[Fiware-wpl] Current draft of periodic report

[Andrea Manieri]

Dear Juanjo,

below the changes requested from the ENG side. Some further 
contributions to the WP10 will arrive from Stefano directly. Please, 
consider to perform a global reading, I found some typos and several 
partial texts.

E-IIS changes:

in Publishable Summary

The following text
·Evolution of the FI-WARE Catalogue and design of the FI-WARE Open 
Innovation Lab as base instruments of the target FI-WARE innovation 
ecosystem;

should be split in

- Evolution of the FI-WARE Catalogue and finalisation of the Development 
Tools, including the eLearning Platform whose need was recently spotted;
- initial integration of Development Tools into the Fi-CoDE
- Design of the FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab as base instruments of the 
target FI-WARE innovation ecosystem;


BTW, any such design is hidden somewhere, since It seems impossible to 
find anywhere. Please provide the reference.

in ch 2.1.7

Add the following sentence at the very end.

"WRT FI-CoDE is has been considered an enhancement of the constituent 
tools to take into account the needs of training, not just webinars. An 
eLearning Platform, a customisation of the open Source tool Moodle, has 
been set up and is available at edu.fi-ware.eu. During the next weeks a 
specific set of training material on the Fi-CoDE and all development 
tools will be created and uploade. The eLearning platform will be also 
available for the training from GEis owner and to host recorded sessions 
of webinars for future access.  An initial design of the Fi-CoDE based 
on the initial UC projects feedback on the handbook has been done."

in Ch 2.2
the following text
"

·*FI-CoDE Basic Framework *(formerly known as DevComE). The 
collaborative tools were ready at an early stage of the project to allow 
for a rapid adaptation and start of interaction of all the partners. The 
use of Fusion Forge endows the consortium with a powerful, very 
comprehensive and integrated work environment that provides the typical 
tools for a large scale collaborative project (source code repositories, 
tracking systems, mailing lists, wikis, documentation repositories...). 
These tools are suitable for the use of agile methods, like the ones we 
have adopted in FI-WARE. Related to this, the System/software 
Engineering Method for FI-WARE was also delivered.

should be replaced by the following

the period (namely, several Eclipse Plug-ins, Trace Analyser, PROSA, 
SOPECO) are now available and suitable for the use of System/software 
Engineering methods defined in the Handbook.


in ch 2.3.10
replace
"Set up of the eLearnong Platform "
with
"Set up of the eLearning Platform at edu.fi-ware.eu"

replace
" Concerning OSCL, after the new requirements collected and the 
acknowledgment of the OSCL tools status, E-IIS decided to close this 
task and give priority to new ones, such as the RESTful API testing 
functionality and the clients for the GEs to be provided in the Eclipse 
Environment. "

with
"Concerning OSCL, after the new requirements collected and the 
acknowledgment of the OSCL tools status, E-IIS decided to close this 
task and give priority to the more critical one, the integration of 
Fi-CoDe and the provisioning of the training content for the UC projects."

in 2.13.10.1
replace

The progress in this task 9.1 towards objectives is in line with the 
planned activities, aiming at realizing a set of functionalities to 
foster the developer's collaboration using Eclipse Plugins to interact 
with the preferred forge directly from Eclipse environment. In addition 
to this, it was designed (and started the development) that the FI-CoDE 
web interface integrates the CDE Manager, the Catalogue, the eLearning 
platform and the FI-CoDE User Management System.//

2.3.10.3
remove the paragraph
"

·E-IIS is also going to finalize the design and specification of unit & 
functional testing framework useful to test the Generic Enablers (before 
their integration in a FIapp) as well as web services exposed by FIApps. 
This functionality was not planned at the beginning and it is new driven 
by the sensitiveness of the UC projects to this aspect of the 
development lifecycle. Moreover, as concerns the deployment of a FIApp 
for testing purposes, the proposed solution is ETICS.//

same chapter

replace
"There are no deviations in this task 9.3."
with
"the initial analysis of deployment tools was focusing on using Eclipse 
as main entry point. Give the adoption of Chef by the Cloud Chapter for 
deployng GEis, the work has been re-orientered to re-use, as much as 
possible the interfaces provided by the Cloud Chapter"

page 121

remove the following
"

·E-IIS: the reason is that E-IIS planned effort is based on a linear 
planning not always realistic. In particular, in this period - and in 
the next six months - an overspending is foreseen due to the need to 
provide the final FICODE and the eLearning environment for the benefit 
of the Open Call projects. This overspending will be compensated with 
the expected under-spending in the last six months of the project.

"
because 0,72mm over 33 is not *significantly higher*

2.13.11

substitute reference to Engineering with E-IIS (please, check also 
elsewhere)

WRT WP11 and 12, as a Warning to everybody, there are no reference of 
the contribution to each partner. this may rise some concerns from 
reviewers perspective, given the effort allocated to major players.
