OSGi Community Event 2016 Presentation by Jan Rellermeyer (IBM), Tim Verbelen (imec) & Jochen Hiller (Deutsche Telekom AG)
Eclipse Concierge provides a clean, small and lightweight implementation of the OSGi core framework specification, specifically tailored to embedded systems and IoT. In this talk, we will cover how to use and deploy the Concierge OSGi framework (e.g. using OSGi enRoute), and discuss many of the new and upcoming features in the Concierge project such as the OSGi REST interface and Cloud Ecosystems reference implementations. We will also present our work in progress on implementing the OSGi R6 core specification level and novel demonstrations that illustrate the advantages of having a lean and streamlined OSGi implementation to deal with deployment and dynamism in IoT applications.
OSGi & Java in Industrial IoT - More than a Solid Trend - Essential to Scale ...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2016 Keynote Presentation by Robert Andres (Eurotech) & Walter Hofmann (Hitachi High Technologies)
With the promise of “real” IoT, the requirements for computational capabilities and agility at the edge demand IT-centric architectures and solutions that are based on open and industry standards. “IoT stacks” that are built on OSGi and Java’s solid foundation ensure effective modular software development and management on abstracted hardware.
Total cost of ownership in these IoT solutions matters a lot more than the simple combined hardware and software cost per edge node. Sophisticated software elements – including business intelligence tools, databases, and analytics packages – leverage data remotely and centrally to achieve the best results for customers. A perfect example of an analytics solution using such an approach is the predictive maintenance solution that Hitachi offers, leveraging Eurotech’s IoT hardware and software building blocks that heavily rely on OSGi.
Implementing API-led Cloud-native apps on OCISven Bernhardt
Session was held at DOAG 2020 Online edition!
Cloud-native is the way new applications should be built today. It doesn’t matter here, if the application is going to be deployed in the Cloud or On-prem. The most important thing is that an application is applicable for getting the most out of the Cloud with respect to efficiency. APIs and Containers are essential building blocks of Cloud-native applications. As Cloud-native apps are driven by APIs, the development of such an app should start with defining the API in an API design-first approach.
Within this session I’ll give further insights into what makes Cloud-native development different from classical app development. Furthermore, we’ll go through the respective development steps (API design, Service development, Deployment to OCI, API exposure) to make the session more practical. For exposing the app to the outside world OCI API Gateway will be used. The development of the Cloud-native app is done using Oracle’s Microservice framework Helidon.
API Gateway or Service Mesh - Complementary or excluding conceptsSven Bernhardt
Presentation slides from DOAG conference 2020.
API Gateway are already around for a while. With the rise of Microservices architectures and highly distributed architectures, new concepts like Service meshes arise. Since Service mesh and API Gateway implementations seem to have similar functionalities, we have to deal with questions wether to use the one or the other. But is it really an “or”? Maybe is it just another fallacy?
In this session, I’ll explain basic concepts, common functionalities and differences for both concepts, to answer the question, if it’s complementary or excluding concepts? To make this session more practical, it’ll be supported by coding examples where certain aspects of the talk are shown based on Cloud-native example app that run upon OCI.
Service integration made easy with Open Source KumaSven Bernhardt
Cloud-native application design is the new default. Cloud-native applications are often organized as a collection of independent and loosely-coupled services, allowing for more flexibility and agility with respect to changing business requirements. Application runtimes become hybrid at the same time, so we have to deal with distributed cloud and on-prem workloads. This makes the world even more complex from connectivity perspective, since services forming an application need to interact with each other, with already existing monolithic applications and this both on-prem and in the cloud.
As we can see, there’s a lot of network communication involved and since the network needs to be considered unsecure, it must be ensured that it happens in a secure, reliable and comprehensible way. Since efficiency and agility is a critical factor nowadays, we need new , modern approaches which allows development teams to act act autonomously while being able to focus on the important things at the same time.
A service mesh like Kuma can help you to address the arising challenges in the area of security, connectivity and observability transparently by moving the responsibility from the application to the infrastructure layer. At the same time, a service mesh gives a self service path to development teams for implementing respective requirements more efficiently. This means an extension to traditional connectivity handling approaches, where traffic is restricted by firewall rules and explicit knowledge from a network team is needed. This allows for implementing business requirements more efficiently and more flexible with respect to connectivity and reliability.
