceSensor” attributeenables the application to getinfo about presence of peoplenear the lamp

FIWARE NGSI materializes a cornerstonePivotal Point of Interoperability (PPI) NGSI brings a simple yet powerful Restful API enabling access to

context information, supporting Linked Data

Any web developer can build applications the very first day

FIWARE NGSI is capable to deal with the wide variety of IoT protocols today

Rather than trying to solve the battle of standards at IoT level, it brings astandard where no standard exists today: context information management

Smart Cities as platforms for innovative apps The city may export part of the context information to third-parties

Going further, it may allow third-applications to enrich contextinformation, by means of adding new attributes and entities

This leads to potential innovative business models and fuels theEconomy of Data

Launch of the OASC initiative

1st wave of OASC cities* announced at CeBIT:• Denmark: Copenhagen, Aarhus and Aalborg• Finland: Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Oulu, Tampere, Turku• Spain: Valencia, Santander, Málaga, Sevilla• Portugal: Porto, Lisbon, Fundão, Palmela, Penela and

Águeda• Belgium: Brussels, Ghent and Antwerp• Italy: Milan, Palermo and Lecce• Brazil: Olinda (Recife), Anapólis (Goiás), Porto Alegre

(Rio Grande do Sul), Vitória (Espírito Santo), Colinas deTocantins (Tocantins) and Taquaritinga (São Paulo)

Background document describing the vision

Cities have to sign a Letter of Intent (LoI) where they:• Endorse OASC principles• Prove their capacity to implement the principles

FIWARE Mission

Goal: capture opportunities derived from the new waveof digitalization of life and businesses that is coming

Strategy: Build a sustainable innovation ecosystemaround open standards supporting development ofsmart applications in multiple sectors

Pillars:• FI-WARE : a generic, open standard platform which

serve the needs of developers in multiple domains• FIWARE Lab : a meeting point where innovation happens

and data providers plus entrepreneurs can be engaged• : a program that funds developers and

entrepreneurs, and ignites roll-out of the ecosystem• FIWARE mundus : reach a global footprint, opening to

regions that share the same vision and ambition• iHubs : provide local support to the
