SpagoBI joined the FIWARE project in 2014 as Data Visualization component.
The FIWARE mission is “to build an open sustainable ecosystem around public, royalty-free and implementation-driven software platform standards that will ease the development of new Smart Applications in multiple sectors”.
Following this mission and thanks to this collaboration, SpagoBI was enriched with new capabilities that can be exploited in Smart Cities and IoT scenarios, in particular:
1. capability to explore and analyze data coming form CKAN (the well known Open Data portal)
2. NGSI standard adoption (both as producer and consumer of context data)
The presentation provides a short introduction to the FIWARE ecosystem, then it will go into more details on complex scenarios where the data visualization (SpagoBI and Knowage) is involved.

The European research project Prosperity4all focuses on developing the infrastructure to allow a new ecosystem to grow; one that is based on self-rewarding collaboration, that can reduce redundant development, set lower costs, increase market reach and penetration internationally, and create the robust cross-platform spectrum of mainstream and assistive technology-based solutions.
P4All is part of a wider initiative for the creation of a Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure (GPII), a paradigm shift in eInclusion through one-size-fits-one digitally inclusive solutions.
SpagoBI version 6 rebranded as Knowage offers unpaired analytical experience,...OW2
On May 3rd 2017, Engineering released the new version of SpagoBI, the OW2 flagship project on Business Intelligence. Starting from this version, the project is now branded as Knowage, and is available in two editions:
- the Community Edition, entirely open source, released and down-loadable from the OW2 forge, supported by the open source community
- the Entreprise Edition, fully supported by Engineering under a subscription model
Knowage suite is composed of several modules, each one conceived for a specific analytical domain. They can be used individually as a complete solution for a certain task, or combined with one another to ensure full coverage of users’ requirements, allowing to build a tailored product.
The presentation focus on the Community Edition and provides examples, demos and use cases on the most important functional evolutions of the product:
- the brand new and responsive user interface based on Angular.js
- the extended set of graphical widgets to perform advanced data visualization
- the self-service capabilities to perform data discovery
- the new web-based user interface to define the metadata layer by exploiting the data federation principle
- the possibility to define and import advanced analytic algorithms, written in R or Python, into a shared function catalog

OSGi for European and Japanese smart cities - experiences and lessons learnt ...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2016 Presentation by Levent Gurgen (CEA)
Internet of Things (IoT) is the digital skin of the physical world. It has specific requirements such as dynamicity to self-adapt to the continuously changing physical context. The world is heterogeneous and the objects should interoperate to collaborate, thus interoperability is essential. Openness and short learning curve are other requirements so that innovators (e.g. startups) can rapidly build applications with reduced time-to-market and avoid vendor lock-in. Reuse of software and hardware is also particularly important since billion of devices are expected to be deployed in the coming decades and those devices should be multi-purpose and reusable by applications from different domains and not be specific to a given domain.
OSGi has – since 15 years ago – the answers to those requirements of today’s IoT. Its powerful run-time environment for the dynamicity, its service-oriented approach hiding heterogeneity, its modularity making the reuse extremely simple, and last but not least, its open approach giving the potential to democratize the IoT.
The talk will illustrate the benefits of OSGi for IoT with concrete deployed examples, in particular in smart city domain in Europe and Japan via the collaborative projects such as ClouT and FESTIVAL.

FIWARE - Driving the standards and helping cities to become enablers of the D...Juanjo Hierro
Materialising the Economy of Data requires providing a standard digital service infrastructure enabling different kind of organisations to publish, search and query for data in right time (contextual data). FIWARE brings a number of enablers for this purpose which cities around the world are increasingly adopting and are also being considered for building a first open source implementation of the Industrial Data Space architecture. By adopting FIWARE as de-facto standard and federating FIWARE Context Broker endpoints through which context information is published and consumed, Cities and Businesses, will be able to collaborate to create an open, distributed and neutral infrastructure enabling the Data Economy.
The Open and Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative: from vision to executionJuanjo Hierro
One city is not a market. The vision of the Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative is to create an open smart city market based on the needs of cities and communities. Cities need interoperability and standards to boost competitiveness by avoiding vendor lock-in, comparability to benchmark performance, and easy sharing of best practices. They also need solutions that can be implemented with respect for local practices and job creation.
The OASC initiative achieve this vision by advocating cities to adopt four simple mechanisms as de facto standards. The first mechanism is a driven-by-implementation attitude. The other three mechanisms are technical (an API, a set of data models, and an open data platform, described in the Background Document).
Since it was launched in March 2015, more and more cities have joined the initiative.

