The ICT world is changing
... Future Internet Applications ...

• Service markets/ecosystems: Availability of better services/components
that should be used in the application
• Individualization: Customers increasingly strive for individualized / on-demand
solutions and services; while “traditionally” systems were designed
for a multitude of end-users belonging to the same class and thus following
the same or similar processes (in fact current systems although can be
parameterized they implement the same process – aka business process),
new systems should easily implement individualized processes as each end
user might him/herself in different context of use from other end users
• Big Data: Big Data is a fact. Big Data materializes, from a technological
point of view, that context changes enormously in very short time frames
• Failures / Violations: Due to the distributed nature and decentralized
ownership and control of FI applications, SLA violations of used services, or
even discontinuation of such services, may have significant impact on
quality
• Business models: Business ecosystems and technology foster emergence
of ever new business models and opportunities

... Sources of changes relevant at application level ....


The living lab is a research concept. A living lab is a user-centred, open-innovation
ecosystem, often operating in a territorial context (e.g. city, agglomeration,
region), integrating concurrent research and innovation processes within a public-private-
people partnership.

The concept is based on a systematic user co-creation approach integrating research
and innovation processes. These are integrated through the co-creation, exploration,
experimentation and evaluation of innovative ideas, scenarios, concepts and related
technological artefacts in real life use cases. Such use cases involve user
communities, not only as observed subjects but also as a source of creation.

User centred research methods, such as action research, community
informatics, contextual design user-centered design, participatory design, empathic
design, emotional design and other usability methods, already exist but fail to
sufficiently empower users for co-creating into open development environments.
More recently, the Web 2.0 has demonstrated the positive impact of involving user
communities in new product development such as mass collaboration projects
(e.g. Wikipedia) in collectively creating new contents and applications.

The FIWARE Community

The EC is making a strong bet on FI-WARE/FI-LAB

Neelie Kroes launched FI-LAB at Campus Party
Europe in London (Sept 2013 - 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 FI-LAB at the launch of
the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities (Sept 2013 -
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.”

Here they are (all): Apps
ApplicationMashup - Wirecloud UPM
Offers a composition editor and execution engine that allows end users with little or no programming skills to
create and run a composite web application front-end as a mashup built from widgets and operators relaying on
backend data sources and services
Business Calculator iMinds
The Business Calculator is a set of interconnected services which enable the user to model and simulate the
different revenue and cost aspects of a new or existing business offering. It is a platform as it allows multiple
approaches to be plugged in and linked at run-time to the overall external interface.
Business Modeler iMinds
The Business Modeler is a part of the Applications/Services ecosystem and provides a web-based graphical
tool aimed at business experts for creating and evaluating high-level business models. It allows them to
get an estimation of the profitability of a certain model and define value and money streams quickly and
transparently.
Ligth Semantic Composition Editor - COMPEL AtoS
The Light Semantic Composition is a graphical tool to generate service compositions through BPM files. The
main drawback of service composition is the difficulty for the business managers to design service compositions
with any technology knowledge. Thanks to semantics, this composer close the gap with business people making
use of business domain ontologies that hide as maximum all the technical details.
Marketplace SAP
The Marketplace provides functionality necessary for bringing together offering and demand for making
business. These functions include basic services for registering business entities, publishing and retrieving
offerings and demands, search and discover offerings according to specific consumer requirements as well as
lateral functions like review, rating and recommendation.
Mediator TI
Mediator APIs allow to create and handle mediation Services i.e. services that can be invoked to call a target
service adding specific mediation logics to the existing target service basic interface and behaviour. In particular
the Mediator allows you to
•expose a REST web service as a SOAP web service
•expose a service with an xml payload with any different xml structure for the payload
•expose old ASCII delimited message used through old protocols such as FTP, as web services with an xml
payload, both SOAP or REST
27

Here they are (all): Apps – cont.
Repository SAP
The Repository is a place to store service models, especially service descriptions but also other models required
by components of the overall delivery framework (e.g. technical models for service composition and mashup).
The repository provides a common location for storage (centrally or distributed and replicated), reference and/or
safety. The use of a repository is required in order to appear at the marketplace or other tools referring to a
number of central repositories for information relevant for interoperation of the enablers and roles within the FI-Ware
28
platform.
Registry SAP
The Registry Enabler is used to store information on service instances necessary for run-time execution.
Revenue Settlement and Sharing System TID
The Revenue Sharing System (RSS) GE is in charge of distributing the revenues originated by the usage of a
given application among several stakeholders involved. In particular, it focuses on sharing part of the revenue
generated by an application between the marketplace provider and the service provider(s) responsible for the
application. Note that, in the case of composite services, more than one service provider may have to receive a
share of the revenues.
Store - WStore UPM
Store is the GE for selling services to both consumers and developers of Future Internet applications and
services and for end-to-end managing of offerings and sales.
While a marketplace is a platform for many stores to place their offerings to a broader audience and consumers
to search and compare services and find the store where to buy, a store is owned by a store owner who has full
control over a specific service/app portfolio and offerings. The final business transaction (buying) is done at the
store and the whole back office process (end-to-end managing of offerings and sales) is handled by the store.

