15 Years of Xtext

Since its inception in 2008, the Xtext framework has become a de-facto standard when it comes to domain-specific languages that run on the Java virtual machine. Its mature editing support in Eclipse, VS Code, and other LSP-based editors has proven a success factor for its adaption throughout different industries. Truth be told, it became quiet around Xtext in the past years. Development is stalled, even basic maintenance is in jeopardy, and it's hard to predict its future.

Jumping the contribution hurdles - Let's help Newcomers

Hendrik Ebbers (Open Elements GmbH)

Most people at EclipseCon are experts in open source contribution and adding code to an eclipse project is a no-brainer for them. When having a look at newcomers like young man and woman that just finished school or university the situation is totally different: While that people are badly needed to move our projects to the future and strengthen the diversity of the maintainers the hurdles for a first contribution are sadly quite high.

Leveraging Eclipse SUMO and Eclipse MOSAIC: Unleashing the Power of Digital Twins for Efficient Urban Mobility Management in Berlin

Moritz Schweppenhäuser (Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft)

Robert Hilbrich (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR))

Michael Behrisch (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR))

Managing road traffic in metropolitan areas like Berlin is a significant challenge for stakeholders such as local authorities, city planners, and automotive and logistics providers. In this presentation, we will showcase the utilization of open-source tools, Eclipse SUMO and Eclipse MOSAIC, to enhance urban mobility management, offering substantial benefits for these stakeholders.

Through the looking glass: Effective observability for cloud native applications

Emily Jiang (IBM)

Our cloud-native environments are more complex than ever before! So how can we ensure that the applications we’re deploying to them are behaving as we intended them to? This is where effective observability is crucial. It enables us to monitor our applications in real-time and analyse and diagnose their behaviour in the cloud. However, until recently, we were lacking the standardization to ensure our observability solutions were applicable across different platforms and technologies.

The future of mobility is software defined! - From connected vehicles to software-defined mobility with open-source

Andreas Riexinger (Robert Bosch GmbH)

The transformation of the automotive industry is still ongoing and the business needs to be transformed as well, from hardware-centric vehicle architecture into a software-centric design to e.g., deliver-enhanced digital experiences.

The realization of Software-defined Vehicles comes with a lot of challenges related to

Driving the automotive industry into the future with Open Source -- Eclipse Automotive - Open Collaboration for the Automotive Industry

Andreas Riexinger (Robert Bosch GmbH)

The transformation of the automotive industry is still ongoing and changes the way automakers, their partners, and customers create value and benefit from vehicles and transportation. Open source software (OSS) has become an integral part of development and helps fuel innovations in areas like AI, autonomous driving, and connected cars, which are driving growth and profitability. More and more automotive companies are not only using Open Source Software, they are actively contributing to and starting new Open Source Projects, which was not imaginable some years ago.

Building a Sustainable Future through Open Source (sponsored by Huawei)

ADRIAN OSULLIVAN (Huawei Technologies Co., LTD.)

There is perhaps no greater shared challenge facing our world today than climate change. If we are to address this issue, we must collectively improve the technologies we both create and use to help improve the world. From increasing their energy efficiency to using them for protecting the wild, open source has a key role to play in building technologies for a sustainable future.

Reaching and Equipping the Next Generation of Open-Source Developers

Grace Jansen (IBM)

Open Source has become the defacto way to build software. Everywhere we go, whether in the industry or not, we will come across open-source software and open-source software development. How and what are we doing in enabling the next-generation of up-and-coming developers to participate in open-source software development? Wouldn't it be wonderful if there are ways for the community, industry and academia to collaborate and nurture the next generations of open-source developers?

Best practices for Human Mobility and Real-time Machine Learning

Fawaz Ghali (Hazelcast)

The applications of real-time machine learning on human mobility data continue to grow, thanks to the increase in digital mobility data, such as phone records, GPS traces, and social media posts. This has led to exponential growth in areas such as next location prediction, crowd flow, trajectory generation, flow generation, disease spreading, urban projection, and well-being.
