1 Introduction

The purpose of this deliverable is to thoroughly present all the dissemination and collaboration

actions undertaken by COMPOSE, during the first year of the project (November’12 –

October’13; see Figure 1).

Figure 1: the first year of communication, dissemination and training activities

It provides a summary of the effective results of the COMPOSE dissemination strategy by

highlighting the dissemination material created by the consortium, main venues attended and

publications, as an evidence of the external dissemination and communication efficiency.

This document also includes all networking activities carried out by COMPOSE in terms of

liaison and meetings with other research related projects and initiatives.

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to:

• Report the dissemination activities that were carried out by our consortium in the first

year of the project.



• Report the collaboration activities made with other projects and research initiatives at

EU level, Working Groups (CWGs) relevant to COMPOSE and Internet of Things

/Internet of Services.

1.2 Structure

The document opens with an introduction. The following section two presents the dissemination

activities for the first year of the project, both in terms of created/updated dissemination

channels and contents circulated. Section three describes the partners’ training activities linked

to the project and the COMPOSE Hachathon1 as the first training event experience. Chapter

four summarises the work done on networking and external communities.

2 Dissemination activities

2.1 COMPOSE CHANNELS created, circulated and updated

The following web and social channels have been planned (see D8.1.2), then created and

disseminated. All the social channels are actually promptly updated by the dissemination team

after communication of the Project Partner in charge of the specific content. Partners’

responsibilities for social channels:

(i) Channels creation: CREATE-NET.

(ii) Upload and management of dissemination contents: see D8.1.2 and Table 1.

Table 1: responsibilities for content management on COMPOSE social channels.

C = centralized management

P = partners’ responsibility

During the first year of the project the website and the others social channels received a low

level of visits and community interaction probably as an effect of:

1. the novelty of the tools, under refinement and with an average age of 4 months,

2. the low level of project networking during the summer season,

3. the limited number of dissemination contents due to the first year of the project, and



4. the decision to postpone harder actions of community networking to the 2nd year.

Despite of this, this outcome is in line with the dissemination plans and with the objectives of

the 1st year of COMPOSE project dissemination (see D8.1.2.1): creation of dissemination tools,

create awareness of the project vision and establish the first contacts with relevant communities

(see Chapter 4). During the second year of the project the objective will be to increase

community networking activities also leveraging on more mature channels, contents and in

general relationship capabilities.

2.1.1 Website

The COMPOSE Website has been created (see D8.1.1 COMPOSE website Establishment), it is

online with the URL http://www.compose-project.eu/ and it represent the main channel in the

project social channels’ strategy. This means that (1) the Website is the first tool for

disseminating material and news, and that (2) all the other social channels’ dissemination

contents are referring to the website contents.

The website is created and maintained by CREATE-NET.

Figure 2: the Homepage of the COMPOSE Project Website.



Analysing the visits to the website between March 1st 2013 (its creation) and the middle of

October 2013, it emerges that the novelty of the tool and the early phase of the project are

reflected in the initial rank of visits and participation (see Figure 3).

Figure 3: trend of visits to the Website.

Website analytics should be explained in this report. As shown in Figure 4, in the first seven and

half months the COMPOSE website received 3,222 visits with an average of visit duration of

2’22’’ and of 2,59 pages. New visitors were the 73,28% of the total.

Figure 4: website analytics.

The plans for the website during the second year of the project are to improve the tool,

maintaining it as the channel for project dissemination, while working in depth for community

(scientific, business, public, software, citizens) involvement.

2.1.2 Newsletter

The COMPOSE Newsletter has been circulated starting from July 2013 and is also possible to

reach it from the website: http://www.compose-project.eu/newsletter/compose-newsletter.

• Aim: in line with the description in the Dissemination Plan (D8.1.2) it is a sort of

electronic newspaper that reports to the project internal and external community project

dissemination contents (project meetings, news, events and other related achievements)

and IoT/IoS communities’ related contents.

• Type of content: the relevant content is already on the website

• Frequency: the newsletter is sent on a monthly basis starting from July; therefore 4

numbers are circulated at the end of October 2013.