OW2 Association Européenne aux racines grenobloises, transformer l'industrie ...OW2
Connaissez-vous OW2 ? Aventure commencée en 1999 à Grenoble sur la base d'un consortium industriel dédié au middleware open source, devenu association sans but lucratif d'échelle européenne en 2006 sous le nom d'OW2, nous agissons pour la diffusion du libre dans le monde professionnel depuis plus de 20 ans.
OW2 compte des adhérents de toute taille : 2.600 individuels en adhésion gratuite, et 30 institutionnels, de la TPE unipersonnelle à Orange, Microsoft ou Huawei, de l'Inria ou le Fraunhofer Fokus à la Gendarmerie Nationale ou la ville de Paris.
Nos projets sont plus célèbres que nous : ASM, Centreon, Lutece, PrestaShop, Sympa ou Rocket.Chat vous diront peut-être quelque chose ?
Philosophiquement, OW2 se trouve quelque part entre Eclipse et Apache : culture technique, infrastructure d'hébergement et d'assistance pour les projets, sur la ligne de crête entre l'esprit du libre et les contraintes du business, nous sommes un acteur de l'économie sociale, persuadé que l'open source est central dans une transformation sociétale nécessaire qui ne pourra se faire sans l'adhésion du monde industriel et académique.
A un tournant de notre histoire, nous investissons le créneau de la qualité industrielle des projets avec notre méthodologie "Market readiness Levels", et la gouvernance de l'open-source comme membre fondateur de l'OSPO Alliance (ospo.zone) et éditeur du guide méthodologique "OSS Good Governance handbook".
Ne nous y trompons pas : OW2 est un acteur éminemment politique, porteur d'une vision fondée sur la transformation du monde professionnel et de ses valeurs par le code et la coopération. Et cette présentation, avec un survol de notre histoire, adhérents, initiatives et projets, est également l'occasion d'en débattre.
This presentation by Cedric Thomas (OW2 CEO) details three OW2 initiatives to engage with mainstream open source software users, including the H2020 ReachOut project, Market Readiness and Good Governance.
Towards a sustainable solution to open source sustainability, OW2online20, Ju...OW2
A few years ago, Heartbleed epitomized a massive open source sustainability problem for critical parts of the internet infrastructure. The bug, which affected the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library, notably compromised the confidentiality of 4.5 million US patient records and cost the industry an estimated $500M. It was soon revealed that the root cause of the issue was that OpenSSL was precariously understaffed. Open source sustainability became a major theme overnight. Stories of maintainer burn-out made the headlines. And tentative solutions started to emerge, most of them donation-based. In this talk we’ll explore a number of existing strategies to fund open source and make it more sustainable, from patronage to dedicated ad networks. And we’ll defend the idea that the best path to open source sustainability is to help companies understand the tangible business value they can get from contributing to open source.

