Dear all,

we have been using a community account at the Fiware Lab (Cloud) so far.
However, the account has expired - and we would like to use it in the
future as well.

At the beginning of the current community account we had several
problems to find a suitably compiled CentOS. Initially we were on Lannion
node which proved to be a version with slightly outdate libraries not
compatible with our application (more info in this below). Still, we would like
to use it more heavily in the future, since we got our application running in
Spain.

Would it be possible to extend the duration of the account and if so under
which conditions? Would it event be possible to extend to computational
capacity that we can request? We even would like to include a customer
management system from the Fiware Enablers list.

The name it was registered under is my name:

So far the best node to install our platform and to use it, was the Spain
node.

Our motivation to continue the account is as follows (please refer to more
details in the attachement):

Fluid flow is noisy, annoying and health critical for people continuously
exposedto it. Examples are aircraft, wind turbines, automobiles,
climatization, household devices like hovers or kitchen hoods. For the
latter low noise devices are a competitive advantage. For others like wind
turbines restrictive noise regulations are in place, particularly when
operated close to settlements. Low noise design principles need
integration in the design and construction phase of devices as early as
possible, in order to reduce costs, failures, and improve energetic impact.
This can only be reached by numerical simulations. So far the
computational demand of fluid flow simulations coupled directly with
acoustical predictions inhibited establishing appropriate and efficient
workflows. Particularly, engineering houses (simulation service suppliers)
or SMEs require access to appropriate flow and noise prediction software
plus high performance computing architecture. _In contrast to available
solutions the Nuberisim platform is solving both issues: providing
specialized software for coupled fluid flow and noise prediction as a web
application with intuitive access to a high performance computing
infrastructure (provided by computing centers or Cloud).

This project is both in need and ideally suited for running on the FIWARE
Cloud.

Our start-up Falquez, Pantle and Pritz GbR (founded in 2014) has
developed the
Nuberisim platform concept. Nuberisim consists of the software for fluid
flow and noise simulation, largely developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of
Technology (KIT), and the platform environment. After successful
deployment of the prototype (see URL and more details in the
attachement), three elements are required, where the FIWARE Cloud and
the FIWARE Enablers will leverage
significantly development time and time-to-market. The latter is expected
to be
performed within the next weeks instead of the next half year. The three
elements are:

1. Use 3 different Generic Enablers (see box "Additional Comments");
2. Use the FIWARE Lab Cloud for free test accounts for our professional
   pilot
   customers;
3. Expand the service drastically at a second stage after testing through
   professional customers.

The Enablers are needed to integrate efficient 3D visualisation of the
simulation data (grids, results), to efficiently render them for the
customers and stream them to their browsers. Next to testing the
Enablers, the FIWARE Lab Cloud is urgently needed at this moment for
offering free test accounts for professional first time customers. Only
recently a successful "mass test" with students of the basic Nuberisim
functions (login, configuration of simulations, starting parallelized
simulations through 30 people at the same time, receiving convergence
data streamed plots) has been performed and first pilot customers are
currently testing Nuberisim. However, since the prototype is running on
AWS instances which need to be kept online for testing, this causes
substantial costs per month. The limited resources of the start-up limit
heavy customer testing and therefore delay the time-to-market
significantly.

Best regards,

Iris Pantle