Here they are (all): Cloud
IaaS DCRM IBM, Intel
The DataCenter Resource Management GE provides the basic Virtual Machine (VM) hosting capabilities, as well
as management of the corresponding resources within the DataCenter that hosts a particular FI-WARE Cloud
Instance.
IaaS Service Management - Claudia TID
Self-service provisioning and life cycle management of Organizations, Virtual Data Centers, Virtual Appliances and
Virtual Machines and automatic scaling of Virtual Machine based on rules. This extends the basic functionalities
offered by DCRM GE in order to cope with elasticity management, vApps and Virtual Data Centers.
Job Scheduler – ProActive Cloud Job Scheduler TID
Thanks to jobs portability, homogeneous management of computing resources and scheduling flexibility over them,
this general-purpose GE will enable you (user/developer/data centre admin) to increase your productivity.
Object Storage IBM
This GE comprises a storage service that operates at a more abstract level than that of block-based storage (e.g.
iSCSI-, AoE-type technologies). Rather than storing a sequence of bits and bytes, it stores items as units of both
opaque data and meta-data. An example of object-based storage is Amazon’s S3 service offering where data
(objects) are stored in buckets (containers of objects).
PaaS Manager - Pegasus TID
Self-Service provisioning and life cycle management of middleware including the provisioning of the required
virtual resources at IaaS and configuration of the whole software stack on that virtual resources.
Self-Service Interfaces – Cloud Portal UPM
Self Service Interfaces for Cloud Hosting
Software Deployment & Configuration – Sagitta TID
Sagitta (the Software Deployment and Configuration -SDC- GE), is the key enabler to support automated
deployment (installation and configuration) of software on running virtual machines. As part of the complete
process of deployment of applications, the aim of Sagitta is to deploy software product instances upon request of
the user using the API or through the Cloud Portal.
29

Here they are (all): Data/Context management
Big Data Analysis - Cosmos TID
This GE offers a continuous solution for both Big Data crunching and Big Data Streaming. A key characteristic of this GE is
that it would present a unified set of tools and APIs allowing developers to program the analysis on large amount of data
and extract relevant insights in both scenarios.
Complex Event Processing – IBM Proactive Technology Online IBM
Complex Event Processing (CEP) is the analysis of event data in real-time to generate immediate insight and enable
instant response to changing conditions. Some functional requirements this technology addresses include event-based
routing, observation, monitoring and event correlation. The technology and implementations of CEP provide means to
expressively and flexibly define and maintain the event processing logic of the application, and in runtime it is designed
to meet all the functional and non-functional requirements without taking a toll on the application performance,
removing one issue from the application developer’s and system managers concerns.
Compressed Domain Video Analysis - Codoan Siemens
The target users of the Compressed Domain Video Analysis GE are all applications that want to extract meaningful
information from video content and that need to automatically find characteristics in video data bases on given tasks.
The GE can work for previously stored video data as well as for video data streams (e.g., received from a camera in real
time).
Location Platform - LOCS Thales
The Location GE in FI-WARE targets any application, GEs in FI-WARE, or any complementary platform enabler, that aims
to retrieve mobile device positions and Location area events. The Location GE is based on various positioning techniques
such as A-GPS, WiFi and Cell-Id whilst taking into account the end-user privacy.
Meta-data Pre-processing – Metadata Preproessor Siemens
Target users are all stakeholders that need to convert metadata formats or need to generate objects (as instantiation of
classes) that carry metadata information. The requirements to transform metadata typically stem from the fact that in
real life various components implementing different metadata formats need to inter-work. However, typically products
from different vendors are plugged together. In this case, the “Metadata Pre-Processor” acts as a mediator between the
various products.
30

