DWS17 - Fibre to 5G seminar - Roland MONTAGNE - IDATE Digiworld

Fibre to the home networks are growing but at uneven paces across Europe, with some countries like Spain, Finland, and Portugal seeing strong subscriber growth. Fibre networks are also starting to emerge in parts of Africa, with commercial networks launched in around 17 countries. As 5G mobile networks are developed, fibre networks will be crucial for backhaul and delivering high speeds, with some telecom leaders like Verizon already positioning fibre as integral to 5G. However, using fixed wireless or satellite could also serve some areas, and 5G fixed wireless may compete with fibre to the home in delivering broadband. Open access and public funding may help leverage private investment to expand fibre networks.

OSGi and Java 9+ - BJ Hargrave (IBM)

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.

Remote Management and Monitoring of Distributed OSGi Applications - Tim Verbe...

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 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.

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)

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...

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 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.

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)

This document discusses how various software design patterns can be applied within the OSGi runtime environment. It describes patterns like Observer/Listener, OSGi Whiteboard, Dependency Injection, Circuit Breaker, and Domain-Driven Design and how they differ or are adapted when used with OSGi. For example, the OSGi Whiteboard pattern allows services and listeners to be loosely coupled without direct dependencies, and OSGi's declarative services specification provides a way to perform dependency injection and manage component lifecycles. The document argues that applying patterns like having microservices per bounded context can help match the original ideas of microservices while minimizing remote communication when using OSGi.

Integrating SLF4J and the new OSGi LogService 1.4 - BJ Hargrave (IBM)

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)

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...

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)

OSGi Community Event 2018 Presentation by Ray Augé (Liferay) Abstract: The craze is fully on. The past couple of years have seem micro services grow from next _flava_ to fully consuming of the software industry. The Eclipse micorprofile.io project is tackling the issue putting common usage patterns together over a foundation of CDI. What better assembly driver is there than OSGi to put it all together. 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...

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.
