Dear All,

I believe the tasks below are more related to "complex event processing"
than "location platform":
[#321] SMARTAGRIFOOD.Epic.data.MobilityAnalysis.ProcessOfUserLocation
[#393] SAFECITY.Theme.Data/Context.Localisation Platform GE.Event
Localization

Please evaluate.

Juanjo, fyi I have updated all other tickets assigned to Rémi. We both are
on vacation until 2nd of January.

Best regards and Merry Christmas !

Tanguy

Hi,

  We will start 09:45am sharp.   I would rather encourage you to read the
message below in the 15mins between 09:30am and 09:45am.   This will save
us some time during the confcall.

  Carlos had distributed the dial-in and webex bridge details

  Cheers,

Hi all,

  This is to report to you about the decisions taken regarding topics for
the first Open Call in FI-WARE.   Please share this info with your
respective teams.

  Going through a sequence of three intensive dedicated confcalls, the
FI-PPP AB has came to an agreement on how to handle the higher priority
topics raised by the UC projects as well as what will be the topics to be
addressed in the first Open Call (a number of topics proposed by FI-WARE
have been incorporated in the analysis in respect to this last point).

  You can get a wrap-up of this exercise summarizing the agreements reached
looking at the sheet titled "Wrapup" in the following shared Google docs
spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqGGeaQGro3fdHFLUXozQU9lem5rWVRBeS02czJmNlE&hl=en_US#gid=1


  As you will see, only two topics will be addressed in the first Open
Call.   Following the advice of our PO, Arian Zwegers, we have decided to
split the original first Open Call into two Open Calls, therefore having a
total of three Open Calls overall.   We have also decided to go for a very
short list of topics in this first Open Call.   This is because:
      Again, following our PO advice, we have to take the opportunity of
      this Open Call to learn about how to manage the Open Call process so
      it's better to make it a "small trial"
      We had to face the challenge of describing in detail and in
      collaboration with the UC projects what we will ask for in the
      description of this first Open Call, which has to be issued by end of
      January 2012.  We have little time/resources to do this for too many
      topics, overall taking into account that we need to face a number of
      deliverables by end of January.   In addition, many of the
      high-priority topics that both UC projects and ourselves have in our
      list (some of them shared) are still described in a too high-level so
      clearly there is a need to work on further refining them as to
      distill the actual features we want to support in FI-WARE.   This is
      something that makes sense to afford during Q1 of 2012.


  Regarding the two particular topics selected for the first Open Call, let
me elaborate a bit on them:
      Middleware for efficient and QoS/Security-aware invocation of
      services as well as exchange of messages.
      There were several UC projects that were asking for this, not just
      for implementing communication between different parts of the
      application but for invoking services exposed to applications by the
      FI-WARE GEs.   Therefore, we will have to go for it definitively.
      However, I see here the opportunity to drive what has to be developed
      in a way it can become useful in FI-WARE to help a) solving some of
      the issues we had identified during our Security workshop on November
      that have to do with managing access control through credentials when
      handling requests to services, b) dealing with several accountability
      and traceability issues and c) enabling a technology-neutral
      definition of GE interfaces.   I will elaborate more on what I
      believe we may push into the definition of requirements for such
      middleware in the "Glue Middleware" Task Force we agreed to launch in
      our last joint WPLs/WPAs follow-up confcall.
      Business Models and Business Elements (BM & BE) Definition and
      Simulation


      This is leveraged in a request made by UC projects to have means for
      simulating how costs of deploying a given application on top of
      FI-WARE (not only hosting service costs but costs derived from using
      other FI-WARE GE services or even third-party application services)
      could be simulated.   Here, I found the opportunity to map this to
      our critical need to address the development of a BM & BE definition
      support component in the context of the first Open Call since this
      will be a base component of the Business Framework Reference
      Architecture for which an asset hadn't been identified.   On the
      other hand, from my point of view, merging the two things together
      makes a lot of sense because any party that is able to contribute a
      product that implements this sort of simulation (which is the
      ultimate need expressed by the UC projects) may have probably
      implemented its own tools for defining the basic BM & BE on which
      simulation is based.   Therefore, it makes sense to me to go and
      adapt our basic BM & BE Model to the one such potential new partner
      may bring.


  Regarding the rest of topics some of you had proposed, they where
discussed and we agreed that they may go for the second call after their
functional description is further defined, which is something that should
happen during Q1 2012.

