FI-PPP Key Requirements
• Technology Foundation: commoditisation
– uniform (and inexpensive) access to FI resources
– reduce application development costs
• Use Cases: validation and expansion
– increase range of available FI applications
– increase user demand for FI applications
• Capacity Building: defragmentation
– allow applications developers and service providers to target
a European market, not one city or sensor network at a time
– make FI infrastructure installations multi-functional, not one
application at a time

6. THE INFINITY PROJECT
• Dedicated or shared?
– shared is typically cheaper
– dedicated provides greater
certainty over performance
and privacy/security
• Centralised or distributed?
– centralised eases portability
for data analytics components
– centralised brings more data
together for analysis
– distributed eliminates critical
dependencies (economic and
security dependencies)
FI-PPP Trade Offs
Example: Shared or separate back-office services?

Infrastructure Challenges
Concern Location-centric, e.g.
embedded sensor nets
User-centric, e.g. fixed
/mobile social networks
Resource-centric, e.g. data
transfer, storage, processing
User
adoption
Need multi-purpose infra-
structure enabling a wide
range of applications.
Need transparency and
reliability.
Content regulation across
borders.
Often decided by application
providers, not directly by the
end users. Driven by price,
branding, jurisdiction, etc.
Security Many sensor test beds seem
to lack basic security.
User tracking and cyber-
terrorism still a concern.
Basic security is addressed.
But user profiling/tracking is
still a concern, along with
cyber crime against users.
Basic security is addressed.
But secure value chains are
not well supported. Hard to
maintain end user trust.
Interop-
erability
Transfer of applications
between locations is still
difficult.
Technical access is not a
problem. But user lock-in and
monopolies are a concern.
Cloud Computing Strategy
already helping normalise
technical interfaces and
business terms/processes.
Sustain-
ability
Often depends on public
funding (local, regional or
national). Fragmentation
makes value less evident to
potential investors.
Valorisation depends on scale
of user community. Need to
show value (over Facebook,
etc.). Specialised networks
may need public support.
Commercial service model
clearly works in many cases.
Need to show added value
from FI (over Amazon, etc.).

8. THE INFINITY PROJECT
• INFINITY: identification
– online repository www.xipi.eu
– matchmaking for infrastructures
– analysis of opportunities and
challenges for FI-PPP participation
– road map to address challenges
• XIFI: integration and federation
– capacity adaptation and integration
– federation to address fragmentation
– finding sustainable business models
– supporting trials and sharing best
practices
