dear juanjo and all,

in addition to the points of pier which i fully buy (although not completely sure we should have the full consortium perhaps juanjo and jose must verify this with arian) i have the following minor points:
1. i realise there is no "official" presentation of the testbed this migth be fine, but requires some serious slides in others presentations (yours?). in this context it is important to show the current usage and effort we are doing.


  Note that there is a checkpoint (checkpoint 5) where we should address a full presentation of what has been made regarding the FI-WARE Testbed.   An URL with the whole set of checkpoints is available at:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/179ZoOb14Jcv7UQ2w7TGIvQHXfmVPi8GCHuGljQ80HWM/edit

  My plan was to discuss on our joint WPLs/WPAs follow-up confcall who may take care of producing the slides linked to each check point.   They should plan to present those slides during the first slot of the agenda (that way, it would be more dynamic and not just Jose or me talking during 45 mins).    I can anticipate to you (Stefano) that I would kindly ask you to work on the set of slides regarding checkpoint 5.

2. the live demo must have a common story to tell otherwise they are difficult and boring to follow. my suggestion is to create a simple story around smart city as it was the core topic of the day in seville.

  We have already designed such story.    It will incorporate the ability to show the integration of GEs coming from the Cloud, Apps, Data and IoT chapters.   We have been working on the matter and several confcalls have taken place on the matter (besides working meeting involving the teams that are actually developing the application-specific aspects of the demo)

  The demo is about a multi-tenant application, provided as a Service, that manages maintenance of vending machines distributed in several locations across a city.   It is a workforce management system to some extend.   We show how:

  *   The application provider can rely on Cloud capabilities can be used to host the VMs and the Object Storage (e.g., photos of vending machines taken in the field as to ease location or report on any damage) that the application requires
  *   The application provider can rely on capabilities of the Apps Business framework to deal with publication of the application supporting the ambitioned business model
  *   Developers can build the application using mashup technologies so that part of its UI is configurable and can be enriched with services coming from third application providers.
  *   The application can be acquired and configured by a customer (typically the company dealing with maintenance of a given network of vending machines)
  *   The application will rely at runtime on FI-WARE GEs coming from different chapters, and we will demo their interaction at runtime:
     *   We will be able to show how contextual information (status of vending machines, status of technicians in the field, etc) is gathered at runtime through an application-specific instance of the Pub/Sub Context Broker GE and offered to the application using the FI-WARE NGSI Restful API.   Of course, interaction with the IoT world will be mostly simulated (with the exception of the last bullet of this list) but we will illustrate the feasibility.
     *   We will show how the application connects to two global services (i.e., services being offered globally to multiple applications not just the one of the demo), one based on an instance of the FI-WARE Mediator GE that enables to send SMS, and another one based on the FI-WARE Location GE to locate technicians and/or their vans (despite we are not sure yet whether we will be able to show this last one working in the demo).
     *   We will show how technicians can actuate on some real devices (located in Telecom Italia labs in Turin) using services provided by IoT Gateway GEs.   Those technicians would be able to switch on or turn off of a vending machine which will be simulated by the switch on and switch off of a real device in Turin.
     *   A customer will be able to enrich the application with services coming out from other applications using WireCloud mashup capabilities
     *   If we have time, we will show how a technician would be able to upload photos of a given vending machine to the application's Object Storage.

  We wondered whether we could show something on Security Monitoring, but we are waiting for feedback from Thales in this respect.

  We will also elaborate on how other GEs could be incorporated to enrich the application (this to be shown as plans from the developer or application provider to enrich its offering):

  *   use of the CEP GE to detect some scenarios and perform some action (i.e., reboot a vending machine or display some advertising in the vending machine)
  *   use of the Compressed Domain Video Analysis GE to capture and process video of customers in front of a vending machine to display context-aware advertising (e.g., if the customer is female or he is fat)
  *   use of the BigData Analysis GE to be able to gather statistical data and analyze it to find out what are the most suitable products to be placed in the vending machines.  Also to combine statistics about actual consumption of vending machines and mobility of people in the city.
  *   demo how future Security Access Control GE can be used to ensure only proper access is allowed.