Here they are (all): Data/Context management
(cont.)
Publish/Subscribe Broker – Context Awareness Platform TI
Publish/Subscribe GE is a components allowing to publish context information in push (update) mode and
obtain the context data in two modes: pull (on-request) or push (on-subscription). via simple set of REST-like
and REST-ful APIs.
Publish/Subscribe Broker – Orion Context Broker TID
The Orion Context Broker, implementing the NGSI9 and NGSI10 interfaces, allows clients to do several
operations:
•Register context producer applications, e.g. a temperature sensor within a room
•Update context information, e.g. send updates of temperature
•Being notified when changes on context information take place (e.g. the temperature has changed) or with a
given frequency (e.g. get the temperature each minute)
•Query context information. The Orion Context Broker stores context information updated from applications, so
queries are resolved based on that information.
Semantic Annotation TI
Target users are all stakeholders that want to enrich textual data (tags or text) with meaningful and external content.
Semantic Application Support GE ATOS
Target users are mainly ontology engineers and developers of semantically-enabled applications that need RDF storage
and retrieval capabilities.
Stream Oriented - Kurento URJC
The Stream Oriented GE provides a framework devoted to simplify the development of complex interactive
multimedia applications through a rich family of APIs and toolboxes.
31

Here they are (all): I2ND
Cloud Edge Technicolor
The Cloud Edge (aka Cloud Proxy) is a kind of "super gateway". It is located at the borderline between the
WAN and the LAN(s) and is able to locally execute any kind of application inside virtual machines. In other
words, it is a IaaS platform located at the user's premises.
Connected Devices Interface – A-CDI Intel
A-CDI is a JavaScript API initially supporting the Android platform. It will provide a common JavaScript API
across a range of web application frameworks including, Webinos, Tizen, Web Browsers (HTML5), and
PhoneGap. It provides 3 key assets to application developers:
1. A common way to access native device functionality across Web platforms
2. Advanced user experience monitoring and network resources control to ensure user satisfaction
3. Access network connectivity management to monitor, change and improve the device connectivity.
Network Information and Control NSN, Alcatel, UniRoma,
The Network Information and Control (NetIC) Generic Enabler provides the means to optimally exploit the network
capabilities, by means of the implementation of an interfaces and APIs towards networking elements. NetIC will both
expose related network state information to the user of the interface as well as offer a defined level of control and
management of the network.
Service, Capability, Connectivity, and Control DT
The S3C is the central point of the Interface to network and devices. It includes features which can be used by
network operators as well as network information and network control features that can be used by application
developers. S3C GE can be seen as the GE to run and steer the network infrastructure. The baseline
underlying network management system is the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) specified by 3GPP.
32

Here they are (all): IoT
(Backend) DeviceManagment – IDAS TID
This enabler is aimed to large IoT deployments (>1000 devices). It collects all observations of devices and translates
them into NGSI events available at a (global) Orion ContextBroker .
This way, application developers that are not IoT experts can still consume devices observations and send
commands through the Orion ContextBroker enabler.
Devices registered in IDAS are both able to send observations and receive commands.
ConfigurationManager – IoT Discovery UniSurrey
The primary purpose is to allow context producers to register their IoT Objects in linked-data format, and in turn allow
context consumers to discover them using a set of search techniques.
Configuration Manager – Orion Context Broker TID
The Orion Context Broker is an implementation of the Configuration Manager GE, providing the NGSI9 interfaces.
Within the IoT chapter, it is aimed to be used in combination with IoT Broker GE (so the IoTBroker deals with NGSI10
in a stateless fashion, relying in Orion as persistent storage for NGSI9 registrations) although it can be also used as
a stand alone component.
Gateway Data Handling - EspR4FastData Orange
Gateway Data Handling GE is designed to provide a common access in real time to all data, for any kind of sensors
and "Things". Using a simple local XML storage, this enabler can save and locally store relevant processed data, as
close as possible to the processed entities. Gateway Data Handling GE is the first stage of intelligence, transforming
data into events thanks to smart but simple rules. EspR4FastData is a simple deployable servlet application. It
features a dedicated REST management API, and a partial implementation of the standardized NGSI API.
Gateway Data Handling – SOL/CEP AtoS
SOL/CEP is a fast, versatile Complex Event Processor, able to collect vast amounts of asynchronous events of a
different types and correlate them into single events, called Complex Events. It can read from and write to numerous
different channels using various different protocols.
NEC IoT Broker NEC,
The IoT Broker is a middleware component enabling applications to retrieve aggregated information from Internet-of-
Things installations that consist of a multitude of devices and gateways.
33

Here they are (all): IoT (cont.)
Protocol Adapter – MR CoAP SAP
The IoT Broker is a middleware component enabling applications to retrieve aggregated information from Internet-of-
Things installations that consist of a multitude of devices and gateways.
Protocol Adapter – ZPA TI
A Gateway Protocol Adapter GE is capable to handle one of the protocols used by IoT Devices that are accepted in
FI-WARE, in particular the ZPA (ZigBee Protocol Adapter) enables the communication with IoT Devices
implementing the ZigBee specification.
The goal of a Gateway Protocol Adapter GE is to translate a specific protocol (in the case of ZPA is ZigBee) into a
unique internal language which normalizes the different communication protocols (in the case of ZPA is the Generic
Device API).
Template Handler SAP
The Template Handler GE is an integrated environment that allows for modelling and executing BPMN business
processes that are augmented with FI-WARE IoT BPMN standard extensions such as: PhysicalEntity,
SensingTask, and NGSIStartEvent:
34

