FI-WARE is a project funded by the European Commission and major ICT industry players that aims to increase Europe’s Information and Communications Technology competitiveness. FI-WARE seeks to provide a truly open, public and royalty-free architecture and a set of open specifications that will allow developers, service providers, enterprises and other organizations to develop products that satisfy their needs while still being open and innovative. During 2013 and 2014 it will award €870K in prizes for developers and from 2014-2015 €100M in funding for SMEs that develop their projects on FI-WARE.

for Open Minds

2. FI-WARE is the Core Platform of the Future
Internet that eases the creation of innovative
applications, lowering the costs and complexity
of serving large numbers of users globally and
handling data at a large scale.
FI-WARE seeks to provide a truly open, public
and royalty-free set of open specifications
that will allow developers, service providers,
enterprises and other organizations to develop
products that satisfy their needs while still being
open and innovative.
FI-WARE will dramatically increase Europe’s
Information and Communications Technology
competitiveness by introducing an innovative
infrastructure that enables cost-effective
creation and delivery of versatile digital services,
high quality of service and security guarantees.

3. A working instance of FI-WARE named FI-Lab will be available to developers on the Internet (lab.fi-ware.eu). The FI-Lab
environment will not only be where developers can put FI-WARE at work and materialize their ideas. It will become the
pillar of a global Open Innovation Ecosystem bringing attractive incentives to the different stakeholders.

functions serving multiple areas of use across various sectors.
FI-WARE Generic Enablers are classified into the following main FI-WARE Technical Chapters:
Cloud Hosting
Internet of Things (IoT) Services Enablement
The fundamental layer which provides the computation,
storage and network resources on top of which services
are provisioned and managed.
The bridge where FI services interface and leverage the
ubiquity of heterogeneous, resource-constrained devices
in the Internet of Things.
Data/Context Management
Interface to Networks and Devices (I2ND)
The enablers easing access, gathering, processing,
publication and analysis of data at large scale, transforming
it into valuable knowledge available to applications.”
The enablers making it easy to take the most of
underlying network infrastructure capabilities.
Architecture of Applications /
Services Ecosystem and Delivery Framework
Security
The framework to co-create, publish, cross-sell
and consume applications/services, addressing all
business aspects.
The mechanisms which ensure that the delivery and
usage of services is trustworthy and meets security and
privacy requirements.
Advanced Middleware and Web-based User Interface
A set of enablers that make it easy to incorporate 3D & Augmented Reality
capabilities in web-based user interfaces, plus the most efficient backend
middleware ever.
