The document discusses the Eclipse ecosystem, which includes the Eclipse Foundation established in 2004 to support the Eclipse open source community. It has grown to include over 300 projects, 1,400 developers/committers, and 130 million lines of code contributed annually. The Eclipse Foundation also supports numerous research projects in areas like embedded systems, IoT, and automotive through organizations like the APP4MC and AMASS projects. The goal of Eclipse is to build open source communities around collaborative development.

12. A FRAMEWORK FOR OPEN INNOVATION

13. Eclipse is all about Open Innovation
“Open Innovation is a paradigm that assumes that firms can and
should use external ideas as well as well as internal ideas…
The Open Innovation paradigm treats R&D as an open system.
Open Innovation is sometimes conflated with open source
methodologies for software development…While open source
shares the focus on value creation throughout an industry value
chain, its proponents usually deny or downplay the importance of
value capture.”

15. A theoretic basis about the management
of common property resources
• Elinor Ostrom (August 7, 1933 – June 12, 2012) was an American political economist.
• 2009: Nobel Memorial Prize with Oliver E. Williamson, for "her analysis of economic
governance, especially the commons".
• Ostrom identified 8 "design principles" of stable local Common Pool Resource
management:
1. Clearly defined boundaries;
2. Rules adapted to local
conditions;
3. Open decision-making
process;
4. Effective monitoring;

5. A scale of graduated sanctions;
6. Cheap and easy conflict
resolution;
7. Self-determination of the
community;
8. Multiple nested layers for
scalability.

21. • Finishing in September 2017
• Eclipse APP4MC is a platform for engineering
embedded multi- and many-core software
systems.
• The platform enables the creation and
management of complex tool chains
including simulation and validation.
• As an open platform, proven in the
automotive sector by Bosch and their
partners, it supports interoperability and
extensibility and unifies data exchange in
cross-organizational projects.

22. • AGILE builds a modular hardware and
software gateway for the Internet of
Things with support for:
– protocol interoperability,
– device and data management,
– IoT apps execution,
– and external Cloud communication,
• Featuring diverse pilot activities,
Open Calls & Community building
Adaptive Gateways for dIverse muLtiple Environments

23. • Architecture-driven, Multi-concern and Seamless
Assurance and Certification of Cyber-Physical
Systems
• AMASS will create and consolidate a de-facto
European-wide assurance and certification open
tool platform, ecosystem and self-sustainable
community spanning the largest CPS vertical
markets.
• It will start by combining and evolving the
OPENCOSS and SafeCer technological solutions
towards end-user validated tools, and will
enhance and perform further research into new
areas not covered by those projects.

24. • Started in January 2017
• CROSSMINER will automatically extract the
knowledge from OSS projects and inject it into
the IDE of the developers, at the time they need
it to make their design decisions.
• This allows them to reduce their effort in
knowledge acquisition and to increase the
quality of their code. CROSSMINER uniquely
combines advanced software project analyses
with online monitoring in the IDE.
• The developer will be monitored to infer which
information is timely, based on readily available
knowledge stored earlier by a set of advanced
offline deep analyses of related OSS projects.

25. • Started in January 2017
• RobMoSys will coordinate the whole
community’s best and consorted effort to build
an open and sustainable, agile and multi-
domain European robotics software ecosystem.
• RobMoSys envisions an integration approach
built on-top-of, or rather around, the current
code-centric robotic platforms, by means of the
systematic application of model-driven methods
and tools that explicitly focus on system-of-
system integration.
