FIWARE aims to transform the future internet by providing open-source generic enablers (GEs) through APIs that can be combined to build applications. These GEs include functions for context data management, big data analysis, device connectivity, and more. FIWARE also offers resources like the FIWARE Lab test environment and FIWARE Academy training to help developers build innovative applications that integrate diverse data and devices. The goal is for FIWARE to become the standard platform for the internet of things and smart cities.

3. The Internet will again transform the daily life of
individuals and businesses
The Next Computer

4. 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

5. Open data publication
Once context information is gathered, a lot of useful
complementary FIWARE enablers can be used

6. Being able to run on an OpenStack-based Cloud keeping
costs lower and under control
5
Active involvement towards contribution of results
from the Cloud chapter to the OpenStack community

7. Ensuring Privacy, Security and Trust
Common Authorization, Access Control
and Privacy management framework for
all FIWARE GE interfaces
• Authorization, Access Control framework in
the short term
• Privacy Management capabilities to be
integrated next

8. Taking the most of the network, capable to interface
with all kind of devices

9. IoT: Plug, Configure & Play
8
• Connection of devices should just imply
to plug, configure & play
• Provide a framework that eases the
incorporation of new protocols

10. NGSI: the SNMP of the Internet of Things
• Measures as values of attributes
characterizing context entities
• Just need to change the value of an
attribute to trigger an action on a device
9

11. Integration of FIWARE Advanced Web-based
User Interface GEs with NGSI
• Shared Context Information
• End-to-End connection from UI to IoT resources
10

12. 11
• Leveraging on CKAN
• Support to self-publication by third parties
• Integration with FIWARE Store GE in order
to support how access rights are obtained
by users
Powerful framework for publication of
datasets and APIs

13. Enrich Context Processing features
• Media metadata processing
• CEP: APIs for programming pattern
detection and rules
• Lambda architecture
12

14. Interface to Robots
• Focus on ROS
• Focus on quick-wins
