The European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) is the main operations centre for the European Space Agency (ESA), operating a number of earth observation and scientific missions. Monitoring and control functions needed by spacecraft operators are provided by software systems which are reused across missions, but tailored and extended for mission specific needs.
Setting up an OSGi project and running the application with bnd and Bndtools is quite easy as it provides the basics to get a developer started. Unfortunately, the default templates only get you settled with the basics. Companies have certain requirements on their code and often require builds to match the requirements of their company processes. Thus, something extra is required to help new developers get ready to roll and this tutorial will explain how this can be achieved. Attendees will understand how they can setup new projects and workspaces accordingly.
OSGi was originally designed for Smart Homes and Residential Gateways almost 20 years ago.
This talk will present how the OSGi specifications have evolved over the years, and how you today, in 2018, design an OSGi based Smart Home System.
A real world use case of a Swedish Smart Home start-up company will be used to illustrate different design principles and how OSGi remains as relevant today as it was when it started.
Every so often we need to introduce a new developer into our team who might not have experience with OSGi nor any other modular system. Have you ever thought how we can make adoption of new comers into your ecosystem easier?
Most of OSGi projects require some kind of tooling during both - build and development time. While we might live without second reliability of first one is a key of stable builds. As new hire you probably went over some introduction showing how to use properly tooling and surrounding infrastructure in order to become productive. Lets see together how much we can simplify.
OSGi Compendium R7 provides a major update to the OSGi LogService specification. A new logging API is added which supports logging levels and dynamic logging administration. A new Push Stream-based means of receiving log entries is also added. But it is quite often the case you need to use other code such as open source projects which are using slf4j for their logging API. This session will explore the new OSGi LogService changes and how you can integrate code using both slf4j logging and OSGi LogService logging.
Java 9 introduced the Java Platform Module System (JPMS) as a way to modularize the Java platform and it can be also be used by developers to modularize their own applications, although JPMS lack a number of important features for software running on the Java platform.
As people look to support the latest versions of the Java platform, changes introduced in Java 9 related to JPMS led to the needs for some features in the OSGi Core specification. OSGi framework implementations like Eclipse Equinox and Apache Felix and tools like Bnd were updated to support these new features.
Turtles all the Way Up - From OSGi bundles to Fog Computing.
The model of centralised cloud compute is changing. As large-scale IoT deployments have started to become real organisations are realising that a single central cloud can’t cope with the data security, data volumes, latency or robustness that they need for their businesses. Centralising in a single cloud also offers a huge operational risk - if the cloud fails, their business must continue!
With the proliferation of cloud computing and more recently mobile and edge computing, there is a increasing demand to build flexible and robust distributed applications. The OSGi service and module technology is a key enabler for such deployment. Recent additions to the OSGi standards provide a set of services that provide interfaces for managing distributed instances of OSGi frameworks.
This talk will demonstrate how easy it is to create great web user interfaces using the OSGi Service registry and Declarative Services.
OSGi has developed to the point that much can be achieved with much reduced code complexity. Forget all the past OSGi techniques and see how it can be done now.
A short introduction will introduce OSGi in general and even if beginners do not fully understand the finer details of the talk, they will be amazed at what can be achieved using the OSGi service registry.
In this talk we will share our experiences in developing a tool chain from classes, to bundles, to containers, to systems.
OSGi and Docker come together in a compelling way where the former provides modularity "in the small" and the latter "modularity in the large". We discover how the unique characteristics of OSGi enable a smooth transition from small to large.
