Descrizione del progetto
Soluzioni digitali per le future Water Smart Cities
Il progetto Fiware4Water intende replicare le storie di successo collegando il settore idrico a FIWARE, una piattaforma informatica open-source ideata nel 2011 nell’ambito del partenariato pubblico-privato Internet del futuro, finanziato dalla Commissione europea. Il collegamento del settore idrico alla piattaforma FIWARE contribuirà all’applicazione di soluzioni digitali innovative. In particolare, permetterà di combinare ed elaborare diversi flussi di dati, in un output standardizzato, per un uso migliore e più sostenibile delle risorse. La soluzione Fiware4Water sarà dimostrata per la prima volta in quattro casi dimostrativi che riguardano un’ampia gamma di problemi, come paradigmi esemplificativi delle sue potenzialità. In seguito, il progetto costruirà e svilupperà una comunità europea e mondiale di utilizzatori intorno all’ecosistema Fiware4Water, come piattaforma di accesso a soluzioni e modalità di gestione delle risorse innovative.
Obiettivo
"FIWARE is a smart solution platform, funded by the EC (2011-16) as a major flagship PPP, to support SMEs and developers in creating the next generation of internet services, as the main ecosystem for Smart City initiatives for cross-domain data exchange/cooperation and for the NGI initiative. So far little progress has been made on developing specific water-related applications using FIWARE, due to fragmentation of the water sector, restrained by licensed platforms and lagging behind other sectors (e.g. telecommunications) regarding interoperability, standardisation, cross-domain cooperation and data exchange.
Fiware4Water intends to link the water sector to FIWARE by demonstrating its capabilities and the potential of its interoperable and standardised interfaces for both water sector end-users (cities, water utilities, water authorities, citizens and consumers), and solution providers (private utilities, SMEs, developers).
Specifically we will demonstrate it is non-intrusive and integrates well with legacy systems. In addition to building modular applications using FIWARE and open API architecture for the real time management of water systems, Fiware4Water also builds upon distributed intelligence and low level analytics (smart meters, advanced water quality sensors) to increase the economic (improved performance) and societal (interaction with the users, con-consensus) efficiency of water systems and social acceptability of digital water, by adopting a 2-Tier approach: (a) building and demonstrating four Demo Cases as complementary and exemplary paradigms across the water value chain (Tier#1); (b) promoting an EU and global network of followers, for digital water and FIWARE (cities, municipalities, water authorities, citizens, SMEs, developers) with three complementary Demo Networks (Tier#2). The scope is to create the Fiware4Water ecosystem, demonstrating its technical, social and business innovative potential at a global level, boosting innovation for water."