This session gives an introduction to Kuma, how it is different from other service mesh implementations and shows how easy it is to get started with it.
How to take distributed architectures to the next level with API gateways and service meshes.
Anyone who thinks that the trend towards cloud-native applications is passing by like a hip fashion trend is overlooking something: Cloud-native is basically a puzzle piece in a larger game. This puzzle piece helps make solutions for a runtime environment, for example, as flexible as possible. Which is not unimportant. The goal of the big game is to build a software architecture that is capable of change on the one hand and robust at the same time. To do that, we need a lot of puzzle pieces, and move strategically through each level. Because while we realize cloud-native solutions as a microservices architecture, we get highly distributed architectures that present us with difficult tasks in areas such as deployment, security or connectivity. We have to solve these tasks before we enter the next level.

What's happening in the OSGi IoT Expert Group? - Tim Wardmfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2015
The IoT Expert Group is the newest Expert Group in the OSGi Alliance, but what exactly is an Expert Group, and what does it do? What does that mean for OSGi as an IoT platform?</p>
This talk from the chair of the IoT Expert Group will cover the progress of the IoT Expert Group since its creation in July, what outputs we can expect to see in the future, and also information about how you can get involved with the Expert Group.
The OSGi service platform has existed as a modular micro-service runtime for well over a decade, and it was originally created to run on small embedded systems in the home. It turns out that the same model works very well on servers and in the cloud, making OSGi the perfect platform for end-to-end IoT development.
In the last twelve months the OSGi Alliance have been on an IoT requirements gathering mission, the result of which has been the new IoT Expert Group. Fresh from their first official meeting in Turin the IoT Expert Group is now ready to start the process of building new standards within the Alliance. If you're interested in getting involved, or just curious about what's going on, then come along to find out more.

If so, then come learn about the Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse project. The Cloud Foundry eclipse plug-in allows developers to perform such tasks as deploy applications to Cloud Foundry, view and manage deployed applications and services, and perform direct debugging when using a Micro Cloud Foundry. Come learn more about the current tools and community, what is planned for the future, and ways you can contribute.
ITCamp 2017 - Florin Coros - Decide between In-Process or Inter-Processes Com...ITCamp
One of the challenges of designing distributed systems is to decide which of the services that compose the application are loaded in the same process and communicate directly and which should be deployed on different boxes and use inter-process communication. Sometimes, we cannot anticipate this at all and we’d want the flexibility to change it based on usage metrics collected while the system is running in production.
In this session we will learn, from real life projects experience, how we can achieve the flexibility of deciding only at deploy time, without changing the code, on which of our services communicate in same process and which use inter-process communication. We will achieve this using the iQuarc.AppBoot library, which is an abstraction over a Dependency Injection Container and provides support for modular applications.
Cloud-native Integration in the Oracle CloudSven Bernhardt
Presentation held on DOAG 2020 Online edition
The world is hybrid! So, from my perspective Cloud-native is the way new applications should be built today, no matter the context or the problem to solve. With respect to integration architectures this means that we need to rethink the way integration architectures should be built using the advantages and benefits of arising technologies to tackle new challenges in the integration space, like dynamic, unpredictable workloads. The good new is: The patterns stay the same!
Within this session, I’ll go through the components of a modern integration stack based on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (API Gateway, Streaming, Functions, OKE, …) and how those components might be combined to create flexible, robust and sustainable integration solutions.
In this presentation you will learn what Kubernetes is and how you can use it to deploy highly available applications. I’ll cover container orchestration concepts, the Kubernetes architecture and cloud native applications patterns.
The most important moments in the lifecycle of an application would be covered:
creation of the environment where the application will run,
deployment of an containerized app,
application debugging,
exposing the application to users,
scaling up,
zero downtime updates.
Audience should be familiar with Docker (containers) and have basic ideeas about microservices architecture and cloud computing. I’ll include a live demo (deploy app on hosted kubernetes platform, perform autoscalling, kill applications).
Slides that go along with the Webinar conducted as part of the ONAP University on May-21-2018. The slide deck describes the issues we faced with ONAP Amsterdam release, and how we worked around the issues.
Modularity, Microservices and Containerisation - Neil Bartlett, Derek Baummfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2015
This talk will review the current trends of Microservices and Containerisation and explain how, for the Java ecosystem, OSGi has already delivered this vision and addressed the manageability issues that Docker-based systems still face.</p>
The importance of self-describing artifacts and dependency management will reviewed along with an explanation of how this is addressed in OSGi and Docker centric ecosystems.
