FIESTA-IoT WPs were launched upon the project’s plan and the competition were completed gradually within the proposed plan and thus based on an overall duration of the 36 months. Nevertheless, extensions were requested to evaluate external experiments, execution of the evaluation and integration of Feedback.
WP1: Project Management:
• Data Management Plan: The Data Management Plan has been generated as part of the organisation and execution of the FIESTA-IoT project and it span and was updated along the duration of the project.
• Open Calls: The organization of the FIESTA-IoT 1st Open Call has been totally carried out and reported accordantly. The FIESTA-IoT 2nd Open Call has been organised and carried out. The FIESTA-IoT 3rd Open Call was organised and launched and resolved successfully and the FIESTA-IoT 4th Open Call has been carried out successfully and all the experiments and testbed evaluated positively.
• GDPR and DPIA Delivery: FIESTA-IoT consortium has identified a gap in relation to Data Protection for the collected data. This gap is an important aspect that by design was not described nor considered or included as part of the execution of work plan back in 2013. i.e. it is not described in the Document of Activities (DoA). This gap is a consequence of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that has been announced and released as a draft since October 2017.
WP2: Requirements and Specifications:
• KPI’s and Requirements: The KPIs and the functional and non-functional requirements for global market confidence and certification were described.
• FIESTA-IoT Architecture Design and Specifications.
• FIESTA-IoT implementation Plan: The training platforms and design platform for the implementation activities that are synchronized across all the work packages.
WP3: Federated Virtualized Testbeds Infrastructure and Tools
• Integrated FIESTA-IoT Platform: The first and foremost achievement of this WP has been the integration of the FIESTA-IoT Platform.
• FIESTA Tools and EPIs: The integrated FIESTA-IoT Platform facilitated the EaaS paradigm by exporting a set of tools and APIs that experimenters can use to access the datasets and data-streams produced by the underlying testbeds in a completely agnostic manner.
WP4 - Federated Virtualized Testbeds Infrastructure and Tools
• Tools for testbed Federation: In addition to the Platform set-up, the mandatory next step that has been also the federation of four testbeds within it.
• FIESTA-IoT feedback for Improvement: The feedback received from the real testbeds that have been federated has been used to tune the Platform interfaces and requirements imposed by the FIESTA-IoT Platform towards the testbeds integration in a larger scale, so that it is as simple and effortless as possible to federate new infrastructures.
WP5 – Experiments Design, Delivery and Evaluation
• Experiments Design and Specifications: Experiments have already been implemented and demonstrated are able for consuming the EaaS interfaces that the FIESTA-IoT Platform offers.
• Experiments Deployment and Execution: Actual experimentation on top the existing platform is the most important to assess the functional and non-functional requirements of the FIESTA-IoT Platform.
• FIESTA-IoT Support Model: FIESTA-IoT has studies and analysed an operative model for ecosystem desk to act as a single point of first contact to support both experimental users and SMEs;
WP6 – Global Market Confidence Program
• Certification On-line Program: The certification suite comprises, for the moment, a scorecard, the semantic data validator and the interoperability-testing tool, for testing the openness and interoperability of a given IoT platform or testbed. Based on Testbed Provider Services specifications, test cases are developed to test the compliance and interoperability between FIESTA-IoT Platform and testbeds.
WP7 - Dissemination, Exploitation, Sustainability Work Package
• FIESTA-IoT Sustainable Infrastructure: FIESTA-IoT has developed a plan for exploiting key results in order to create a sustainable experimental IoT facility. Developing a strong sustainability plan, and then align the architectural development of the platform with this plan.
