11 The EC is making a strong bet on FIWARE Mrs. Neelie Kroes launched FIWARE LAB at Campus Party Europe in London (Sept full speech here) FI-WARE is one way we are levelling a playing field: a project to make innovative technologies available for all. Smart cities are a great example They create platforms, and use them, making open data and applications available to citizens, to developers, to innovators, to come up with yet more ideas and this is where initiatives like the FI-LAB come in. Led by industry, this is a major investment in generic technology. She also made a reference to FIWARE Lab at the launch of the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities (Sept full speech here) Just earlier this week I launched the Future Internet lab That's something that you can turn into real results, real jobs, and real innovation. European platforms helping European innovation in European cities. Additional mentions by the EC compiled here 10

13 FIWARE technologies FIWARE brings the right standards for developing Smart apps/services FIWARE allows cities to join forces with others to build a sustainable market 12

14 FIWARE technologies 13

15 FIWARE = advanced OpenStack-based Cloud capabilities + library of APIs that ease development of applications Driven by implementation Sustainability ensured 14

16 FIWARE Generic Enablers (GEs) A FIWARE Generic Enabler (GE): set of general-purpose platform functions available through APIs Building with other GEs a FIWARE Reference Architecture FIWARE GE Specifications are open (public and royalty-free) FIWARE GE implementation (FIWARE GEi): Platform product that implements a given GE Open Spec There might be multiple compliant GEis of each GE Open Spec One open source reference implementation of each FIWARE GE (FIWARE GEri): Well-known open source license Publicly available Technical Roadmap updated in every release Available FIWARE GEis, GEris and incubated enablers are published on the FIWARE Catalogue 15

17 FIWARE GEs ( Cloud Data/Media Context Mgmt IoT Services Enablement Data/Services Delivery Advanced Web UI Security I2ND Federation of infrastructures (private/public regions) Automated GE deployment Complete Context Management Platform Integration of Data and Media Content Easy plug&play of devices using multiple protocols Automated Measurements/Action Context updates Visualization of data (operation dashboards) Publication of data sets/services Easy incorporation of advanced 3D and AR features Visual representation of context information Security Monitoring Built-in Identity/Access/Privacy Management Advanced networking (SDN) and middleware Interface to robots 16

20 Ecosystem and platform: two tied concepts ICT Platform (APIs, data models) Digital ecosystem FIWARE is an ecosystems enabler! 19

21 Because it brings the right standards for developing Smart apps/services 20

22 Being Smart requires first being Aware Nowadays applications require gathering and managing context information, referring to values of attributes characterizing entities relevant to the application NGSI brings a simple yet powerful API enabling access to context information Application Bus Location No. passengers Driver Licence plate Context Information Citizen Name-Surname Birthday Preferences Location ToDo list Shop Location Business name Franchise offerings 21

23 Multiple system/apps can exploit context info Any system or third-party apps can both consume and submit context information The overall system can rely on context information available (real-time and historic) to monitor and manage KPIs City Services City Services City Services City Governance System Third-party Apps Bus Location No. passengers Driver Licence plate Context Information Citizen Name-Surname Birthday Preferences Location ToDo list Shop Location Business name Franchise offerings 22

24 FIWARE NGSI: pivotal API Simple yet powerful API enabling updates and access to context information from different sources (not just IoT!) which may vary over time Sensor networks (Internet of Things) Existing systems Enables a key concept which was missing: real-time open data 10_Open_RESTful_API_Specification (born within OMA on submitting to ETSI) What s What s the current the current traffic in temperature street in X? place X? NGSI Standard API Notify me the changes of temperature traffic in street in place X X Place Street = X, = X, temperature traffic = high = 30º It s too hot! The Public Bus Transport Management system A sensor in a pedestrian street 23 Citizen s Citizen s car app or smartphone

