The idea of finding a theory of everything providing the minimal set of abstractions for dealing with data in motion, data at rest and computations, at any scale, has always fascinated and to some extent obsessed us. We have been working on this problem for years, refined our abstractions, evolved our sensibility, and deepened our understanding of the problem — after years of sweat, we think we have possibly found the answer.

Dataflow programming is a fundamental software paradigm widely adopted in various applications, ranging from Signal Processing to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Autonomous Vehicles (AV), Data Processing and Robotics. The underlying concept is rather simple: a computing task is decomposed into a graph of operators through which flows the data to be processed.

What Edge Computing Can Learn From the Moon Landings

Frédéric Desbiens (Eclipse Foundation)

2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Decades later, the Apollo program still stands as one of humanity's most impressive technical achievements. To think that we sent people in the void of space using a computer running at 1.024MHz and around 76K of memory!

Stretching Cloud technologies to the Edge: do they fit?

Gabriele Baldoni (ADLINK Technology)

Luca Cominardi (ADLINK Technology)

Edge computing is raising as the next paradigm in IT and it aims to provide cloud-like functionalities closer to end-users. This shift has the potential to drastically improve the Quality of Experience of the users as well as to enable unprecedented use-cases (e.g., Connected Factories, Connected Cars, Augmented Reality, etc.).

Edge Computing Is Not Just Hype: Real World Solutions with Eclipse ioFog (Invited Talk)

Todd Papaioannou (Edgeworx, Inc.)

Edge computing is all the rage right now. Some people even say it is more important for the future of IT than cloud computing itself. Is this real, or is this just hype? In theory, edge computing helps solve the challenges of bandwidth, latency, resiliency, and data sovereignty. Those benefits, however, will be hard to realize in the real world if you rely on a platform built by people just riding a wave. You need a real platform with real users, rooted in lessons from the trenches.
