Hello FIWARE team, I am a faculty member in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. I'm reaching out to explore the possibility of collaboration between your team and ours. A few of my colleagues and I have just started working on a new project aimed at reducing user-perceived latencies when interacting with online services over the Internet. The premise of our work is that, while it is easy today to construct complex mobile-cloud apps by reusing public APIs, microservices, libraries, etc., optimizing latency requires significant development expertise. We seek to reduce the bar for development of low latency apps by automating the process of discovering optimizations that can help reduce user-perceived latency. We are currently in the process of putting together a proposal requesting support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for this project. As part of this proposal, we are looking around to identify projects that can benefit from our work, and given the NSF's recent emphasis on Smart Cities, the FIWARE platform caught our attention. We believe that applying our work to FIWARE can be of help in optimizing latency for services that use your platform. Many studies have shown in the past that users are more likely to use an app if the latency of interacting with it is low, and so, we believe that the application of our research can help the FIWARE community. At this point in time, I'm reaching out to see if collaborating with our team at the University of Michigan would be of interest to you, if our proposal is funded. If this is of interest, it would be great to get a letter stating your support, so that we can submit this letter along with our proposal. I would be glad to send you a draft of the letter, which you can edit as appropriate. I would be happy to provide more detail about our proposed research. Look forward to your reply!
