FI-WARE and the Use Case trials, recently incorporated to the PPP Programme, gathered in Madrid last week at the Telecommunications Engineering School of the UPM.   The goal of the meeting was to initiate the collaboration with the Use Case Trials from the very start (ever before their internal kick-offs) to ensure that we share a common view and the same objectives. FI-WARE provided a holistic vision of the achievements and the methodology we use [...]

 Last week’s Proof of Concept trial of the SafeCity project was a remarkable culmination of a 2 year work. Further to the success of the 1st PoC in Stockholm, where they tested the appropriateness of their solutions in a disaster scenario in a railway tunnel, they embarked again on an exciting and challenging new test. This time, they once again decided to combine their technologies with FI-WARE’s Core Platform to conduct an experiment that would [...]

Our recent exhibition in Dublin Future Internet Assembly (FIA, May 7-10th 2013) shows how FI-WARE enablers truly expose open APIs & protocols embedding the technology complexity and, more important, real-time data and events of Smartcities. The following picture shows this demo, based on the successful collaboration with the FI-PPP Phase I Outsmart project. Outsmart SmartSantander public lighting scenario has built its services on top of DCA IDAS, the main asset in the FI-WARE IoT Back-end [...]

One week ago all companies involved in the definition and devlopment of FI-WARE Internet of the Things enablers met in Orange premises in Paris. Our meeting improved our architecture with the lessons learnt from Release 1 and updated strategies of the participating companies in order to ensure we create a consistent and future-proofed solution. Besides the open architecture we went deep into the technical details of the enablers implementations, discussing interfaces, APIs and forthcoming proof-of-concepts [...]

  The Internet is definitely going mobile as the impressive figures of the recent Mobile World Congress of Barcelona reveal: more than 1.700 companies, 3.400 journalists and, on the whole, over 72.000 attendees from 200 different countries.   FI-WARE, in its role of leader of the creation of a Future Internet services ecosystem in Europe, set up an exhibition booth together with the other FI-PPP projects and organized a workshop within the parallel event on [...]

Last week, the FI-WARE chapter leaders and architects met in Rome at the Engineering premises at Ponte Galeria for a four-day meeting. The agenda was full of things to talk about. Thanks to the engagement of all participants, everything was addressed. A significant amount of time was taken to discuss cross-chapter topics which need to be developed during the next months. All these activities will be handled following the Agile process that has driven FI-WARE [...]

Those who followed our previous calls must have noticed that they were basically bringing in complementary expertise to cover gaps in the functional map of FI-WARE. The new partners selected as a result of the successive calls were very similar in profile and objectives to those in the consortium from the beginning of the project.   The third call is different in scope and nature. Now that we have a core of solid GEs and [...]

YES ! the first release of FI-WARE is up and running on the so-called FI-WARE Testbed.   Currently, access to the FI-WARE Testbed environment is limited to UC projects in phase one of the EU FI-PPP programme who are carrying out a friendly testing of the first set of products implementing FI-WARE GE specifications.   But stay tunned because soon the FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab will allow any third party to experiment with FI-WARE. You may [...]