Open Source governance and the Eclipse Foundation, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Gael Blondelle, Managing Director at Eclipse Foundation.
Abstract:
In this talk, we will cover two complementary topics: The different Eclipse projects related to Open Source governance, like Eclipse SW360, SW360 Antenna, and Eclipse Steady, as well as the opportunity to leverage SW360 as the core of a larger Open Source governance initiative.
The Eclipse IP Process that has been applied to hundreds of Eclipse projects for more than 15 years and is going through a modernization process that involves both simplification from the developer point of view, and openness to new source of trusted data like Clearly Defined.
Open source contribution policies, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Open source contribution policies are long, boring, overlooked documents, that generally suck. They're designed to protect the company at all costs. But in the process, end up hurting engineering productivity, and morale. Sometimes they even unknowingly put corporate IP at risk.
But that's not inevitable.
It's possible to write open source contribution policies that make engineers lives easier, boost morale and productivity, reduce attrition, and attract new talent. And it's possible to do so while reducing the company's IP risk, not increasing it.
In this talk, we'll look at the general structure of contribution policies, examples in the wild, and tactics to make them suck less.
We'll also look at how to turn these policies into self-service software, preventing the tedious email back and forth between engineering and legal in most cases and making open source contribution a breeze. Presentation by Tobbie Langel, UnLockOpen.
Software development at scale, pandemic lockdown and oss ecosystems, OW2onlin...OW2
Presentation by Jose Manrique, CEO at Bitergia.
Abstract: 2020 has started intense for many countries. It's been just a few months, but the things we have lived make us feel like it's been years. Covid-19 pandemic has hit everywhere and forced many people to work from home. If you were lucky enough to be in one of these modern companies that have adopted digital transformation years ago, would that be a problem? Many people have thought it wasn't, but it has really been. And what about the rest of the software developers involved in companies not ready for remote work at all?
It's been said that nothing has boosted more companies' digital transformation than covid-19. But, are their managers ready for such change? Managing software development at scale is not an easy task, and this pandemic has disrupted the way projects are being developed in many companies.
During this talk, I would like to share lessons learned from open source development at scale that might help companies to adapt to these changes. But more specifically, lessons about how software development analytics help managers to understand collaborative remote work.
Overview of the OpenChain Reference Tooling Work Group, OW2online20, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Olivier Fendt, Senior Manager Open Source Software at Siemens.
Abstract: The well-known OpenChain project launched in Sept 2019 a Tooling Group. The objective of this group is to realize a turn-key Open Source toolchain for Open Source Compliance, which is / can be easily integrated in the software development CI/CD pipelines. The Tooling Group uses open source principles to accomplish this, creating a meritocracy producing real world solutions for real world challenges, and sharing these results with all interested parties. The presentation gives an overview of the Tooling group its objectives, the areas of focus, the current state and future plans.
Open Source Compliance at Orange, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Nicolas Toussaint, Software Architect, Orange.
Abstract: Orange and Orange Business Services have turned to full open source solutions to tackle the complex problem of respecting the open source legal compliance constraints.
This talk presents the journey undertaken the past few years to build and improve the existing tooling and processes to make compliance validation possible, as well as allow overseeing progresses.
Ideas, methods and tools for OSS Compliance assessment, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Boris Baldassari, Consultant, Castalia Solutions.
Abstract: While Open Source Software has become mainstream, the understanding of its key principles, from ethics and collaboration to governance and community management, is gaining more interest and attention. There is a comprehensive volume of studies and reports backing up our individual and collective experience, yet we still cannot reliably measure these characteristics, and even less clearly define or assess them.
In an attempt to build up confidence and foster maturity in this area, this talk will look at the various existing models and metrics related to OSS compliance and governance, and build upon them to propose methods and tools for their evaluation and analysis. We will discuss the requirements and essential questions to ask, offer guidelines for implementation and suggest efficient ways to present results.
Intelligent package management with FASTEN, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Amir Mir, TUDelft.
As recent events, such as the leftpad incident and the Equifax data breach, have demonstrated, dependencies on networks of external libraries can introduce projects to significant operational and compliance risks as well as difficult to assess security implications. FASTEN introduces fine-grained, method-level, tracking of dependencies on top of existing dependency management networks. In our talk, we will present how FASTEN works on top of the Rust/Cargo and Java/Maven ecosystems.
