[Fiware-wpa] NEC Commitments for MONTH-15 FI-WARE D11.4 Deliverable and requests confirmation //email 1 of 2//

[Ernoe Kovacs]

Dear Juan, Juanjo, all,

July is rapidly closing and we need to get done with the D11.4b "Standardization Plan v2".

I did a rough check on the status of the table we needed to fill in.
Just whether content is there and a quick sanity check. No detailed
analysis yet.

Thanks to all who already inserted material. Please find below
the summary status and concrete missing aspects.


Summary:

(a)    All please fill in all tables 7a, 7b, 7c. Too many are still missing.
Please do not merge them as they will be used for different purposes
in the final deliverable.

(b)   Please also look at the second action plan for answering to
the review comments. Some partners need to do stuff here.
Note: There are concrete actions to be done with respect to unclarity
in the original standard plan. Please work on them. If already
clarified in the new tables, drop us a note.

(c)    Overall, there is some progress on the issues, but the main critic point
"A coherent strategy" is not yet really materializing

Please discuss progress and actions in the WPL phone calls...

-          Ernö & Lindsay



Progress Standardization Plan

[Action 7a] Mapping of FI-Ware interfaces/protocols to Target SDO
Where documented:
https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/exploitation/index.php/Standardization_Plan_v2

Short Analysis of Status
(a) Cloud Hosting
Table 7a (IF to SDO) is existing and seems to reasonable content. Thank you.
Table 7b (partner responsibility) & 7c (Timeline) are commented out. Please add again.


There are clear indications that FI-Ware partners are in the position
and can influence respective bodies. We might get criticism that
it is not clear how we can use that potential. Please try to
- identify more concrete steps
- already established transfers
As said, it would be good to be a step more concrete

(b) Data Context Management
Not there yet

(c)  Internet of Things
Table 7a: Interface to SDO table existing and looking good.
Same comment as for Cloud: If possible somehow strengthen
the aspect that we actually do action. IMHO, for ETSI M2M
we can do that.

7b & 7C only started


(d) Applications Services Ecosystem
7a existing, might need some more details. Contributions from
other partners need to be entered.

(e) Security
Table for 7a, 7b, 7c filled in. Thank you.
Some entries missing, but it is coming into shape.


(f) I2ND
Table 7a existing, looking good, some concrete actions. Thank you.
7b and 7c not filled in yet.

Dear WPLs

Please find below the detailed plan for complete the standardization deliverable for M15, end of this month

Please react to what NEC, task leader, ask from you:

-       Identify a responsible partner per WP

-       Provide the inputs required in the wiki

-       Review content and format requirements

For any doubt please contact Lindsay/Ernoe, in cc

Thanks for your contribution

Juan

Dear FI-WARE management team,

Please distribute this email on PCC; fiware-wpl at lists.fi-ware.eu<mailto:fiware-wpl at lists.fi-ware.eu>; and  fiware-wpa at lists.fi-ware.eu<mailto:fiware-wpa at lists.fi-ware.eu>

We refer to information provided to NEC in a teleconference on 02.07 by FI-WARE management regarding
providing in the next 3 weeks a new Standardization Plan.

NEC protests at the way the management decision was reached and communicated. The decision took
no account of NEC proposals which were sent 23.05.2012 and for which responses were
twice requested. The decision now requires NEC to make a burst of effort in the next 3 weeks
to immediately create a new Standardization Plan, without considering NEC staff availability.
Furthermore, the needed strategic inputs are not in the hands of NEC to create.

Nevertheless, NEC has created a new fast-track plan with some chance of success, assuming continuous
and strong input from partners. Endorsement, help and support from FI-Ware management and PCC
is strongly requested. Depending on the inputs from FI-WARE partners and the later review of the EC,
NEC will reconsider its' future participation in this part of WP11.

Outline of Plan (detailed plan below):

·         FI-WARE WPLs identify which Generic Enabler interfaces are important and therefore crucial for standardization.
It is essential that a FI-WARE software architect complete such a list/diagram immediately to focus the work.

