Eclipse sensiNact - keeping you in touch with your data

The smart city ecosystem is huge and varied - trying to keep pace with new actors, devices, standards and protocols can be an unending task. Adding new data sources to your system, or even just updating existing sources, sometimes requires huge updates and breaking compatibility. The Eclipse sensiNact project provides a simple lightweight smart city platform hosting a digital twin of your city infrastructure, suitable for deployment at the edge or in the cloud. Eclipse sensiNact makes accessing data or triggering actions for any of your city’s smart capabilities consistent, simple and flexible, regardless of what native protocol or data format is used underneath. In addition, sensiNact provides push notifications, integrates with AI to automatically respond to data changes, and can deploy business logic to the edge for fast “reactions” even if the wider internet is unreachable.

Migrating to Jakarta EE, does an API by any other name smell as sweet?

Tim Ward (Kentyou)

Are you using Jakarta EE yet? Creating the Jakarta EE project as an open home for Enterprise Java standards is one of the biggest changes in Java’s long history. The most obvious and immediate impact is, of course, that all the API packages changed their names. Look a little closer, however, and the ripples through the rest of the Java ecosystem are still moving. This talk will look at how the changes in Jakarta EE have impacted you not just as a user of the APIs, but also the Open Source projects and other Open Standards that you use as well.

The future of automotive is software defined! - How Eclipse projects will help creating in-vehicle applications.

Andreas Riexinger (Robert Bosch GmbH)

Traditionally the automotive industry was and is still centring around the hardware of vehicles and the corresponding hardware development and life-cycle management.
Software, however, is gaining more and more importance in vehicle development and over the entire vehicle lifetime. Thus, the vehicle and its value to the customer is increasingly defined by software. This transition towards the so-called software-defined vehicles changes the way

Why You Should Adopt an Open-Source Code of Conduct

Reza Rahman (Microsoft Corp.)

Technology communities almost by definition need to be open, welcoming, diverse, and inclusive to do the most good for the most amount of people. Yet without adequate checks and balances technology communities have an unfortunate track record to be anything but – especially for people on the wrong side of power dynamics such as women and minorities.

A Freakonomic Take on Open Standards and Jakarta EE

Reza Rahman (Microsoft Corp.)

Words like standard, de-facto, de-jure and open are frequently used and abused in our industry. The reality is that few people really understand what these words actually mean or how these ideas effect their own professional lives in the long and short term.

Equipping the Next Generation of Open-Source Developers

YK Chang (IBM)

Kathryn Kodama (IBM)

Karim Ali (University of Alberta)

Jeff Cho (Student)

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?

Towards a Comprehensive Open Source IoT RISC-V Stack

Frédéric Desbiens (Eclipse Foundation)

Alexander Fedorov (ArSysOp)

The RISC-V instruction set is now taking the world by storm. Since it is open source, many organizations designing their own processors and boards have leveraged it. If you are an IoT and Edge developer, you probably don't pay too much attention to processor instruction sets. This is understandable. However, IoT devices and edge nodes often benefit from being customized for specific use cases. Given this, it could make sense for you to leverage open source hardware and software together. But where will you find a comprehensive RISC-V based open source stack?

The Daimler FOSS Manifesto – Our Commitment to be truly Open

Wolfgang Gehring (Daimler TSS GmbH)

Fully embracing Open Source Software means to go beyond simply using it – it means to become an active member of the Open Source community. But how do we get there as a big automotive company? At Daimler, we decided that if we are going to take Open Source seriously, this needs to become deeply ingrained in the company’s “DNA”, away from a strict “we develop our own code” attitude.

Bring AI technology into Edge cloud computing

Yin Ding (Futurewei)

Akraino KubeEdge blueprint project builds real world Edge computing user cases based on KubeEdge. The first case of this project is ML Offloading. With Artificial Intelligence democratized into mobile phones, the computing resource limitation of mobile devices is increasingly a concern. More and more apps running on mobile phones have to offload ML related operations, starting with the public cloud. Offloading to edge is a natural thought for latency and data security considerations.
