9. The FI-WARE Project – Base Platform for Future Service Infrastructures Management of Open Calls  We plan to maintain ~30% (12M Euro) of the project budget for distribution among new partners  New partners will be selected through Open Calls to allow for responding to emerging user requirements not identified at the start of the project, e.g., › due to new usage areas, new technologies, new economic conditions  Specific component of the budget will be reserved for SMEs (aprox 30%) and Research Centers (aprox 30%)  Selection of new partners will be done according to the procedure issued by the Commission European Commission 23 October 2009v1a Guidance note for project coordinators planning a competitive call for additional beneficiaries in an ICT Integrated Project or Network of excellence

13. The FI-WARE Project – Base Platform for Future Service Infrastructures Some FAQs (1/2)  Do we need to form a consortium or just one entity is enough? R/ See rules. We do not need a consortium, we already have one  Looking for SW developers or innovative, ground breaking work? R/ Good foundations and results to be integrated. We are not reinveinting Internet, rather we want to put into use to the citizens  Are you looking for built, completed solutions? R/ We need to innovate, but we are also valuing existing results (software that works) and expertise. Integration is important.  Should we write a long, impact related document? R/ we need description your results rather than “standard” impact sections However, we really would like to see commitment to the implementation

14. The FI-WARE Project – Base Platform for Future Service Infrastructures Some FAQs (2/2)  Any constraints regarding IPRs ? Specification of APIs and interoperable protocols linked to any product/technology contributed to FI-WARE must be open and royalty-free Must be licensed free of charge in the context of the PPP Must be licensable under FRAND terms outside the PPP  How can I really understand what you have already?. R/ See our web site (www.fi-ware.eu)  Can provide you some example of the kind of things you are looking for ? R/ Still too early but be sure we will mostly ask for rather concrete products, technologies or skills Examples (not meaning they are real): › Document-oriented No-SQL Data Storage Technology › Development of advanced widgets for an Event Monitoring Dashboard Console
