[Fiware-pcc] Report on status of first FI-WARE Open Call

[Juanjo Hierro]

Hi all,

  A brief summary of where we are regarding the first FI-WARE Open Call:

  We received (see attached file for more details):

  *   5 proposals to the BM&BE topic
  *   12 proposals to the Middleware topic

  I believe we can consider this rather a success !!   On the other hand, the number of proposals is still manageable (I have to confess this was something I was rather worried about :-)

  Now we have launch the evaluation process involving independent reviewers.   The calendar to be followed is slightly different from one topic to the other, but adopt the same schema:

  *   Regarding the BM&BE topic:
     *   Deadline for acceptance by evaluators - 04/05/12 12:00pm
     *   Self-training (about FI-WARE project) by evaluators - 04/05/12 - 07/05/12
     *   Audio conference involving FI-WARE team representatives and evaluators - 08/05/2012
     *   Assignment of Proposals for review and start of evaluation - 08/05/12
     *   Evaluation of proposals - 08/05/12 - 14/05/12
     *   Evaluation forms filled by each evaluator and sent to subsidies at tid.es<mailto:subsidies at tid.es>: 14/05/12
     *   Virtual meeting for consensus and individual proposal's Evaluation Summary Reports elaboration - 16/05/2012
     *   Edition of Open Call Evaluation Report (to be carried out by FI-WARE) - 16/05/12 - 31/05/12
     *   Open Call Evaluation Report sent to the EC (to be carried out by FI-WARE) - 31/05/12
  *   Regarding the middleware topic:
     *   Deadline for acceptance by evaluators (you) - 04/05/12 12:00pm
     *   Self-training (about FI-WARE project) by evaluators - 04/05/12 - 07/05/12
     *   Audio conference involving FI-WARE team representatives and evaluators - 08/05/2012
     *   Assignment of Proposals for review and start of evaluation - 08/05/12
     *   Evaluation of proposals - 08/05/12 - 15/05/12
     *   Evaluation forms filled by each evaluator and sent to subsidies at tid.es<mailto:subsidies at tid.es>: 15/05/12
     *   Virtual meeting for consensus and individual proposal's Evaluation Summary Reports elaboration - 17/05/2012
     *   Edition of Open Call Evaluation Report (to be carried out by FI-WARE) - 17/05/12 - 31/05/12
     *   Open Call Evaluation Report sent to the EC (to be carried out by FI-WARE) - 31/05/12

  Independent evaluators have been defined for each topic:

  *   Regarding the BM&BE topic:
     *   Invited evaluators: Florian Urmetzer (Accenture), Man-Sze Li (IC Focus, FI-WARE project reviewer)
     *   backup evaluators: Volker Hoyer (Bertelsmann)
  *   Regarding the Middleware topic:
     *   Invited evaluators: Schahram Dustdar (Vienna Univ), Rafael Navajo (GMV), Dominic Greenwood (Whitestein Technologies AG, FI-WARE project reviewer)
     *   backup evaluators: Lutz Schubert (University of Stuttgart), Dora Varvarigou (NTUA)

  I'll keep you informed about progress.   I would like to get SAP's team involved in the BM&BE evaluation process (particularly in the confcall planned for May 8th where they would have the opportunity to share their expectations with the evaluators, but also during the consensus building meeting).    Also Stefano as second representative in the FI-PPP AB.    Of course, anyone else is welcome.

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo
