IoT & Edge

DDS and MQTT are two commonly used technologies in IoT, Robotics, V2X, Aerospace, etc., that take diametrically opposite approaches to implement the pub/sub abstraction. DDS embraces a peer-to-peer model, in which applications communicate directly with each other. On the other hand, MQTT adopts a hub-and-spoke architecture in which a central broker mediates communication between applications. Both technologies have shown scale-up/down and scale-out limitations.

Eclipse Zenoh: Unifying Communication, Storage and Computation from the Cloud to the Microcontroller (sponsored by ZettaScale)

Angelo Corsaro (ZettaScale Technology SARL)

An increasing number of systems span from the data-center down to the micro-controller and need to smoothly operate across this continuum composed of extremely heterogeneous network technologies and computing platforms. Building these systems is quite challenging due to the limitations of existing technological stacks. This presentation introduces Zenoh, a Sub/Sub-/Query protocol that unifies data at rest, data in motion and computations. Zenoh has been designed ground-up to address the needs of the cloud to micro-controller continuum.

Worried about your AI IP? Not with ESF! Secure & scaling EDGE AI lifecycle management with Nvidia Triton integrated (sponsored by Eurotech)

Pierantonio Merlino (Eurotech)

Marcello Rinaldo Martina (Eurotech)

We will describe what kind of challenges Edge AI presents from an Intellectual Property Protection perspective. How models, the results of huge investments in time and resources, are deployed on edge computers without the cyber security measures required to protect them against theft and misuse. In the setup we describe, we deploy our valuable AI models in the field, secure and scaling regardless of whether we use them on a few, or thousands of devices. We will describe how Everyware Software Framework (ESF) can protect our AI models on the Edge by leveraging advanced encryption techniques and tight integration with Nvidia Triton Server.

Eclipse Tocandira - Use case in a industrial client

Pedro Souza (Aimirim STI)

Renato Silva (AIMIRIM)

Felipe Adriano da Silva Goncalves (Startup owner)

Eclipse Tocandira is a collection opensource tools that was recently added to the Eclipse IoT projects and aims to help industries to remove their barriers on observability.

This tool is already running in some clients and here we will talk about one of those use cases in detail.

No previous knowledge is required to attend to this talk and the attendees will know more about the Tocandira Project and how it is beeing used in practice for industries.

OSGi - Development on an Island

Guido Grune (Data In Motion Consulting GmbH)

The bnd remote agent is a small, less known and underestimated feature of bnd.

In an IoT environment, where you have limited access to the hardware, it is hard to develop and test an application.
What if you could develop as you do in your local environment?

Running your application from Eclipse
Saving your changes and it deploys automatically to the remote device
Debugging and hot code replacement

This talk will show you, how to set up such an environment with a Raspberry Pi, Eclipse and Bndtools

From Things to Assets – Using Eclipse Ditto as data source for your Eclipse BaSyx based Asset Administration Shell

Sven Erik Jeroschewski (Robert Bosch GmbH)

Manufacturers face the challenge of efficient data management when operating a heterogeneous system environment, including numerous devices. The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) realizes the concept of Digital Twins as a solution to establish the required interoperability among the different data sources by defining interaction models and abstractions for handling, representing, and accessing information.

Supporting Open Standards: Building an OGC SensorThings API for Eclipse SensiNact

Thomas Calmant (Kentyou)

The proliferation of IoT devices has led to a surge not only in sensor data, but also in data access mechanisms. To effectively harness this data and enable seamless interoperability between different IoT platforms, it is crucial to adhere to open standards. This talk aims to showcase how the modular design of Eclipse sensiNact allows a new OGC SensorThings API to be rapidly developed and integrated with the sensiNact gateway core.