• Community: in order to build this channel community every project partner was asked

to (1) register to the newsletter and (2) invite external persons.



• Responsibility: CREATE-NET.

The newsletter registration module is on the website and it is actually (as of 15th October 2013)

sent to a community of 214 emails. Subscription is possible through registering to the website.

The plans for the newsletter during the second year of the project are to improve the tool while

working in depth for community (scientific, business, public, software, citizens) involvement.

2.1.3 Facebook

The COMPOSE Project FaceBook Group is online with the URL

https://www.facebook.com/groups/259671430841092/.

• Aim: in line to the description in the Dissemination Plan (D8.1.2) this social network is

used to promote all the project information through individuals and IoT/IoS projects,

and to create awareness in order to stimulate action amongst members.

• Type of content: all the dissemination material (except SW material). Pictures of

significant events and Hackathons should be posted here as well as videos of key

speakers or lectures. It is also a place for disseminating links to other interesting events

related to the convergence of the Internet of Services with the Internet of Things.

• Frequency: Information is posted into the profile (wall posts) at least on a weekly basis.

Other posts are welcomed.

• Community: this group will itself 'Like' other related EU similar project profiles, in

order to increase awareness of the subject.

• Responsibility: project dissemination material is uploaded by CREATE-NET. Every

project partner is responsible for checking wall posts for any inappropriate language or

comments.

The Facebook group was created on the 15th of June 2013 with the objective for the first year of

the project to acquire the first’s group members and start the early posts’ population. Currently

it contains only 11 members (as of the 15th of October 2013) which are mostly project partners.

The plans for the Facebook group during the second year of the project are to improve the tool

while working in depth for community (scientific, business, public, software, citizens)

involvement.

2.1.4 LinkedIn

The COMPOSE LinkedIn Group is online with the URL

http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=5079474&trk=anet_ug_hm&goback=.anb_5079

474_*2_*1_*1_*1_*1_*1.

• Aim: in line to what described in the Dissemination Plan (D8.1.2) dissemination of all

the activities related to COMPOSE through LinkedIn professional social network to

individuals and IoT/IoS projects communities.

• Type of content: Dissemination content (except SW material); subscription in other

relevant groups for cross-linking. In order to bootstrap the group activity, it has been

decided to post a weekly discussion/question or even comment on existing discussions.

• Frequency: relevant dissemination content is on a weekly basis.

• Community: IoT and IoS professionals.



• Responsibility: project dissemination material is uploaded by CREATE-NET. Every

project partner is responsible for opening discussions/links.

The LinkedIn group was created on the 15th of June 2013 with the objective for the first year of

the project to acquire the early members and start the first contents population. Currently (as of

15th of October 2013) it counts only 28 members which are mostly project partners. The plans

for the LinkedIn group during the second year of the project are to improve the tool while

working in depth for community (scientific, business, public, software, citizens) involvement.

2.1.5 Twitter

The COMPOSE Project is online on Twitter: https://twitter.com/COMPOSE_Project.

• Aim: in line with the description in the Dissemination Plan (D8.1.2) this tool is used for

disseminating all the activities related to COMPOSE. The goal is to develop the

network by gathering as many followers as possible. The profile will also follow other

related similar EU Project profiles, increasing the overall dissemination.

• Type of content: adopted by partners to communicate their experiences at conferences,

meetings, relaying new ideas etc.

• Frequency: in order to be effective it would be higher recommendable to produce at

least a tweet every 4-5 days.

• Community: Scientific and Business Community, citizens, public sector are the most

important target for this channel. The strategy is to follow other profile that might be

interest in this project.

• Responsibility: CREATE-NET will create tweets regarding standard dissemination

material, all project partners will contribute the COMPOSE Twitter profile.

The COMPOSE group on Twitter was created on the 15th of June 2013 with the objective for

the first year of the project to acquire the early followers and start the first tweets population.

Currently it counts only 16 tweets, 7 following and 13 followers which are not only project

partners but also from the broader IoT community. The plans for the Twitter group during the

second year of the project are to improve the tool while working in depth for community

(scientific, business, public, software, citizens) involvement.

