Hi Juanjo, I basically agree with the proposal you made, I just want to add that, as pointed out by Stefano about the close relationship with GEis of data chapter, another specific connection should be established between the newly created WP and the I2ND one, for what concerns both the CDI and the Cloud Proxy/Edge GEs. In my view it is important that we keep in close contact the developments of this WP which deals with web-based interfaces and the I2ND chapter; as an example the features of the CDI which provide access to device capabilities specifically through JavaScript API can be leveraged in the implementation of those advanced UIs planned in the WP. The same could be envisaged for Cloud Proxy, which can easily host implementations of advanced UIs and related GEs.

I have given a careful thought to the way these new beneficiaries of the 2nd Open Call could be integrated in FI-WARE. Overall, looking for an approach that makes sense technically in the first place but also makes sense from an organizational perspective. It is obvious that Advanced Web-based User Interface GEs should fit within a new WP because existing WPs are not so much related. In a first approach, one may go for a design where there essentially the activities devised in the WeX proposal (dealing with the topic on Advanced Web-based User Interface in the 2nd Open Call) would go to that WP, while activities addressed in the FI-INMEDIA (dealing with the another topic on Stream-oriented GEs in the 2nd Open Call) may go to the WP on Data/Context Management. However, this would lead to a situation which is a bit unbalanced because the new WP will be very small compare to others. Besides, the Data/Context Management WP would become rather huge and difficult to manage. The solution that has came to my mind would consist in adding a new WP devoted to "Advanced Middleware, Web-based User Interface and Multimedia Enablers". This WP would concentrate tasks linked to specification and reference implementation of enablers targeted to: * support development of Web-based User Interfaces covering 3D and augmented reality and multimedia aspects * support multimedia enablers that may help to deal with stream processing and delivery of multimedia contents * advanced middleware technologies (i.e., KIARA) intended to help the above enablers to reach the best performance The Working Package Leader (WPL) would be ZHAW and I believe that the best idea would be to propose that DKFI becomes the Working Package Architect (WPA). Of course, all this under the necessary technical and overall coordination by TID and follow-up through the regular joint WPLs/WPAs follow-up confcalls. I see several advantages on this approach. Among others, moving KIARA to the new WP would help to better work on the details about how the KIARA middleware can be used to support the quite challenging requirements on performance that are expected for the other GEs to be provided by this WP. Besides, the approach would allow to concentrate the resources of DFKI in a single WP, thus easing their task as WPA. DFKI would not be only involved in the KIARA activities but also in the activities dealing with overall design of the architecture that supports advanced Web-based User Interfaces covering 3D and augmented reality capabilities and stream-related enablers dealing with processing and delivery of multimedia contents, contributing their know-how in both fields and also the fact that the proposed contributions for the first topic were relying on open source technologies developed at DFKI. I have already discussed this within TID (currently WPL in the Data/Context Management WP) in addition to ZHAW and DFKI (because they would become the WPL and WPA of this new WP, respectively) and they agree with this movement. Therefore, we will go for implementing the addition of this new WP in amendment 5 that for which the negotiation is going to start soon. Note that we intend to close this new amendment rather soon (targeting end of this month or first week of June). Therefore, we will proceed with this approach unless we receive an elaborated objection by any of you. I cannot imagine about any reason why there may be any objection to this but, formally, we had to ask :-) Best regards, -- Juanjo ------------- Product Development and Innovation (PDI) - Telefonica Digital website: www.tid.es<http://www.tid.es> email: jhierro at tid.es<mailto:jhierro at tid.es> twitter: twitter.com/JuanjoHierro FI-WARE (European Future Internet Core Platform) Coordinator and Chief Architect You can follow FI-WARE at: website: http://www.fi-ware.eu facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/FI-WARE/251366491587242 twitter: http://twitter.com/FIware linkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/FIWARE-4239932 ________________________________ Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.
