Eclipse Kura

We completely revolutionized our back end, and YOU didn’t even notice

In every project's lifecycle, there arises a defining moment, a critical juncture where one must confront the monstrous spectre of technical debt.
In this instance, the project's fate teeters on the precipice of choice.

In our newest release of Eclipse Kura 5.3.0 we silently swapped out our old networking stack to one based on NetworkManager, all while maintaining feature parity. This decision did not come lightly.

Addressing Edge AI Challenges to scale. Anomaly detection/inference made simple with Eclipse Kura & Kapua.

Salvatore Coppola (Eurotech)

Gregory Ivo (Eurotech)

Simone Fiorani (Eurotech)

Mattia Dal Ben (Eurotech)

Moving AI models from development to production has its own set of challenges and risks when the Edge is involved.

In this laboratory we're going to learn how to overcome these challenges leveraging the Nvidia Triton™ Inference Server, Eclipse Kura and Eclipse Kapua, two frameworks for the Edge and Cloud.

This laboratory will give attendees a hands-on experience of the entire lifecycle of an Edge AI application, from data collection to training to model deployment.

Hitchhiker’s guide to Eclipse PDE project development in VSCode

Mattia Dal Ben (Eurotech)

In this talk we’ll cover how we, in the Eclipse Kura team (an Eclipse PDE-based project), switched from an Eclipse IDE-only development environment to supporting a more diverse set of tools and popular editors such as VSCode, Neovim and Emacs. The goal of this talk is to provide the audience with the necessary instruments and know-how to follow our footstep and showcase the benefits (and limitations) of this kind of setup.

Six years of Eclipse Kura Wires - Open, No-code Edge IoT Development to Create Business Value (sponsored by Eurotech)

Nicola Timeus (Eurotech)

Eclipse Kura Wires has grown from its initial contribution to a production ready solution widely adopted in the field.

Its main goal is simplicity, allowing to implement IoT solutions using a visual data flow programming model that hides the complexity of the involved protocols and technologies.
The talk will provide an overview of the evolution of the framework up the current state, showcasing the key concepts behind it, its openness, extensibility and the existing ecosystem. We will show you how the framework is being used in real-world applications and use cases from the field.

Why build a go-kart from scratch when you can drive a race car for free. And also customizable.

Marcello Rinaldo Martina (Eurotech)

Now, imagine the road being your IoT Edge ecosystem and the car being your application that needs to bring valuable data from point A to point B. There are several things to consider when developing an Edge application.

You will for sure need to read data from sensors, process it, and send them somewhere else. Maybe you would need to add some remote device management functions, and, undoubtedly, make everything secure.

Advanced Edge applications require a lot of work. So, why not profit of Eclipse Kura? Eclipse Kura offers you an advanced, mature, and highly-secure software framework to easily deploy applications at the Edge.

In this talk, you are going to learn about the latest Eclipse Kura features and how to easily configure and manage devices remotely in a secure manner. Adopting a new framework is always challenging, so in this talk, I can give you my learning experience as a Junior Software Developer that has started working on this framework.

6 years of Eclipse Kura Wires: we wrote the code so you can do the magic

Nicola Timeus (Eurotech)

Eclipse Kura Wires has grown from its initial contribution to a production ready solution widely adopted in the field.

Its main goal is simplicity, allowing you to implement IoT solutions using a visual data flow programming model that hides the complexity of the involved protocols and technologies.

The talk will provide an overview of the evolution of the framework to its current state, showcasing its ecosystem, the key concepts behind it, the integration with the Eclipse Kapua cloud platform, and new and upcoming features. We will show you how to quickly implement the typical IoT scenario by writing no code and also illustrate some real world applications and use cases from the field.

Why Eclipse Kura and Eclipse Kapua treat EdgeOps headaches better than ibuprofen?

Gregory Ivo (Eurotech)

Let’s face it, deploying code is hard. Provisioning systems, installing dependencies, networking, and security constraints; things get complicated quite quickly. Now sprinkle in some ioT, and Edge and you have a complex deployment structure, which will surely give the most seasoned IT professional a migraine. Stop! don’t just take some Ibuprofen and deal with it, solve the problem at hand and use a framework which handles the tricky bits for you.

How to Train Your Dragon and Its Friends: AI on the Edge with Eclipse Kura

Pierantonio Merlino (Eurotech)

Mattia Dal Ben (Eurotech)

In the latest years, Edge AI has gained popularity and opened opportunities to bring AI applications to remote devices. Eclipse Kura, a well established IoT Edge framework, is a good candidate to apply Edge AI concepts to the real world.

In this talk we’ll demonstrate how a machine learning-based application can be easily deployed on an edge device, leveraging the Eclipse Kura features and its interoperability with the NVIDIA Triton™ Server. In particular, we’ll focus on the process of creating a deep learning anomaly detector from scratch: from data collection to training, deployment and inference on the edge.

Harmonize your device payload with Eclipse Vorto

Tim Grossmann (timgrossmann)

IoT is everywhere and the diversity of devices and sensors is overwhelming.
This leads to difficulties with the massive amount of different payload formats, APIs, and proprietary protocols.
The main issue is how to ensure that this diversity of connected devices can seamlessly communicate with platforms and applications, regardless of the different technologies, and systems.

In this session, we will talk about payload mapping with the open-source project Eclipse Vorto, which solves exactly these types of problems.
