This document discusses FIWARE, an open source platform and ecosystem for building smart applications. Some key points: - FIWARE provides a reference platform of over 60 open-source generic enablers (GEs) and APIs for developing IoT, big data, and cloud-based applications. - It aims to capture opportunities from digital transformation through an open ecosystem that supports entrepreneurs, developers and technology providers. - The FIWARE Lab provides experimental instances of the FIWARE platform in the cloud to support innovation. Several cities are connected to the Lab to pilot smart city applications. - An accelerator program funds startups and entrepreneurs, and the FIWARE Ops tools help deploy and manage FIWARE platform instances.

8. Why an open standard SW 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
• 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

30. Building FIWARE Instances/ Specific Platforms
 Future Internet Applications run on top of “FIWARE Instances” that are
built by “FIWARE Instance Providers” upon:
• selection of FIWARE GEis (products) from the FIWARE Catalogue.
• assembly of selected FIWARE GEis with added-value components.

Deployment
Deployment of basic Cloud Hosting GEs and Monitoring Adapters in a FIWARE node
Federation Management
Federate a new FIWARE node within a given FIWARE instance (e.g., the FIWARE Lab)
Connectivity Management
Manage connectivity of services across FIWARE nodes of a FIWARE instance
Service Offer Management
Registration and deployment of additional Generic Enablers, Specific Enablers and
complementary Future Internet Facilities

32. Summary: the FIWARE Program
 Goal: capture opportunities derived from the new wave
of digitalization of life and businesses
 Strategy: Build an ecosystem that will work as catalyst
for capturing the opportunities. Lead standardization
in Smart Cities and Industrial IoT (Internet of Things)
 Pillars:
• FI-WARE : a generic, open standard platform which
serve the needs of developers in multiple domains
• FIWARE Lab : a meeting point where innovation takes
place, an opportunities can be incubated
• : a program that funds developers and
entrepreneurs, and ignites roll-out of the ecosystem
• FIWARE Ops : the suite of tools easing deployment and
operation of FI-WARE instance nodes
 Global footprint: open to regions sharing the ambition
