This document discusses connecting the Sakai and uPortal systems at the Australian National University (ANU). It wanted to bring a portal online, link existing systems, and create a "one stop shop" for services. It achieved this by developing a portlet that renders Sakai tools inside uPortal using the IMS Basic LTI standard, and by creating new web services. The portlet allows users to choose tools from different Sakai sites. Configuration details are provided for Sakai, the portlet, and future work on a generic Basic LTI portlet.
This document discusses open standards and their role in information technology. It provides definitions of key terms like standardization, open standard, and formal vs. informal standardization. The document outlines the benefits of standardization for interoperability, innovation, and reducing costs. It also discusses the role of various standards bodies and frameworks in Europe and globally.
The document summarizes a presentation given at the 7th International Conference on Real-Time Simulation Technologies in Montreal from June 9-12, 2014. The presentation was given by Bob Stasonis from Pickering Interfaces, Inc and discussed Pickering's history and products, including fault insertion units (FIUs) and breakout boxes (BOBs), and proposed a new combined FIU and BOB design for use in hardware-in-the-loop system (HIL) and electronic control unit (ECU) testing that would offer increased flexibility and customization compared to existing solutions.
The document discusses the F-Interop project, which aims to develop online remote interoperability and performance testing tools for emerging IoT technologies. It notes that a lack of interoperability currently hinders 60% of IoT value. The project seeks to support SMEs and researchers by integrating European testbeds and developing online testing, certification, and labeling mechanisms. It outlines the testing lifecycle and roles within the platform, lists currently supported protocols, and provides details on an open call for new testing tools, test designs, and plugtest events.
Open IoT Made Easy - Introduction to OGC SensorThings APISensorUp
This is the slides presented at FOSS4G N.A. Conference.
This presentation will introduce and demonstrate the OGC SensorThings API. The OGC SensorThings API is a new Open Geospatial Consortium standard that provides an open and unified way to interconnect the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, data, and applications over the Web. Unlike the traditional OGC standards, SensorThings API is very simple and efficient. At the same time, it is also comprehensive and designed to handle complex use cases. It builds on a rich set of proven-working and widely-adopted open standards, such as the OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards, including the ISO/OGC Observation and Measurement (O&M) and Sensor Observation Services (SOS). The main difference between the SensorThings API and the OGC SOS is that the SensorThings API is designed specifically for the resource-constrained IoT devices and the Web developer community. As a result, the SensorThings API follows the REST principles, the use of an efficient JSON encoding, and the use of the flexible OASIS OData protocol and URL conventions. We will also demonstrate several real-world applications of the OGC SensorThings API in emergency management and smart cities. In addition to introduce the specification, this talk will also demonstrate an end-to-end IoT application based on the open source libraries of the SensorUp SensorThings platform.
The document describes a networking training institute that provides courses and certifications for technologies like CCNA, CCIE, and networking security, with award-winning infrastructure and labs for hands-on learning, and discusses networking concepts like devices, types of networks, protocols, and routing.

23. Results summary export
• Total test time : minimum 3 minutes per fiber.
• The data is automatically saved in one
directory – no technician intervention
required.
– All raw OTDR, CD, PMD and AP traces are
saved (5 per fiber: 1310 OTDR, 1550 OTDR,
PMD)
– The test set automatically creates a *.txt
file which saves Loss, ORL, CD, PMD and
AP results in pre‐formatted columns.

24. Now we have the results, or?
• In fact we have only raw data.
• The real work starts now.
• Interpreting the results of the measurement.
• Therefore you need an expert that knows
everything about standards of fiber types.
• He also must be able to combine the results
and make the right conclusions.

26. G.652 Characterization:
• The original G.652.a+b fibres were designed to be
used in the 1310 nm region. They were specified for
1310, 1550 and 1625 nm wavelengths. The newer
water peak less types G.652.c+d have no 1625 nm
specifications anymore. These types can be used for
Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM)
over shorter distances. The typical range is extended
LAN, MAN and access network systems.

27. G.653 Characterization:
• The G.653.a+b fibres were originally designed
for transmission at 1310 and 1550 nm, but
with a zero chromatic dispersion in the 1550
nm region. Typically used for long haul
transmission systems in combination with
Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers (EDFA) in the
third window only.

14‐15 October 2010, Ohrid www.seeita.org
28. G.654 Characterization:
• The G.654 family is intended to be used in the
1550 nm region only without DWDM
applications. It lacks a good performance at
1310 nm and thus can cause problems.
• It can be used with high power lasers and will
not alter as quickly as other types.

29. G.655 Characterization:
• The G.655 fibres are designed for use with
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing
(DWDM) systems in combination with long
haul distances. The specifications can be
made spot on for the transmission system
allowing low losses due to low Chromatic
Dispersion compensation losses. The choice is
between positive and negative compensation
for a certain window.

30. G.656 Characterization:
• The G.656 fibres are used for wide band
optical transmission such as CWDM and
DWDM. They avoid a zero chromatic
dispersion slope in the 1460‐1625 nm range.
• This enables operators to compensate only in
one direction with small differences between
the wavelengths.

31. G.657 Characterization:
• The G.657 fibre family is similar to the G.652.d
but is less bend sensitive. Type a can also be
used for CWDM transmission, due to the
absence of a water peak. Type b is for use at
1310, 1550 and 1625 nm only. Typical use
would be access or FTTX.

32. Conclusions:
• Wa have a lot of different fibers.
• Each has its own characterization.
• Often you will find a mix of fibertypes in your
network.
• The outcome of a measurement as shown
above is the total result of the link.
• An expert is able to tell you what happened
really in this link.

33. Combine the results:
• Difference in MFD and a non consistent
zerodispersion at your CD result will tell you, that
different types of fibers are involved.
• When the AP result shows a high loss at the
waterpeak region around 1383 nm you will know
that there is an old part G.652.A in the network.
• Sometimes you have to exchange only a smal part of
the link. A good expert will save lots of money for
you.