2.1.6 YouTube

The COMPOSE Project YouTube channel is online with the URL:

www.youtube.com/user/ProjectCompose.

This channel represents a getaway tool for project videos for sharing through the website and

social channels and it is managed by CREATE-NET. Currently only one video (COMPOSE

Hackathon in Zurich: https://www.youtube.com/user/ProjectCompose) has been posted to this

channel on the 25th of September 2013, with 33 visualizations as of the 15th of October 2013.

The plans for the YouTube channel during the second year of the project are to improve the tool

while working in depth for community (scientific, business, public, software, citizens)

involvement.



2.1.7 GitHub

The COMPOSE project GitHub service is online with the URL https://github.com/compose-eu.

It is adopted by SW developers for dissemination and training technical activities, therefore it

will be very useful for future hackathons.

2.1.8 Blog

The COMPOSE Blog creation is planned for the second year of the project in order to be

sustained by the more mature phases of the project. It will mainly leverage on the growing

networking with external communities and projects.

Social media posts/material

All the contents listed in this chapter have been disseminated through the COMPOSE Website,

Newsletter and social medias (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter).

SW prototypes and material

A first hackathon was organized by the COMPOSE project at a very early stage of the project

(M11) much earlier that envisioned in the workplan. For the context of that first COMPOSE

Hackathon organised in Zurich in September 2013, a back-end implementation and an

embedded library have been developed by BSC and CN respectively. The back-end

implementation is the initial draft of the mechanism that will allow users to register in

COMPOSE though a web interface and create virtual objects that can store sensor data

information. Every process can be performed through a COMPOSE defined API, but there is a

graphical user interface for better user experience. Retrieving the stored data can be performed

through simple GET HTTP requests. Authentication is performed using a user-specific token as

part of the header request.

The embedded library is a HTTP COMPOSE wrapper that simplifies the process of sending

sensor numerical data to the COMPOSE backend using HTTP POST requests. The library has



been developed and exposed as open source, for the OpenPicus Flyport embedded hardware –

microcontroller platform that enables sensor data collection and communication over the

Internet using WiFi and 3G interfaces.

Training material

The first training material for COMPOSE has been developed in the context of the first

Hackathon. Since many similar events will follow, a forum tool has been integrated in the

COMPOSE website that enables the creation of several topics and addition of training material

(i.e. description and explanation of resources, code samples, links to code repositories, etc.).

For the first Hackathon, a respective section has been developed and the involved partners have

added introductory material about the demo back-end service that has been developed. Through

specific posts, an introduction to the main concepts of COMPOSE has been provided as well as

the description of the back-end for creating and hosting smart objects and smart object data.

In addition, an introduction to using the embedded software - mobile client library has been

provided.

Through this material, participants in the 1st Hackathon were able to use the draft

implementation of COMPOSE and build end-to-end applications that used the back-end for

storing and retrieving sensor data.

2.2.3 Linkages to related projects

During the participation of COMPOSE in the IoT Week 2013 (Helsinki, 17-20 June 2013),

some initial links were built to existing IoT projects like IoT-A (nr. 257521) and iCore (nr.

287708). From both projects the proposed architecture and methodologies were discussed and

will be considered in the future requirement specification and design of services for COMPOSE.

In addition, since COMPOSE will deliver special dissemination and training events, and will

have additional impact on developer communities, members of projects participating in the IoT

Week have expressed their interest for collaborating with COMPOSE in terms of evaluating

methods for semantic interoperability on the communities.

In addition, the following links have been created with other projects:

• BETaaS - platform for the execution of M2M applications built on top of services

deployed in a “local cloud” of gateways. Met and discussed during the IoS

Collaboration event in Brussels. Decided to definitely collaborate on dissemination

activities, including potentially training sessions. In addition should touch base with

them after M6 to explore further collaboration opportunities.

• MobiCloud – MobiCloud interest seems to be centred on creating a platform for mobile

users, while COMPOSE intends to build a platform to create and run services based on

network connected Smart Objects. We had an initial exchange of basic information and

should re-connect once we pass the 6 months mark to explore collaboration

opportunities.