The talk will conclude with a demonstration showing how OSGi standards can be leveraged to build a compelling Container Orchestration and Runtime environment.
The importance of APIs is increasing. Usually, API projects do not start on a green field. Often there's an existing, mostly monolithic application landscape, which needs to be embedded and integrated with new applications implemented in a Cloud-native fashion on new technologies like Kubernetes. The question is: Which principles must be considered to build a future-oriented, flexible API management platform? It is potentially not enough to simply work with a central, monolithic API gateway solutions. But, what requirements are placed on a modern API management platform? This session will give an introduction on how modern API architectures should be build, considering concepts like Microgateways, Ingress and Servicemesh.

ITCamp 2017 - Raffaele Rialdi - A Deep Dive Into Bridging Node-js with .NET CoreITCamp
NodeJS and .NET are incredibly successfully and widely adopted platforms. What if we could transparently use both in the same project?
With xcorenode nodeJS plugin it is possible to create .NET objects, call methods, properties, subscribe events and take advantage of asynchronous (Task) methods.
During the session, we will deep dive into the key points of the plugin sources: setting up a basic V8 plugin, hosting the CLR Core in C++, mastering the libuv threading library, dynamically generating the marshalling code to invoke classes, managing the object lifecycle and finally using the plugin within nodejs … but not only!
This will also be a great occasion for myself to gather wishes and suggestions for the next upcoming version of xcorenode.
You’ve probably heard a lot of time that Xamarin tools generate native applications for iOS and Android, but how does this really work? What is the difference between developing with ObjectiveC/Swift and Java? What are the problems that could arise by using the Xamarin approach? Come and see as we take a look under the hood of the Xamarin frameworks.
API First or Events First: Is it a Binary Choice? Rohit Kelapure
When do you use API-first or events-first architecture? Is this a binary choice? This is a false dichotomy! A mental model is needed to frame the architecture, packaging, and programming choices for modern applications.
Varying degrees of combination of events and APIs can be used to design a system. Event notifications-based systems require an API callback to the source. CQRS and event-sourcing patterns, on the other hand, are on the complex end of the event-driven spectrum. APIs also have a maturity model, evolving with the adoption of reactive paradigms.
In this session, we’ll look at heuristics such as cost, latency, security, and external integrations that will influence implementation. Architects will learn actionable fitness functions to strike a balance between APIs and events to build sustainable architectures.
OSGi toolchain from the ground up - Matteo Rullimfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2016 Presentation by Matteo Rulli (FlairBit)
OSGi learning curve is steep but its benefits widely surpass difficulties: OSGi gives you sensible dependencies management, pluggable extensions mechanisms, strong modularity, out-of-the-box semantic versioning support and strong contract-based software development.
In this talk I’ll describe how to build an effective OSGi toolchain from the ground up: integrate maven and bndtools, set-up a test-driven development workflow on top of OSGi, use maven repositories as a baseline for semantic versioning and leverage bnd remote launcher to effectively debug bundles on remote target runtimes.

Distributed Eventing in OSGi - Carsten Ziegelermfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2013 (http://www.osgi.org/CommunityEvent2013/Schedule)
ABSTRACT
One of the major topics the OSGi alliance is working on is a proposal for distributed eventing especially in the cloud. This session starts with an overview of the current state in the alliance and then shows already available solutions from the Apache Sling open source project. This includes distributing events through event admin and controlled processing of events by exactly one processor in distributed installations. The current implementations will be set in context to the ongoing activations in the alliance.
SPEAKER BIO

Working for over 25 years in open source projects, Carsten is a member of the Apache Software Foundation and heavily participates in several Apache communities including Sling, Felix and ACE. He is a frequent speaker on technology and open source conferences and participates in the OSGi Core Platform and Enterprise expert groups.
OSGi Community Event 2016 Presentation by Milen Dyankov (Liferay)
OSGi has evolved and matured beyond recognition over the last few years. It’s now easier than ever before, to build dynamic, modular Java applications to address the challenges imposed by ever growing and constantly changing business requirements. Despite that fact, OSGi seems to be far from receiving the appreciation it deserves. And if you are OSGi developer who now wanders “why should I care?”, let me remind you Thomas Edison’s famous quote “The value of an idea lies in the using of it”!
