INTRODUCTION TO XIFI
The XIFI Project, its role in the FI-PPP and its objectives

4. What is XIFI?
• XIFI platform is the community cloud for European FI-PPP
developers enabled by advanced FI infrastructures in Europe
• XIFI, as part of the overall vision of FI-PPP and following the
principle “eat your own dog food”, is based on FI-PPP
technologies delivered by FI-WARE

5. XIFI and FI-PPP Programme
5
XIFI (1 Apr2013 – 30 Mar 2015)

6. XIFI objectives
• To support advanced experiments on the FI-PPP Core
Platform
• Deploy the Generic Enablers of the Core Platform on a
federation of infrastructure nodes
• Support FI-PPP Use Cases to deploy their applications
in the large scale
• Support a multiplicity of heterogeneous environments
• Leverage existing public investments in advanced
infrastructures
• Foster collaboration between the FI-PPP Programme
and other existing initiatives (EIT ICT Labs, FIRE…)

7. XIFI objectives
• Adding value to EU initiatives: linking test domains

FIRE
2nd Phase Early Trials

8. XIFI to achieve its objectives will:
• Develop a process for providing test infrastructures with the
necessary adaptation and upgrade to support the FI-PPP
Enablers from FI-WARE
• Start with 5 core sites and federate additional test
infrastructures to support the usage requirements stemming
from the FI-PPP Phase 2 pilot trials
• Validate the capabilities of the test infrastructures to support the
FI-PPP Enablers from FI-WARE
• Build up the test infrastructure capacity and capability to
support the massive increase in FI-PPP application/service
developers in Phase 3

XIFI approach

9. Stakeholders
Infrastructures owners and operators
• They will integrate and offer their facilities for experimentation within the FI-PPP
• They will allow the FI-PPP to make more ambitious large-scale deployments in the areas
addressed by the Use Case projects and beyond
• They will join the XIFI federation thanks to the open call
Future Internet developers and experimenters
• They will use and experiment the available FI-PPP technology and facilities by
implementing various interesting applications and using XIFI federated infrastructures for
their test experiments.
• They will have access the GEs and SEs deployed at different infrastructures in a
transparent way
• They will be able to create projects/experiments encompassing more than one single
infrastructure in a transparent way
Other users (Public authorities, SMEs, end-users such as associations, citizens)
• Public authorities will be engaged in order to support experimentation and to promote
public and private investment in infrastructures and federating infrastructures
• European entrepreneurs, SMEs, developers and application providers, students,
researchers, will be able to test what is being developed within their own domains

What are the challenges ahead
How to go from experimentation to large scale trials?
• Exploitation toward European Cities and Regions
• 800 Web Developers expected to use XIFI capacities
Synergies and cooperation between EU and US in the
next period
• Cross analysis of best practise among respective sites (Field
Trials, European and US Cities and Regions, Communities of
Developers)

12. The XIFI offer
XIFI is the market place to access FI-PPP
technologies and Future Internet infrastructure
offer for large trials developers in Europe
• The two fundamental elements of XIFI offer are:
– XIFI will provide Generic Enablers developed in FI-WARE
through high-available and reliable "federation" of
infrastructures.
– XIFI, to support the provisioning of GEs, will leverage on
FI infrastructures with different specificity (e.g. in term of
location, user community, quality of service, 'special'
hardware).

General Information

20. What are we looking for?
• Infrastructures that complement and extend XIFI
current offer (in term of location and FI facilities)
– http://wiki.fi-xifi.eu/Public:NodeDescription
• Infrastructures should have data center capacity to
deploy FI-WARE platform and XIFI services to be
connected to their FI facilities (e.g. sensor networks,
advanced wireless, smart factories, smart hospital)
• Infrastructures should cover a number of activities in
XIFI