• Webinos - Focus on developing secure open source platform for applications on

personal devices. Easy and continuous exploration of opportunities due to a couple of

mutual partners (including the Webinos coordinator).

• OPENi - Open-Source, Web-Framework, for Cloud-Connected Applications. Have a

mutual partner (Fokus) that keeps an eye on both projects. Will re-think possible

collaboration avenues after M6.



• SOA4ALL – A project that has ended but we may be able to build on some

technologies developed there. A mutual partner (OU) serves as the liaison between both

projects.

• City SDK – Project partner (FOKUS) started discussing on the potential collaboration

between COMPOSE and City SDK during the City SDK Workshop 2013 at the Future

Everything Conference.

3 Training events

3.1 COMPOSE Hackathon 1

On September 8th 2013, COMPOSE Partners met in Zurich for the WoT 2013 hackathon

(http://www.webofthings.org/wot/2013/hackathon.php), kindly sponsored and organized by

EVRYTHNG and the COMPOSE EU Project. A small group of 15 external participants from

the WoT 2013 workshop, along with several participants from the COMPOSE projects had a

unique opportunity to sit together and hack for a whole day around.

Thanks to the support of OpenPicus who offered a dozen full equipped flyport devices,

participants have been able to put together in only a few hours several small prototypes that

The University of Passau organized the seminar titled “Real Life Security” linked to the

COMPOSE project (http://web.sec.uni-passau.de/projects/compose/index.php). The Seminar

lasted the whole summer 2013; presentation of results (40 minutes) was given on July, 1st,

2013. The audience was composed by part of the scientific staff, the presenting students and

some additional interested students with a total of 25 people.

4 Communities

Project Partners identified an early list of strategic communities for networking purposes (see

Table 2 and D8.1.2-Dissemination Plan). The list is subject to further review and integration.

• City Walkshops, A city walkshops are walking workshops. It is

a short engaging activity to involve people in the physical world

of a city, to observe and to document where the digital world is

sensing our presence and our environment while we are part of

it. There are photos and videos taken, social media and other

forms of documentation performed while we walk together and

visit points on a pre-determined route. The Walking component

of a WalkShop is followed by a Workshop component. During

the workshop, we pool our observations and discuss, or “digest”

what we have seen and done together. We explore themes

appropriate to the audience through short stimulus

presentations and open discussions. http://bcn.walkshop.org/

COMPOSE services and software components are still at an early stage of development and

have been only partially exposed through the first Hackathon event for user evaluation. In

addition, software developed that enables integration and communication with external clients

(i.e. hardware sensors) has been provided as open source to the community for use and

evaluation. Through the process of publishing the source code on public open source

repositories like GitHub, the developers community active in IoT services can have access to

any resource made public available by COMPOSE, use it, evaluate it and disseminate it further.

Next steps for building and enhancing such communities involve the dissemination events but

also the introduction of the project to local IoT communities (e.g., local IoT Trento community,

etc.)

5 Summary

The activities collected in this document have showed substantial dissemination and

collaboration efforts made by consortium partners with the aim to promote ongoing activities,

results and ideas of the COMPOSE project.



We have addressed the dissemination channels (website and social channels), contents

(publications, presentations ...), training events (the 1st COMPOSE Hackathon and partners’

training activities) and relevant networks & communities in order to reinforce the awareness of

the project among public, scientific, business, citizens and SW developers.

This first phase of building the branding and establishing the required dissemination

infrastructure was successfully achieved during the first year of the project. All activities are in

line with the Dissemination Plan (D8.1.2):

• we created the website and the social channels,

• we started disseminating project dissemination contents,

• we started approaching strategic communities (IoT-A and iCore projects, IoT

communities ...),

• we successfully created the 1st COMPOSE Hackathon.

The Dissemination Plan does not need for further actions of refinement or general change.

During the next year we will address the communication phase with more emphasis in actions

targeting more specific communities than in tools. We will start new initiatives to get the

maximum result and impact.