Growing large community around given technology has proven to be an essential part of its success. In this talk I’d like to go over what OSGi community is (not) doing to attract “outsiders”. I’d also argue it can do much better than that. Based on observations and conversation from the last 2 years trying to advocate for OSGi among Java developers. I’ll try to position the technology it today’s reality of microservices, containers, clouds, DevOps, automation, Java 9, … and bring to your attention the perspective of an “outsider” together with all the presumptions, fallacies and promises it comes with. Finally I’d like to share some ideas about how to address those, promote relevant parts of OSGi and thus perhaps make it more attractive to Java developers!
Lean Microservices with OSGi - Christian Schneidermfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2016 Presentation by Christian Schneider (Talend)
Microservices and their frameworks like spring boot allow to start fast but can easily produce ugly monoliths or tangled webs of fine grained dependencies. OSGi on the other hand provides great modularity but is regarded as more complex than spring boot and alike. This Talk shows how to create lean and modular microservices using OSGi, maven, bndtools and Apache Karaf. The build result is a runnable jar or docker image and nicely fits microservice deployments. See how OSGi allows the flexibility to deploy each microservice on its own and let them communicate over (REST) remote calls or deploy them together and talk using OSGi services locally using the same business code bundles.

Developing Distributed Internet of Things Applications Made Easy with Concier...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2015
Building Internet of Things applications can be hard once you want to do more than a blinking LED. The OSGi specifications provide a set of open standards describing a dynamic module system for the Java language which greatly facilitates the development of complex modular applications. With Eclipse Concierge, a minimal footprint implementation of the OSGi R5 core standard programmers and operators can now benefit from the same modular software development on various embedded devices as they already use on desktop machines and servers. Together with small and efficient implementations of remote services and remote management of the OSGi runtime, building distributed IoT applications becomes a piece of Pi.

Eclipse Modeling Framework and plain OSGi the easy way - Mark Hoffman (Data I...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Mark Hoffmann (Data In Motion)
Abstract: 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.
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by BJ Hargrave (IBM)
Abstract: 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.
This session will explore the Java 9+ support added to OSGi Core R7 and Bnd and help you learn how to navigate the world of Java 9+ and OSGi.
Simplify Web UX Coding using OSGi Modularity Magic - Paul Fraser (A2Z Living)mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Paul Fraser (A2Z Living)
Abstract: 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.
Do not be frightened by the terminology, come along and experience the magic of OSGi modularity.
User interfaces do not seem to get much attention in the OSGi community, it is time for a change.
OSGi for the data centre - Connecting OSGi to Kubernetes - Frank Lyaruumfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Frank Lyaruu
Abstract: OSGi offers an excellent service discovery mechanism, it is limited to services inside the JVM. That limits us in two ways: It limits us to Java services, and it limits us to one single machine, and neither are acceptable in this day and age. Can we connect our OSGi runtime to a cluster orchestration manager like Kubernetes so our runtime can interact with the cluster and allow us to respond to changes in the cluster as dynamically as we are used to in OSGi itself. I think we can.
Notes:
I will show how to discover Kubernetes services (and their pods) in a cluster, and inject those as configuration objects into an OSGi runtime. That allows us to monitor the Kubernetes cluster and dynamically have our OSGi services respond to (Kubernetes) service changes.
In general I hope to nudge the OSGi community to be more focused on connecting to other technologies rather than trying to stay in the OSGi walled garden. A well engineered OSGi application is perfectly suited to the dynamic nature of the cloud native world, but if we can't easily integrate with other services, well, nobody will care.
Remote Management and Monitoring of Distributed OSGi Applications - Tim Verbe...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Tim Verbelen (imec) & Jan S. Rellermeyer (TU Delft)
Abstract: 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. The REST Service (added in R6 compendium) offers an easy and language-independent way to manage bundes and introspect services from outside the network. The Cluster Information specifications (added in R7 compendium) provide means for applications to manage and monitor the deployment intrinsically, building on top of the Remote Service specifications. In the Eclipse Concierge project, we have provided the reference implementations of both specifications. In this talk, we will show how the services can be used to build distributed applications that benefit from the OSGi modularity.
