Project acronym: FI-WARE
Project grant agreement number: 285248
Project full name: FI-WARE: Future Internet Core
Platform
The FI-WARE project, currently active in the Seventh Framework
Programme of the European Community for research and technological
development, announces its First Open Call for new project
partners.
FI-WARE will deliver a novel service infrastructure, building upon
elements (called Generic Enablers – GEs) which offer reusable and
commonly shared functions making it easier to develop Future Internet
Applications in multiple sectors. This infrastructure will bring
significant and quantifiable improvements in the performance,
reliability and production costs linked to Internet Applications –
building a true foundation for the Future Internet.
FI-WARE is the cornerstone of the Future Internet PPP (FI-PPP) program,
a joint action by European Industry and the European Commission.
The FI-WARE project will develop open specifications of FI-WARE GEs,
together with a reference implementation of each GE for testing. Some
of these open specifications will be submitted for standardization.
FI-WARE aims to draw upon results already achieved through earlier
research projects. It will further develop them and integrate
them.
FI-WARE’s First Open Call will allow the incorporation of new partners
that can contribute or develop the following GEs for their integration
as part of FI-WARE. They also need to provide support to FI-PPP use
case projects validating conceptual prototypes developed on top of
FI-WARE.
- Middleware for efficient and QoS/Security-aware invocation of services and exchange of messages.
- Business Models and Business Elements (BM & BE) Definition and Simulation.
IPRs will be managed according to the corresponding Grant Agreement,
Consortium Agreement and Collaboration Agreement, which the new
partners shall adhere to. In particular, specifications of GEs
must be publicly available on the FI-WARE’s website/wiki and be
royalty-free. Contributed implementations of these GEs should be
licensed free of charge to projects funded under the FI-PPP program and
commercialized under FRAND conditions.
Submitters to this Open Call should be legal entities that are
established in an EU Member State, or FP7 Associated State.
Please note that activities to be carried out by the new partners will
be partly funded, in alignment with the funding schema defined for
research activities by the European Commission.
Full information, including details about expected functionality to be
covered by the above mentioned GEs, is available on