Here they are (all) - Security
Access Control Thales
The API allows to manage authorization policies, and based on those policies, provides authorization
decisions for requests to REST APIs of other GEs/services in FI-WARE. The API of the Access Control GE
itself follows the REST architecture style, and uses the XACML (eXtensible Access Control Markup
Language) standard for the policy syntax and evaluation, as well as for the authorization decision
request/response format.
Android Flow Monitoring – FlowId INRIA
The goal of the Android Flow Monitoring Optional Enabler is to allow Android devices users as well as their
company's IT administrators to monitor the network usage of the devices. This allows users and
administrators to determine which application make use of the network, and how often, as this might generate
cost and cause faster battery drain.
Content Based Security Thales
Content Based Security (CBS) is an application layer security approach that provides a means to protect the
confidentiality and integrity of information and to control access to it.
Context-based Security and Compliance – PRRS AtoS
The Context-based Security & Compliance GE provides a help to end-users for automatic run-time selection
and deployment of security services based on his security requirements and constraints to ensure the
compliance with them in a changing environment.
Data Handling – PPL SAP
When private and sensitive data is sent and stored into external web or cloud servers, there is no real control
by the owner. This lack of control is due to the absence of mechanisms and methods that provides an ccess
and usage control to the stored data during its life time. This generic enable provides the framework and the
necessary tool to give the control to the data owner by imposing obligations on the data and restrictions.
DataBase Anonymazer SAP
DB Anonymizer DBA is a data anonymization/disclosure policy evaluator.
35

Here they are (all) – Security (cont.)
Identity Management NSN, DT, UPM
This enabler provides authentication/access control and identity/attribute assertions as a service to relying parties.

The Malware Detection Service GE provides a mechanism for determining if the submitted executable binary
file is sane or infected by a malware.
Privacy-Preserving Authentication IBM
This enabler provides the code to implement the various components of a privacy-preserving authentication
system. In particular, it allows
1. identity providers to setup an online service for issuing privacy-preserving attribute-based credentials (aka
36
anonymous credentials)
2. end users to generate privacy-preserving tokens (on the basis of a given access policy) to anonymously
yet accountably authenticate to service providers
3. service providers to verify the user-generated tokens with respect to a given access policy
Secure Storage Service Thales
The Secure Storage Service (SSS) is a storage facility allowing registered Users and trusted Service
Providers to store and access data (XML files) remotely. It is accessible from the Internet.
Security Monitoring Thales, ATOS
The Security Monitoring GE was designed to be offered as a services suite. The services provided, even if
they can be used in isolation offer their most when used conjointly to cover the whole & primary usage pattern.

Context Management in FI-WARE

A simple yet powerful standard API should be defined that helps
programmers to manage Context information

Context information refers to the values of attributes characterizing
entities relevant to applications
My Application
39
API
Bus
• Location
• No. passengers
• Driver
• Licence plate
Person
• Name-Surname
• Birthday
• Preferences
• Location
• ToDo list
Shop
• Location
• Business name
• Franchise
• offerings


Context information may come from many sources using different
interfaces and protocols … but programmers should just care about
entities and their attributes …
What’s the current temperature in place “X”?
Place = “X”, temperature = 30º
40
API
A sensor in a
pedestrian street
The Public Bus
Transport Management
It’s too hot!
A person from his smartphone system


Programmers may want to get notified when an update on context
information takes place …
Bus = “X”, last_stop = “A”,
arrived= “Yes”
push
41
Notify me when bus “X”
arrives at the bus stop “A” API


Acting on certain devices should be as easy as to change the value of
attributes linked to certain entities
Street Lamp lamp1 : status  “on”
Street lamp = “lamp1”, status= “on”

Basic entities and operations (2)

Context Consumers can be subscribed to reception of context information
complying with certain conditions, using the subscribeContext operation a
ContextBroker exports. Such subscriptions may have a duration.

The Context Broker notifies updates on context information to subscribed
Context Consumers by invoking the notifyContext operation they export
notifyContext (subscription_id, data/context)
45
Application
subscription_id = subscribeContext (consumer, expr, duration)
Context Broker Context Consumer

Basic entities and operations (3)

Context Providers can be registered to the Context Broker linked to certain
context information.

A Context Broker will invoke the queryContext operation exported by Context
Providers whenever they are queried for context information or have to notify
updates in context information
