[Fiware-opencall-bm] RV: [Subsidies] [Fiware-opencall-help] Questions regarding FiWare Open Call

[MARIA ISABEL ALONSO MEDIAVILLA]

Dear Torsten,

Many thanks for your emails. However, what we need is a list of questions and specific answers to be published on the FAQs web page.

Please, when you all have them, send us an email including both the questions and the corresponding answers.

Many thanks!
Isabel

Asunto: Re: [Fiware-opencall-bm] RV: [Subsidies] [Fiware-opencall-help] Questions regarding FiWare Open Call

Considering EPIC - Business Model Simulation:


XaaS is just an example of a service type. There could be any other service type or application domain. Since Cloud is part of FI-Ware I assume that this domain is of special interest. However, the BE&BM should not be to specific to the Cloud domain. I'm not concerned with cloud services and cannot help.

In the general scope of the project


There is no visual representation for the Epics relationships. This information is rather implicit and not systematically captured.
The epics may have some dependencies according to the development process/plan. If you are looking for interdependencies of the GE than you should have a look at the architecture descriptions in the Wiki.

Best regards,
Torsten
