OSGi

The Java Platform Module System delegates the job of selecting a consistent pool of modules to an external party.
The OSGi Resolver happens to be a tool for selecting a consistent set of resources. Any resources. Even JPMS modules. All we need to do is encode their dependencies properly. An interesting consequence of this is that now JPMS modules can also be selected as dependencies to other kinds of resources. Even OSGi bundles...

How Bosch is building its IoT platform using OSGi and Eclipse Vorto

Kai Hackbarth (Bosch Software Innovations GmbH)

"Digital Twin" is the new buzzword in IoT. "Digital Twins" basically are software representations of physical devices in an IoT platform. In times of growing complexity and diversity in the IoT platform landscape "Digital Twins" play an increasingly important role as they remove complexity for application developers when dealing with protocol adapters or device specific formats."

How OSGi drives cross-sector energy management

Jörn Tümmler (SMA Solar Technology)

In 2015 SMA - a leading global specialist in photovoltaic system technology - started a greenfield-development of a new energy-management gateway, with OSGi being the key technology for component based development.

This talk will present the key factors that lead to this decision, how we very carefully build up Java and OSGi knowledge, and started with an initial design. OSGi enRoute and the support of OSGi experts helped us to accelerate our development and become familiar with OSGi - although we also had times when we were struggling because of the new technology.

We will also demonstrate what we have reached until now and tell you if OSGi has kept it's promise ...

Migrating from PDE to Bndtools in Practice

Amit Kumar Mondal (Deutsche Telekom AG)

Jochen Hiller (Deutsche Telekom AG)

QIVICON is an Eclipse SmartHome based solution from Deutsche Telekom AG. It utilises OSGi to provide a modular Java runtime.

Since the beginning, QIVICON leveraged Eclipse PDE with Maven & Eclipse Tycho as its build technology but over the time, the complexity increased. It became hard to get an overview and manage the runtime and build dependencies. Especially maintaining target configurations for IDE and CI/CD build, having different embedded gateways for installation increased complexity significantly.

OSG(a)i: because AI needs a runtime

Tim Verbelen (imec)

Nowadays AI is reaching new heights on the hype cycle, especially due to recent advances in deep learning techniques. A lot of deep learning frameworks exist for creating and training deep neural networks, the most popular ones being PyTorch and TensorFlow. However, how to integrate, deploy and manage these neural networks in complex software systems is often overlooked. In this talk we show how OSGi can be used as a modular runtime for deep learning models. We embed those models inside OSGi bundles, and use the extender pattern to make these available as OSGi services.

OSGi CDI Integration Specification

Raymond Auge (Liferay Inc.)

This talk discusses the upcoming OSGi CDI Integration Specification and demonstrates common usage patterns and its component model that brings OSGi dynamics; like services and configuration, to CDI and provides for an ecosystem of CDI portable extentions.

MicroProfile: OSGi was meant for this

Raymond Auge (Liferay Inc.)

The craze is fully on. The past couple of years have seem micro services grow from next _flava_ to fully consuming of the software industry. The Eclipse micorprofile.io project is tackling the issue putting common usage patterns together over a foundation of CDI. What better assembly driver is there than OSGi to put it all together. This talk will demonstrate building your own MicroProfile using OSGi and the OSGi enRoute packaging model.

Popular patterns revisited on OSGi

Christian Schneider (Adobe)

We will look at common cloud and design patterns and see how the special properties of the OSGi environment allows us to rethink these patterns. The talk shows some well known patterns like the service registry and the whiteboard but also some unique patterns like out of band circuit breaker or graceful degregation.

How to connect your OSGi application

Dirk Fauth (Robert Bosch GmbH)

In todays connected world the requirement to connect applications across network boundaries has become a common requirement. With OSGi there are several ways to accomplish this, as there are different specifications to achieve this. In this talk we will look at some of these specifications to show what options there are and which might fit your requirements. Starting from an architecture that makes use of the HTTP Whiteboard pattern, over Remote Services to finally showing the usage of the JAX-RS Whiteboard specification introduced with R7.

Eclipse Modeling Framework and plain OSGi the easy way

Mark Hoffmann (Data In Motion Consulting GmbH)

This talk will show you how the EMF framework can be used in pure OSGi environments other than Equinox. We will introduce you into free configurable ResourceSets and the principle of a ResourceSetFactory. This enables your application to have multiple tenants with different model visibillity. The profit of OSGi services provides a behavior where even models can come and go all the time.

We will also give you look inside, how easy it is to extend the default code generation process of EMF to generate OSGi service component that handle the model registration in an OSGi way.