25 Connecting to the Internet of Things Capturing data from, or acting upon, IoT devices should be as easy as to read/change the value of attributes linked to context entities using a Context Broker GET <Oauth token> /V1/contextEntities/lamp1/attributes/presenceSensor Standard API PUT <Oauth token> /V1/contextEntities/lamp1/attributes/status light on Standard API Context Broker Issuing a get operation on the presencesensor attribute enables the application to get info about presence of people near the lamp Setting up the value of attribute status to light on triggers execution of a function in the IoT device that switches the lamp on 24

26 Integration with sensor networks 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 a standard where no standard exists today: context information management NGSI API (northbound interface) FIWARE Context Broker create/monitor IoT Agent Manager IoT Agent-1 IoT Agent-2 IoT Agent-n FIWARE Backend IoT Device Management (southbound interfaces) ETSI M2M MQTT IETF CoAP 25

27 A non-intrusive approach is possible Capable to integrate with existing or future systems 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 Application/Service Standard API System A attribute location attribute driver System B Context Producer Context Provider 26

35 The Open and Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative Common APIs FIWARE NGSI to start with Standard Data Models CitySDK and more Platform for Open Data/API publication Driven by implementation approach More info: 34

36 Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative principles Common API (FIWARE NGSI) Open Platform: FIWARE Driven by Implementation Open Data (CKAN) (Fiware, Fiware Lab, accelerator ) City Model (CitySDK) 35

37 Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative principles Common API (FIWARE NGSI) Adoption of a lightweight, open-license standard API to gather, publish, query and subscribe-to real-time context information describing what s going on in the city, enabling portability Open Data (CKAN) Open Platform: FIWARE Driven by Implementation (Fiware, Fiware Lab, accelerator ) City Model (CitySDK) 36

38 Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative principles Adoption of a flexible, easily-distributable open data publication platform which any organisation can set up at a low cost Common API (FIWARE NGSI) Open Data (CKAN) Open Platform: FIWARE Driven by Implementation (Fiware, Fiware Lab, accelerator ) City Model (CitySDK) 37

39 Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative principles Common API (FIWARE NGSI) Adoption of a simple initial standard data model required for effective interoperability when exchanging context information, also portability Open Data (CKAN) Open Platform: FIWARE Driven by Implementation (Fiware, Fiware Lab, accelerator ) City Model (CitySDK) 38

40 Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative principles Open Data (CKAN) Common API (FIWARE NGSI) Open Platform: FIWARE Driven by Implementation (Fiware, Fiware Lab, accelerator ) City Model (CitySDK) Adoption of a driven by implementation approach towards experimental consolidation of initial and new standard data models. The goal is that communities and developers can (1) co-create their services based on basic but commonly-defined data models, (2) influence the definition of new models by implementing and experimenting, and (3) help curate existing data models. 39

41 Open and Agile Smart Cities: Who Launch in March 2015 at CeBIT. Cities have to sign a Letter of Intent (LoI) where they: Endorse OASC principles Prove their capacity to implement the principles 40

42 How can standard Smart City data models easing common solutions be defined? The problem Existence of a single API (FIWARE NGSI) reduces costs when porting Smart City apps from one city to another Without standard data models, Smart City apps would need to come with adapters that transform data made available by the city so that it complies with the data model handled by the app, that has been proved to be easy with FIWARE NGSI (overall if NGSI is at both ends) Creation of standard Smart City data models would allow to avoid performing this kind of adaptation and make portability of Smart City apps across Smart City platforms a pretty straightforward task How creation of these standard Smart City data models can be fostered? 41

43 How can standard Smart City data models easing common solutions be defined? The solution A design by committee approach would not be the best approach: Such kind of approach has proven to be wrong in many other standardization efforts in the past Who grants that the defined model is suitable for what apps need and developers want to have? We need a driven by implementation approach: Identify real applications that solve a real problem and cities would like to see running in their cities Check what data models they have been designed to work with and take them as input Carry out a data curation process where input data models converge into a single common model A set of standard data models and soon a portfolio of killer Smart City apps will emerge! 42