OSGi with Docker - a powerful way to develop Java systems - Udo Hafermann (So...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Udo Hafermann (Software AG)
Abstract: 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.
The resulting environment enables developers to grow distributed systems on their local machine and test them with plain JUnit at all levels of granularity - classes to systems. During development OSGi enables the tool chain to update the system without container rebuilds.
While an increase in productivity is one benefit of such an environment, an arguably more important benefit is the way it empowers developers to gain new insights.
A real world use case with OSGi R7 - Jurgen Albert (Data In Motion Consulting...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Jurgen Albert (Data In Motion Consulting GmbH)
Abstract: OSGi is often conceived as a tool to write efficient Java Applications for resource limited Devices or If resources are a real issue in complex applications. On the other hand Microservices became the buzzword of the cloud and is often implemented using Spring or other Programming languages. OSGi carries the concept of microservices in its core and is therefore much better suited to the task then most other approaches. This talk will show you how a service can be built with a real-worldish use case, leveraging the power of OSGi R7. It will show the combined usage of PushsStreams, the JaxRS Whiteboard, the configurator, remote deployment and a lot of the other cool things OSGi has to offer.
OSGi Feature Model - Where Art Thou - David Bosschaert (Adobe)mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by David Bosschaert (Adobe)
Abstract: OSGi lends itself well to develop extensible applications assembled from reusable modules, where a set of bundles together with a set of configurations deployed to a provisioned OSGi framework is the application.
While this works very well for the originally intended use-cases, maintaining and building large applications developed by multiple teams often requires to assemble multiple larger components for which there is limited support in OSGi as of today. This is especially true in cases where multiple groups of bundles, configuration, metadata, and other artifacts need to be combined.
In this talk we will introduce you to OSGi RFP-188, named OSGi Features, which defines the requirements on providing a solution. We'll establish a shared understanding of the problem space and how it relates to already available mechanisms in OSGi (like e.g. subsystems, deploymentadmin, startlevels, etc.) and will subsequently, review it in the context of some of the current (open source) solutions like Apache Karaf Features and Apache Sling Features and Bnd.
Migrating from PDE to Bndtools in Practice - Amit Kumar Mondal (Deutsche Tele...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Amit Kumar Mondal (Deutsche Telekom AG) & Jochen Hiller (Deutsche Telekom AG)
Abstract: 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.
Bndtools is the 'swiss army knife' in the context of OSGi development since it takes the nitty-gritty pains and loads off the developer's chest. And that's why we decided to avail the benefits of Bndtools.
But, many other OSGi-based projects still cannot avail the benefits as they are very tightly coupled with Eclipse PDE. Want to make a switch from your existing PDE source base to Bndtools? This talk would give you an overview to proceed towards this.
We would like to further demonstrate in this talk how to set up a Bndtools workspace from an existing PDE workspace, convert all current projects to Bnd projects and embrace the OSGi-way of developing bundles.
Since QIVICON containing more than 350 projects utilised this solution to move to a higher modularity maturity level, this talk would, therefore, outline the pros, cons and the learnings using Bndtools in such a big OSGi project for embedded development.
OSGi CDI Integration Specification - Ray Augé (Liferay)mfrancis

How OSGi drives cross-sector energy management - Jörn Tümmler (SMA Solar Tech...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Jörn Tümmler (SMA Solar Technology)
Abstract: SMA is a leading global specialist in photovoltaic system technology with more than 3,000 SMA employees in 20 countries.
In 2015 SMA decided to develop the ennexOS platform - a cross-sector platform for holistic, intelligent energy management. An important part of this platform is the data-manager - an IoT gateway that acquires information from various energy generators, storages and loads and performs commissioning and management tasks.
This new generation of data-managers demanded for new approaches in software-architecture to:
run on a broad range of hardware platforms, and
be extendible e.g. to support different protocols for easy integration, and
to enable a broad range of applications in the energy-management field that may be customized by apps installed during runtime
After an exhaustive investigation on existing solutions, OSGi was chosen as the key technology for this new generation of devices - a quite challenging decision, because at this point there was only limited experience in Java and OSGi development in the company.
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.
The talk will demonstrate what we have reached until now and we will tell you if OSGi has kept it's promise ...