  Regarding the rest of topics raised by the UC projects, I would like to
highlight the following:
      Augmented Reality and 3D User Interfaces were brought to the table.
      Fair enough, these topics are clearly something we were not covering
      but have to do a lot with the kind of User Experiences someone would
      expect to see supported in Future Internet Applications.  Therefore,
      I find it rather suitable to cover them through Open Calls which may
      attract rather specialized partners on the topics.   In my view, this
      may probably lead to definition of a Working Package on User
      Interface support where, BTW, we may explore whether multi-device and
      multi-channel access to applications (currently in WP3 and somehow
      lacking of support) may be collocated.
      Many UC projects are looking for means in the platform that will
      enable them to assure certain QoS at infrastructure level not just at
      centralized Data Centers but end-to-end.   This had been mapped into
      a number of requests assigned to the I2ND chapter.   UC projects do
      not expect to manage QoS at communication level from the application
      themselves (other than through the basic middleware targeted in the
      1st Open Call).   What they expect is to be able to select, configure
      and contract the SLA linked to an application at
      configuration&deployment time.   SLAs that I see would be expressed
      in terms of a number of SLOs (Service Level Objectives).   In words
      of one UC project:
            What would be very nice to have is a service which I can ask:
            "I need connectivity from A to B", and the service will answer
            "OK, you have 10 possible paths, price is such, characteristics
            of connection are such". If this is done properly, my
            application can then choose the "most reliable", "least
            expensive", or "most secure" path (and this will be seutp
            automatically).  Next thing would be monitoring to see if the
            promised characteristics were really delivered (otherwise I
            don't pay...)
      I agree this has to be a functionality that has to be provided by
      FI-WARE but will require a close coordination between the Cloud, I2ND
      and Apps (Business Framework) chapter, so let's really assign this a
      high priority in our discussions.   BTW, this clearly matches one of
      the cross-chapter Task Forces we identified during our last joint
      WPLs/WPAs confcall (Network-aware Cloud Task Force)
      Many UC projects also have requirements for distributing their
      applications partly in the centralized Data Centers and partly in
      cloud proxies at the network-edge.   Many of them wish to see the
      concept of cloud-proxy generalized as to cover smartphones and other
      smart but small devices.   This comes along the need to be able to
      describe this distributed taxonomy at the time applications are
      configured and deployed on FI-WARE as well as the need to define
      means for handling failures in communication between the Data Center
      clouds and cloud proxies (periodic synchronizations and the like).
      This doesn't come as something new to us, but confirms the need to
      afford the definition of the necessary components at the Cloud
      chapter that can deal with this and prepare this as a subject for the
      second Open Call.
      Another common requirements have to do with a) being able to assign a
      level of certainty/trust to data being managed by the application and
      b) being able to manage access and views to data depending on
      credentials of the user on behalf of whom an application is trying to
      get access to data.   Both requirements are clearly generic and
      probably useful for many applications but we agreed we have to
      explore to what extend this lead to definition and development
      (through an Open Call) of enablers that can really qualify as generic
      and go beyond those defined in the Data/Context Management chapter.
      Several UC projects also expressed the need for several kind of
      "data-stream-oriented" GEs.   For instance, the notion of
      Publish/Subscribe but linked to streams rather than to atomic data
      units.    Again, this seems to be something generic and useful enough
      for many applications but we agreed we have to explore to what extend
      this lead to definition and development (through an Open Call) of
      enablers that can really qualify as generic and go beyond those
      defined in the Data/Context Management chapter.
      Rest of requirements were about topics I believe most probably are
      already in our roadmap or should not be a big issue to include in our
      roadmap.  We agreed to follow them during Q1 2012 as to confirm this
      or not.



  Hope this long summary gives you a clear picture.    Next steps will mean
working on the detailed development of Epics that will be published as part
of the first Open Call and will provide an enough detailed description of
what we are looking for there.   In addition, setting up a number of Task
Forces on the topics above, involving UC projects, where we will address
identification of Features.  Such features will either enrich our current
FI-WARE backlog (because we find they would fit within the roadmap of
already identified GEs) or will be used for describing what will be
requested in the second Open Call.   More details will follow in the first
weeks of January.


  I take advantage of this email to wish you all a very nice Christmas and
a Happy New Year.   Cheers,
