[Fiware-speakers-request] Invitation to organize a shared "Open Platform" event on "open distributed systems"

[Mohammad-Reza (Saied) Tazari]

Dear AllJoyn, Fi-Ware, oneM2M and universAAL communities,

your four communities have been identified as the most advanced ones 
that are targeting Internet of Things / device ensembles / "open 
distributed systems".

The Action Group C2 of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and 
Healthy Ageing (EIP-AHA) 
<https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/eipaha/actiongroup/index/c2> has mandated 
me to try to create an organizing committee for a shared event on 
overlapping "Open Platform" approaches to IoT with the goal of 
exchanging knowledge and leveraging synergies. The European Commission 
has offered to host the event at its premises in Brussels.

A rough idea (naturally subject to discussion) is that probably within 
two days, the event should first give enough opportunity to each 
community to present the *_characteristic details_* of the corresponding 
_*technical approach*_. Then in some parallel topic-specific sessions, 
discuss the overlaps and possible synergies, and finally report from 
each session to the plenary and conclude if any common roadmap or even 
actions can be agreed on.

 From a timing perspective, this is what I would suggest:

  * until mid of November 2014: to form an organizing committee for this
    event from the representatives of the four communities (e.g., two
    people from each community)
  * until mid of December 2015: to agree on the general approach, fix
    the date, and publish an announcement text
  * until end of January 2015: to finalize the agenda
  * somewhere in February / March 2015: to have the event


What do you think? Would you join and collaborate?

Best regards,

-- Saied Tazari