DECODER, a Smarter Environment for DevOps Teams , OW2online, June 2020OW2
The DECODER project simplifies software library and component reuse, while ensuring that they will behave as expected by the developer. The DECODER central database (PKM) stores code-related artifacts and establish bindings between them, notably by generating formal specification from informal requirements or semi-formal models from source code. Presentation by Virgile Prevosto, CEA List.
Enabling DevOps for IoT software development, powered by Open Source, OW2onli...OW2
Presentation by Hui Song, Senior Scientist, SINTEF. We would like to share our research journey towards enabling DevOps for IoT applications, and how Open Source makes the journey feasible and fun.
DevOps is widely adopted for developing cloud applications, which supports developers in continuously placing software changes directly to production. As companies are including IoT and Edge devices into their IT infrastructures, supporting DevOps for IoT is a must. However, IoT challenges some fundamental assumptions behind DevOps, such as the homogeneous infrastructure and centralized governance, and therefore, breaking-through research is needed. Funded by H2020, 30 people from 12 partners crossing academia and industry gathered to solve these fundamental challenges, which results in full-stack open source tools for automatic deployment, learning-based operation and security monitoring of IoT applications, and risk management of the development process. The tools are evaluated on industrial use cases in intelligent transportation, smart building, and eHealth.
The mass open source tools and communities around IoT development provides the sound foundation for this design research and the opportunities for the further exploitation of the results. In particular, we are proud of spinning off a start-up to commercialize the risk management services in the open source + SaaS model.
Upcoming Challenges in Artificial Intelligence Research and Development, OW2o...OW2
Artificial Intelligence is now smarter than ever, showing human-like abilities at complex tasks such as images classification or natural language processing.
But despite its recent advances, it's still not a silver bullet. This talk will present a few challenges in the research and development of artificial intelligence that slow down its progress and adoption. In particular, problems around fairness, the training of models and how to share them will be introduced as well as possible Free Software solutions. Presentation by Vincent Lequertier, PhD Student, Lyon UNiverversity.
Cacti and Big Data at Orange France, OW2online, June 2020OW2
We propose a walkthrough of current utilization of Open Source Software in capacity planning for the Orange network infrastructure.
The objective of our project is to have a platform that helps engineers to carefully plan the resources available to them as well as to correlate different incidents within remote parts of the infrastructure.
In order to achieve this we started using Cacti with the Spine collector which worked great, but Orange France is a very large company with many entities, each with its own governance, and so we began to see some limitations.
There was a need to centralize some information from different parts in Orange France as well as to integrate the equipment capacity and load values into BigData Orange.
In order to achieve this we developed the “Puits de donneés” platform completely based on Open Source Software.
The visualization and statistical analysis part is handled by Grafana while the ETL runs on Apache Software Foundation products like NiFi, Zookeeper and Ambari with a storage solution from MariaDB for which we did extensive performance tuning and customization due to the large amounts of data.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. The Internet of Things and Big Data on the cloud are major technology drivers of a
new era of Smart Solutions
3. But … what makes an application really be “smart”?
4.
5.
6. FIWARE: The Open Source platform of choice for building smart solutions
Smart Solutions gather data from many
different sources (including but not limited
to IoT) to build a “picture” of the real world
and then process and analyze that
information in order to implement the
desired intelligent behavior (which may
imply changing the real world)
Data =
Context Information
Capture
Actuate Process
7. Implementing Smart Solutions requires gathering and managing context information at large
scale
# Smart Industry
# Smart Agro
# Smart Cities
8. What if … there were
a standard API
for accessing
context information?
9. Users will enjoy portable solutions
Entrepreneurs will benefit the opportunities of a larger market

Reading the value provided by a sensor
should be as easy as reading an attribute of
an entity:
Actuation on a device should come as a side
effect derived from updating the attribute of an
entity:

Standard API
IoT would be an enabler, no barriers because of complexity
11. Shared context information would boost innovative services and the development of multi-
side markets
• Process run by systems in different domains could
interchange data based on a common Context
Information Management layer providing a standard API
and the support of shared Information Models
• Access Control Policies allow context information
owners to govern who can access what and when

14. Integration with sensor networks
• FIWARE NGSI is capable to deal with the wide variety of IoT protocols today
• Rather than trying to solve the battle of standards at IoT level, it brings a standard
where no standard exists today: context information management