Improved developer productivity thanks to Maven and OSGi - Lukasz Dywicki (Co...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Lukasz Dywicki (Code-House)
Abstract: During this short presentation I will revisit existing mechanisms and approach towards OSGi and JEE development. I will show how many manual steps can be avoided and how to maintain project in effective manner. I will try to find a balance between execution environment requirements and programmer happines at same time.
I believe that OSGi and Eclipse ecosystem experience troubles gaining people from outside for few reasons. Beside overall impression of OSGi complexity there is equally old and invalid complain about quaility of developer tooling. Since invention of BND development experience can be really pleasant and independent of text editor/IDE preferences. Sadly lots of people still rely on former experiences spreading black/bad PR. I would like to clarify their point.
After this presentation attendees will learn:
How to use Maven to build OSGi projects (without Tycho).
How to automate manual tasks.
How to build custom software distributions with Maven artifacts and run it with Apache Karaf.
That OSGi development doesn't differ much from regular day-to-day usage of application servers or microservice runtimes.
This talk is intended for people who know basics of OSGi as it will show few basic technics towards better developer productivity.
It Was Twenty Years Ago Today - Building an OSGi based Smart Home System - Ch...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Christer Larsson (Makewave)
Abstract: 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.
Popular patterns revisited on OSGi - Christian Schneider (Adobe)mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Christian Schneider (Adobe)
Abstract: 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.
The patterns are shown with some examples using declarative services(DS). So some basic OSGi and DS knowledge is of advantage but not required.
For OSGi beginners the well established OSGi patterns will help getting started the right way. Experienced OSGi developers will find some new patterns to think about. Cloud or enterprise developers will get a new approach to some patterns they are used to which hopefully inspires them to take another look at the current state of OSGi.
Integrating SLF4J and the new OSGi LogService 1.4 - BJ Hargrave (IBM)mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by BJ Hargrave (IBM)
Abstract: 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.
OSG(a)i: because AI needs a runtime - Tim Verbelen (imec)mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Tim Verbelen (imec)
Abstract: 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. You can then use your favorite OSGi specs such as DS and PushStreams to integrate these into your application.
Flying to Jupiter with OSGi - Tony Walsh (ESA) & Hristo Indzhov (Telespazio V...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Tony Walsh (ESA) & Hristo Indzhov (Telespazio Vega)
Abstract: The European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) is the main operations center 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. The current generation of monitoring and control systems are becoming obsolete and a European wide initiative called the European Ground Systems Common Core (EGS-CC) (http://www.egscc.esa.int) has been started to develop the next generation.
This talk will explain why OSGi was chosen and how it is used in the development of next generation of monitoring and control software. It will describe how OSGi provides the necessary framework that enables the software to be extended for the different space systems it is expected to support. The overall software architecture will be discussed, some of the challenges faced and the benefits gained by using OSGi. The first target mission for the system is JUICE (http://sci.esa.int/juice) which will explore the moons of Jupiter and which is scheduled for launch in 2022.
MicroProfile, OSGi was meant for this - Ray Auge (Liferay)mfrancis

This talk will demonstrate building your own MicroProfile using OSGi and the OSGi enRoute packaging model.
Prototyping IoT systems with a hybrid OSGi & Node-RED platform - Bruce Jackso...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Bruce Jackson (Myriad)
Abstract: Node-RED is often used as a protyping tool for IoT systems. However, there are also a large number of OSGi components that have already been built to interface to devices, sensors and systems. In this talk I will show how two completely different runtime environments (OSGi and Node-RED) can be combined into a single platform for prototyping (and more) combining the strengths of both languages and systems.
Being able to quickly and simply prototype IoT application is extremely useful, and to this end many people have adopted Node-Red, a Node.js based runtime with extensive support for plugins to interface to various IoT hardware and protocols. However, this requires these services/protocols to be developed in Javascript, and there is already a significant body of code developed in Java/OSGi that it would be desirable to re-use.
The talk will explain how it is possible to:
Create and manage a Node-Red runtime from within an OSGi bundle
Share OSGi components and object into the Node-Red runtime
Interact and build Node-Red flows that exchange data and call methods between Node.js and OSGi
This is obviously useful for the original purpose: prototyping IoT systems, but also demonstrates some interesting techniques for bridging between different languages and runtimes.
How to connect your OSGi application - Dirk Fauth (Bosch)mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Dirk Fauth (Bosch)
Abstract: 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. We will show the general usage of these specifications and explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
