Future Internet
Public Private Partnership
• Following the call from industry and the Member
States, the Commission looked for ways of
implementation
• Future Internet is a core infrastructure in society, a
backbone for smarter cities and regions
• Novel societal and commercial usages are challenging
the original Internet architecture, i.e. the Internet of
Things
• Programme notion: much what used to take place at
project level is now transposed one level higher, to the
programme level (e.g. IPR, standardisation, KPIs,
dissemination,…)
Future Internet
Public Private Partnership
• It’s an in-situ experiment
• Integrated programme notion
• Euro 0.5 billion project
• Pathfinder for FP8
• Builds upon and complement existing efforts in FI
research
• Bridges the gap between private and public interests
• Led by industry and driven by users
• Address regulatory and legal barriers, drives policy
• EU wide attention guaranteed
• Global attention assured
Expected FI-PPP Outcomes (1)
• Identification, definition and up-dating of the Future
Internet requirements
• Specifications for an open standardised generic
framework combining the required network, data,
computing and services components
• Stock-taking and further valorization of the results
already achieved through earlier European research
• Broad based SME involvement
Expected FI-PPP Outcomes (2)
• Validated set of the technologies to support user
driven innovation schemes in real application contexts
• Platform validation through large scale trials
• Establishment of standardised interfaces where
feasible
• Contributions to EC and national policy and research
agendas
• Alignment with other ongoing Future Internet research
initiatives
FI-PPP programme. Phases
•
•
•
Phase 1 (2011-2012)
• Define the usage area requirements & Identify the
common enablers
• Identify the scenarios for early trials
• Start implementing domain specific functionalities
• Establish the programme support and coordination
structures
Phase 2 (2013-2014)
• Ensure availability of the necessary test infrastructure
for the early trials
• Develop the core platform and the use case specific
functionalities
• Run early trials for all use cases
• Prepare large scale trials
Phase 3 (2014-2015)
• Run large scale trials
• Involve SMEs at large

ENVIROFI Vision
• We envision …
• to establish an Environmental Observation Web in which
all environmental data, whether from sensors, citizens, or
models, are available anytime anywhere through the
Internet in a standardised, usable format
• a system with dynamic understanding of the Earth’s
atmospheric, marine and terrestrial spheres for the benefit
of all European citizens
ICT in the Environmental Usage Area
• Focus on observations
• Work based on standards
• Observations can originate from various sources
• Web-enabled sensors and sensor networks
• Citizen observations/
human sensors
• Models and data
fusion services
Scenarios
1. Bringing Biodiversity into the Future Internet
• Enabled biodiversity surveys with advanced ontologies
• Analysis, quality assurance and dissemination of
biodiversity data
2. Personal Information System for Air Pollutants,
allergens and meteorological conditions
• Enhance human to environment interaction
• Atmospheric conditions and pollution in “the palm of
your hand”
3. Collaborative Usage of Marine Data Assets
• Assess needs of key marine user communities
• Selection of representative marine use cases for further
trial: leisure and tourism, ocean energy devices,
aquaculture, oil spill alert
