[Fiware-i2nd] Sharing Webinos Meeting Notes

[Woods, Chris]

Hello All,

Myself and Pier reached out to the Webinos Project to explore areas of co-operation. I would like to share the meeting notes from our phone conversation. There appears to be several areas of overlap, including:

1.       Connected Devices - Connected Device API implementation

2.       Security - Managing access to information, User profile etc

3.       Internet of Things - Access to device sensors, Access to local radio (Bluetooth / WiFi)

I hope this is of interest,
Chris


Meeting Notes: Webinos / FI-Ware Intro

Attendees:

FI-Ware

Intel: Chris, Joe

Telecom Italia: Pier, Stephen

Webinos

Nquiringminds: Nick Allott





High level synopsis
·         The two projects share a lot of similar technical goals
·         Co-operation on the following areas is possible:
o    connected devices
o    Security and authentication
·         Best way to achieve this is for Intel to join as an affiliate member





Overview of FI-Ware

FI-Ware  is  EU PPP project which aims to deliver a reference implementation of a platform for future internet development. FI-Ware postulates that the  future of the internet will consist of a series of inter connected services. These services will be implemented by GE ( Generic Enablers ). Companies and organisations will offer new services and products by implementing either brand new Generic Enablers, or by create generic enablers which aggregate the output from multiple other generic enablers. The project covers both cloud implementations of a GE structure, "connected" (mobile) devices, and networking technologies.



There are 30+ industrial partners involved, including:

Telefonica

Telecom Italia

IBM

Technicolor (set to box )



Intel's Involvement

Intel is involved in two key areas:
o    Cloud
o    Connected devices



Connected devices

The Connected Device "task" envisions the creation of a platform on a range of devices, from mobile handsets through to in car infotainment systems, that would support the FI-Ware GE model, and enable quick application development and delivery. It is envisioned that this platform will be a HTML5 + JavaScript access to native device functionality. This platform will implement core functionality required to support some of the core functional elements suggested as part of FI-Ware - including:
o    Supporting the Internet of Things (additional sensor information)
o    Interfacing with a cloud proxy ( in house cloud edge infrastructure)
o    Being remotely accessed from the cloud
o    QoS and Network QoS



Technically this direction overlaps with a lot of the great work already preformed by Webinos.



Connected Devices Platform creation

The connected devices task will try to create the platform by utilising existing technologies, and projects. This includes co-ordinating with other EU funded projects, such as Webinos.



Webinos
o    Inherits from WAC, BONDI, W3C
o    Intends to push back all results to w3c
o    Open source project
·   Ensuring that contributions can be patent free, and open to use without royalty is important
o    Significant investment in security solutions including
·   Creation of a Personal zone hub (runs in cloud)
·   Personal Zone Proxy (agent, runs on device)
o    Enables headless - "screen zero" javascript
o    Allows remote access to local resources -2 devices sharing sensors (camera on device A, accessed by javascript on device B)
o    Target devices:
·   TV
·   Car
·   Laptop / Desktop

Implementation in nodes.js
§  Windows
§  Linux (Ubuntu)
§  Mac
·         Mobile

Implementation in nodes.js
§  Android
§  Tizen

Limited implementations
§  Windows Phone 7
§  iOS
·         Future platform: Micro (Embedded / Sensor)

Implemented as a native 'c' implementation of PZP

APIS
o    22 core APIS. 18 have been allocated and are being implemented
o    Has local radio access and control APIS (Bluetooth, WiFi)
o    APIS are specified in WIDL



Co-Operation
o    Nick attended a prior co-operation meeting in Brussels., 2 months ago
o    Work in progress to open code base up to non-affiliate members, but not likely to completed until December 2011 / start of 2012.
