Description
Summary:The ever-increasing acceleration of technology evolution in all fields is rapidly changing the architectures of data-driven systems towards the Internet-of-Things concept. Many general and specific-purpose IoT platforms are already available. This article introduces the capabilities of the FIWARE framework that is transitioning from a research to a commercial level. We base our exposition on the analysis of three real-world use cases (global IoT market, analytics in smart cities, and IoT augmented autonomous driving) and their requirements that are addressed with the usage of FIWARE. We highlight the lessons learnt during the design, implementation and deployment phases for each of the use cases and their critical issues. Finally we give two examples showing that FIWARE still maintains openness to innovation: semantics and privacy.
