… what makes an application be “smart”?

Does this guy look really smart?

Implementing Smart Solutions requires gathering and

managing context information at large scale

What is FIWARE?

• A scalable open source platform

to access and manage heterogeneous

context information through open APIs

• A standard for exchange of context

information:

NGSI (Next Generation Service

Interface, under elaboration at ETSI)

• Generic Enablers and Solutions to

provide Smart Services


24

FIWARE = advanced OpenStack-based Cloud capabilities + library

of APIs that ease the development of applications

Driven by implementation

Sustainability ensured


25

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

27

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 characterising entities relevant to applications

• Context information may come from many sources using different interfaces and protocols … but programmers should just care about entities and their attributes …

Place = “X”, temperature = 30º

What’s the current temperature in place “X”?

API

A sensor in a

pedestrian street

The Public Bus

Transport Management

systemA person from his smartphone

It’s too hot!


29


• Programmers may want to get notified when an update on context information takes place …

Bus = “X”, last_stop = “A”,

arrived= “Yes”

Event (push model)

Notify me when bus “X”

arrives at the bus stop “A”API


30


• 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”

API


31

The Context Broker GE

• The ContextBroker component deals with management of Context information

• It provides a simple yet powerful API based on the OMA NGSI-9 and NGSI-10 standard interfaces (FIWARE NGSI)

• (http://technical.openmobilealliance.org/Technical/technical-information/release-program/current-releases/ngsi-v1-0)

My Application

API

Context Broker


32

Basic Context Broker operations (1)

• Context Producers publish data/context elements by invoking the updateContext operation on a Context Broker.

• Context Consumers can retrieve data/context elements by invoking the queryContext operation on a Context Broker

Context Consumer

queryContext

Context Producer Context Broker

updateContext


33

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

Application

subscription_id = subscribeContext (consumer, expr, duration)

Context ConsumerContext Broker

notifyContext (subscription_id, data/context)


34

Integration with sensor networks

• The backend IoT Device Management GE enables creation and configuration of NGSI IoT Agents that connect to sensor networks

• Each NGSI IoT Agent can behave as Context Consumers or Context Providers, or both

Integration with existing systems

• Context adapters will be developed to interface with existing systems (e.g., municipal services management systems in a smart city) acting as Context Providers, Context Producers, or both

• Some attributes from a given entity may be linked to a Context Provider while other attributes may be linked to Context Producers

But we are not just

creating technology ….

… but a sustainable

open innovation

ecosystem20 August 2017 - Cairo

FIWARE was born as Public-Private Partnership initiative

Goal: capture opportunities derived from the new wave of

digitalization of life and businesses that is coming

Strategy: Build a sustainable innovation ecosystem around open

standards supporting development of smart applications in

multiple sectors

Pillars:

a generic, open standard platform which serve the

needs of developers in multiple domains

a meeting point where innovation happens and data

providers plus entrepreneurs can be engaged

a program that funds developers and entrepreneurs,

and ignites roll-out of the ecosystem

to reach a global footprint, opening to regions that

share the same vision and ambition

to provide local support to the community

The EC made, and is making, a strong bet on FIWARE

Mrs. Neelie Kroes launched FIWARE 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 FIWARE 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.”