  It is true that the demoscript is not about SmartCities, but it would be easy to extrapolate how it would map into similar applications relevant to the Smart Cities (e.g,, maintenance of urban furniture or buildings, or cleaning services).   In this respect, I believe it is not bad to show that FI-WARE is not just tailored to smart cities (we are maybe over emphasizing this when we talk about exploitation plans)

  We have been working on a demoscript document (with screenshots and messages) since several weeks now and we plan to distribute it among reviewers during the project review.   We plan to have a first but rather complete draft of the demoscript ready for distribution by monday.



3 the exploitation day, crtically important given the questions and the push they gave in seville, should be well characterised as such. i suggest also for this day all the presentations to share the same structure and be very much conving statements instead of inspiring thougths ...

  Do you believe that we should address checkpoint 10 once again ?    What certainly needs to cover is checkpoint 11 and there we should prepare well the answer.  Let's discuss than during our joint WPLs/WPAs confcall.

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo

Dear Juanjo, dear All,

 the draft looks fine to me, I want just mention two points which might be relevant for the meeting (the first one being the most important):

1) There was a discussion at the last review meeting about the lack of a consistent risk management plan. We had a long discussion between first and second review day, then we had put this point in the agenda of WPL/WPA calls since this summer, but since then we never moved forward. Although this is not one of the checkpoints, I would expect this issue will come out again during the discussions at the review, therefore we should be prepared to answer properly.

2) The second FI-WARE Open Call closed officially yesterday. Obviously this is to be verified (maybe no proposal was submitted!), but if we find out there is a good participation level, it would be worth mentioning this fact as well in the achievements session.

Finally, I remember that some of the reviewers, offline, expressed the pity of not having one representative per partner at the review, to talk to them about the project.
Maybe it will be necessary having more partner representatives in any case due to the demo setup, and on the other hand sometimes having all the partners might create more troubles than not having them (e.g. provide contradictory answers), however I would suggest we take also this possible aspect into account.


BR
Pier

Subject: [Fiware-wpl] Draft agenda proposal for the FI-WARE Project Review

Dear colleagues,

  Please find enclosed a first draft agenda for our FI-WARE Project Review meeint on Nov 28-29.   I have structured it according to the following rationale

 *   First day:
    *   First we start providing a summary of the status, underlying major achievements (availability of the Testbed, FI-WARE Catalogue, selection of beneficiaries from 1st Open Call ...) and activities we have carried out to recover.  The message to bring is that we have made quite a hughe effort to bring the project to a state where we have recover from major issues.   We will also give a glimpse
on what comes next: evolution of FI-WARE GEs and further integration of FI-WARE GEs, everything targeted to deliver the second Release and the launch of the FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab
    *   Second we will directly go to the demo to show that it's not just about words, but software that works, also to illustrate that we have a vision on how FI-WARE GEs together fit the needs of the different stakeholders: developers, application providers and end users.
    *   Third we will elaborate, one by one, on the different checkpoints, to show that we have covered them or have made good progress addressing them.
    *   What comes next during the first day is relatively auxiliary.  The previous points are the ones which will determine whether we will succeed or not :-)
 *   Second day:
    *   Despite we have addressed checkpoint 11 in the first day (as one of the checkpoints), it would be worth to elaborate on exploitation plans further and report on what has been done in that WP.   Since reviewers and the EC have always pointed out this is a critical point, I believe it was worth resuming the second day covering the business and exploitation related aspects again.   We may even refine some of the messages delivered in the previous day.
    *   Rest of the day is more or less standard ... probably highlight that during the presentation of the collaboration, communication and dissemination we will elaborate on new processes established with UC projects

  Your comments are welcome.   Our plan is to send it by EOB tomorrow, so please react quickly.

  Cheers,


-- Juanjo
