The FI-WARE Project – Base Platform for Future Service Infrastructures
2
A product is useless without a platform, or more precisely and accurately, a platform-less product will always be replaced by an equivalent platform-ized product.We don't do internal service-oriented platforms, and we just as equally don't do external ones. This means that the "not getting it" is endemic across the company: the PMs don't get it, the engineers don't get it, the product teams don't get it, nobody gets it. But making something a platform is not going to make you an instant success. A platform needs a killer app.

Management of Open Calls
We plan to maintain ~30% (12M Euro) of the project budget for distribution among new partners
New partners will be selected through Open Calls to allow for responding to emerging user requirements not identified at the start of the project, e.g.,
› due to new usage areas, new technologies, new economic conditions
Specific component of the budget will be reserved for SMEs (aprox 30%) and Research Centers (aprox 30%)
Selection of new partners will be done according to the procedure issued by the Commission

Some FAQs (1/2)
Do we need to form a consortium or just one entity is enough?• R/ See rules. We do not need a consortium in all cases, selected partners
will indeed join the existing consortia
Looking for SW developers or innovative, ground breaking work?• R/ Good foundations and results to be integrated. We are not reinveinting
Internet, rather we want to put into use to the citizens
Are you looking for built, completed solutions?• R/ We need to innovate, but we are also valuing existing results (software
that works) and expertise. Integration is important.
Should we write a long, impact related document?• R/ we need description your results rather than “standard” impact sections
• However, we really would like to see commitment to the implementation

Some FAQs (2/2)
Any constraints regarding IPRs ?• Specification of APIs and interoperable protocols linked to any
product/technology contributed to FI-WARE must be open and royalty-free• Must be licensed free of charge in the context of the PPP• Must be licensable under FRAND terms outside the PPP
How can I really understand what you have already?. • R/ See our web site (www.fi-ware.eu)
Can provide you some example of the kind of things you are looking for ?• R/ Still too early but be sure we will mostly ask for rather concrete products,
technologies or skills• Examples (not meaning they are real):
› Document-oriented No-SQL Data Storage Technology
› Development of advanced widgets for an Event Monitoring Dashboard Console
› Widget publishing platform, enabling publication on multiple channels (e.g., FaceBook, Google Apps Marketplace, …)
