[Fiware-opencall-bm] Question regarding proposal template

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear submitter of proposal to the BM&BE Open Call,

  Thanks for your interest in the call.

  I hope the following Q&As included in the FAQ of the Open Call may help to answer your questions:


What are the kind of global technical coordination activities where we should participate in ? Is there any deliverable we should plan contributing to ?

This will be detailed during the negotiation phase in case your proposal gets selected. 10-12% of the PMs you allocate to RTD activities will be booked to support these activities, as mentioned above. Following is a list of some of the activities you may anticipate will be considered as part of your contribution to global technical activities:

  *   contribution to FI-WARE Architecture, not only regarding description of the GE(s) you will contribute but also reviewing of the whole Architecture (see FI-WARE Architecture<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FI-WARE_Architecture>)
  *   contribution to the definition of the FI-WARE Backlog, particularly with respect to entries associated to requirements on the GE(s) you are contributing, including entries linked to integration with other GE(s)
  *   contribution to the FI-WARE Technical Roadmap definition (see FI-WARE Technical Roadmap<http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FI-WARE_Technical_Roadmap>)
  *   contribution to state of the art analysis, mostly focused on the topic area where your GE(s) fit

As part of our work we propose the specification of requirements and state-of-the-art analysis of some components. Should we define separate WPs where these activities would be carried out and lead to generation of related deliverables ? The RTD WP template (namely form 1.2b as also instructed in the Form B document) is oriented to defining GEs but does not fit the goal of delivering such deliverables. In other words, is it allowed to define RTD work packages whose structure and deliverables deviate from the rigid template provided in the guidelines for applicants ?

As stated in one of the previous responses you should plan that 10-12% of the PMs you allocate to RTD activities will be booked to support global technical coordination activities, which already has a dedicated WP defined in FI-WARE. Following is a list of some of the activities you may anticipate will be considered as part of your contribution to global technical activities. The specification of requirements as well as state-of-the-art analysis will fit there.

Regarding the BM&BE topic, specification of business requirements will be considered as part of the requirements to be analyzed and potentially mapped into the FI-WARE backlog. Analysis of market trends regarding business models will be considered part of the contribution to the state-of-the-art analysis to be carried out by the project overall.

  Do not hesitate to ask if you still have doubts.

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo

Dear Sir/Madame,

We are currently preparing a proposal submission for the FI-WARE Open Call under the topic of BM & BE Definition and Simulation. As part of our work we propose the specification and in-depth analysis of BMs and BEs, involving analysis methodologies and tools such as tussle analysis and game theory, also complemented with simulations. We were planning to specify seperate WPs where activities such as business requirements, market trends and concrete business models would be specified and delivered to the FI-WARE project as deliverables. However, the RTD WP template (namely form 1.2b as also instructed in the Form B document) is oriented to defining GEs but does not fit the goal of delivering Business models specification reports and corresponding analysis. By looking into the templates provided we have identified as the only candidate RTD WP to deliver such reports the Exploitation WP, which contains market-oriented activities as well as the sustainability and impact reports, which would also be the major output of our BM analysis work.

So the question is whether it is allowed or not to define RTD work packages whose structure and deliverables deviate from the rigid template provided as form 1.2b; i,e, is form 1.2b the only allowed RTD WP structure in addition to that of the Exploitation WP? Additionally, we would like to ask if you consider that a detailed analysis of BMs investigating the sustainability and depicting the impact of FI-WARE on the Internet services ecosystem should be reported within the Exploitation WP, or instead in a different RTD WP with "custom" structure, not following the template 1.2b or any other provided in the Form B document (if this is allowed).

Thank you for your time and looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Manos Dramitinos