·         FI-WARE WPLs nominate responsible partners and _persons_ who will input the plan and status for standardization
at _specific_ SDOs, for _each_ of those important interfaces (a subset of all interfaces)

·         The nominated responsible persons input their plan into the private Wiki as described below, and update
the Wiki FI-WARE Standardization v2 (private wiki)<https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/exploitation/index.php/Standardization_Plan_v2> with (their) past contributions as well as planned future ones.
FI-WARE management team has promised weekly oversight of this activity.

·         NEC summarizes results in last week of July, creating D11.4b pdf from the Wiki

NEC requests confirmation of this plan, which is detailed below.

Yours sincerely,
Dr. Lindsay Frost,  Dr. Ernoe Kovacs

Attachment 2:
The following is the step-by-step plan:

(D) NEC Conclusions for Standardization Plan content and format

6.       General content required (to be generated by FI-WARE partners)

a.       identify what standardization makes sense for FI-WARE (targets),
taking account of specific gaps which the EC requested fixed

b.      identify where to do it (selected SDOs) /note: should reference "Section 2 CONTRIBUTE" actions in D11.4a/

c.       explain (if it is planned) where IP generated in FI-WARE is inserted into SDOs specifications

d.      for each selected SDO and FI-WARE target, show the timeline of how to achieve the target, with "concrete steps" and partners, starting work "even before usable results" as requested by EC

e.      show how ongoing actual contributions to SDOs fulfill the "concrete steps" (i.e. ongoing status)

7.       Step by step Format

a.       WPLs create a webpage mapping important FI-WARE interfaces/protocols to the Target SDO which could be responsible. It should also indicate any IPR which FI-WARE may bring in. This webpage would satisfy (D)6.a and (D)6.b and (D)6.c above.
In the opinion of NEC, standardization is most valuable for the exposed interfaces, and in a secondary way to efficiently design the internal interfaces. Therefore all exposed interfaces are important, and some internal ones. As an example of some important interfaces, the (old) picture https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/iot/index.php/Snapshot_2012.06.01_of_Deliverable_Page_for_D2.3_Architecture_Specifications could be used.

b.      WPLs create a webpage showing which partner is responsible for each important interface and their responsible person to make it standardized. The format can be a table ("Target SDO / Responsible Persons") with entries <SDO><Exposed Interface><responsible partner><responsible person><comment>.

c.       Responsible persons add to FI-WARE Standardization v2 (private wiki)<https://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/exploitation/index.php/Standardization_Plan_v2> page, for each Target SDO,  a timeline based on the SDO meeting schedules and methods, which is designed to get the exposed interface standardized. A partial example is given for ETSI M2M. This satisfies (D)6.d. This can only be created by the responsible persons who also ensure that that Target SDO work happens. It should indicate the phases as e.g. (1) feasibility-study (2) architecture (3) datamodels and protocols.
The format can be a table ("Target SDO / Contributions Table ") ordered by date, so later it is easier for the information to be integrated into a complete project plan, e.g. <dates> <SDO or Event><contribution title and SDO ID><Exposed Interface><responsible partner><responsible person><phase/IPR/comment/status>

d.      The responsible person updates the Target SDO / Contributions Table every week, with new planned inputs and new results. Care should be taken to note any IPR. This satisfies (D)6.e.

e.      NEC creates an integrated timetable showing the aggregated copies of all tables from step (c) above, which is the overview for the EC. NEC will combine it with (a) and (b) - assuming all partners have strongly contributed - so as to resolve all EC requests.

f.        Optionally partners can extend the information in (c) above, to include highly relevant non-FI-WARE results which are monitored (M). Also partners can include relevant work they do which however is not part of the agreed important interface work. Monitoring standards is also part of the standardization plan and this work should be reported to the EC, as long as it is shown as supporting a significant amount of active contributions work.

NEC rejects proposals to use Googledocs because NEC was required to change from doc to Wiki during the previous phase of the project and the good reasons for doing that still hold.
