Communication Networks, Content & Technology 19 September 2013

2. The ICT world is changing
Sample of 50+ global ICT firms
Source: European Commission
US: n = 27
Asia: n = 11
EU: n = 18
Net sales % change
2012Q2 vs 2007Q2
US: +48%
Asia: +50%
EU: -12%
Platform-based businesses on any possible
device are outperforming in sales and
profits any other ICT business.
Platform-based business models have been
the main drivers of US net sales growth
together with leadership in mobile devices,
apps stores, microelectronics for mobile
devices, software, and IP networks.

3. Platforms
• Common base
• Openish
• Platform vs product
– Essential function
– Easy to build-upon
– Difficult to substitute for

4. Platforms
Network effects
• 1-sided
• 2-sided

Examples of phase 1
http://www.fi-ppp.eu/projects/
•Usage area requirements
•Generic Enablers vs
•Specific Enablers
•Conceptual prototypes

9. FI-PPP
Phase 2: expectations
• Meeting programme objectives and requirements
• Working experimentation sites building upon Generic
Enablers (as provided by FI-WARE) complemented by
use case specific capabilities;
• Selected test applications implemented on these
experimentation sites;
• Validation of the openness and versatility of the
Core Platform and its software development kit;
• Prepare the ground for phase 3
• Open calls (around Summer-Autumn 2013)

14. FI-WARE
Basic principles of GEs
GE specifications are open (i.e. public and royalty-
free)
Any implementation of a Generic Enabler (GEI) is
made up of a set of components which together
supports a concrete set of Functions and APIs that
are in compliance with the open specifications
published for that GE
There might be multiple compliant
implementations of a given GE
The FI-WARE project is delivering an
implementation of FI-WARE GEs based upon results
of previous R&D projects

15. FI-WARE
Basic facts about GEs
On 31st July 2013 more than 45 GEIs have been
made available via catalogue.fi-ware.eu
Terms and conditions for the usage of GEIs have
been defined according to:
• Experimentation/testing within the FI-PPP
• FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab (FI-LAB)
• External availability
Some of GEIs are Open Source and all will be after
the Technology Foundation Extension (phase 3)
All GEIs have at least a large industry as GEI owner

25. • To start with 5 core sites and develop a process for
providing these test infrastructures with the necessary
adaptation and upgrades to support the FI-PPP Enablers
from FI-WARE
• To develop the capability to federate them, so that
additional nodes can be added
• To build up the test infrastructure capacity and capability
to support the massive increase in FI-PPP application/
service developers in Phase 3 (2013 Open Call)
• To validate the capabilities of the test infrastructures to
support the FI-PPP Enablers from FI-WARE

The XIFI goals

26. 26
XIFI
FI-PPP Boards, Advisory
structures, Work groups
• Appoint mandated members
to SB, AB and work groups
• Influence FI-PPP strategy and
direction
• Receive and process
requirements on XIFI from peer
projects
• Provide requirements and
feedback to the peer projects
• Actively participate in programme
wide activities e.g. dissemination,
exploitation, standards, etc.
XIFI
Use Cases
Early Trials
• Offer core nodes for early trials
• Upgrade early trials’ infrastructures
to FI-PPP standards:
• Integration of GEs
• Supported functionalities
• Interfacing requirements
• Deployability of GEs
• Virtualization requirements
• Usability constraints
XIFI
FI-WARE
• Adopt GE components and
specifications
• Integrate FI-WARE GEs into XIFI
platform instances
• Test GEs deployability and
interoperability and give feedback
• Generate additional requirements for
GEs, e.g. management and control
interfaces
• Identify missing functionality
• Trigger necessary activities, e.g.
Interoperability/Conformance testing,
Certification?
The XIFI technical approach

27. The XIFI technical approach
The initial 5 sites:
• Ireland
- Waterford TSSG, HEAnet
• France
- Orange, ImaginLab
• Spain
- Telefónica, Red.es
• Germany
- Deutsche Telekom, Fraunhofer
• Italy
- Telecom Italia, Trentino
Network, CREATE-NET

Sevilla
Trento
Berlin
Brittany
Waterford

28. 3-Step approach:
1. Build the backbone between the 5 initial
core sites. These form a federated and
virtualised capacity layer to facilitate the
deployment and interoperability between
the FI-PPP core platform and other
platforms across Europe. Consider
aspects, such as:
– The access network
– The experimental nature of some of the
networks
– The need for data centers
2. Validate the capabilities of the Generic
Enablers on the core platform.
3. Enlarge the network to reach the Use
Case Pilots, which may be using FIRE
testbeds, EIT ICT Labs or private
infrastructures. This will be done
through an Open Call process.

FAQs
• CP-CSA instrument?
– Most cases are mostly CSA, little CP
– Subgranting: 100% funded and is not the CP part
– CP part for RTD activities on e.g. making platforms
available
• Possibility to limit participation in open calls to
certain countries/regions?
– Open calls must be open to all SMEs and web
entrepreneurs
– Certain skills and competences might be required
• Need to use FP7 rules?
– Yes, “adhere to FP7 standards with respect to
evaluation, conflict of interest and [confidentiality]” and
wide promotion of open calls
– No for subgranting (tbc)
