Cook Up a Runtime with The New OSGi Resolver - Neil Bartlettmfrancis
OSGi DevCon 2013
OSGi applications are assembled from loosely coupled bundles communicating via services. While this model provides huge flexibility and the ability to reuse components, it creates a challenge for the assembler of the application since it is unclear which bundles are needed, which are optional and which are unnecessary.
For example some dependencies are implicit, such as the provider of a service or an extender. We do not want to prematurely lock down these dependencies at build time, but at deployment time a specific provider must be found otherwise the application will fail to behave as expected. Furthermore when third-party libraries are used they often contain static dependencies on additional libraries, which in turn contain additional dependencies, and so on. Much time is wasted in finding a set of bundles that will actually resolve and run in the OSGi environment, and once such a set is found, developers tend to fear making changes to it.
The generic requirements and capabilities model introduced in OSGi Release 4.3, along with the standard Repository and Resolver specifications introduced in OSGi Release 5, provide answers for both of these problems. Using capabilities, we can describe dependencies in an abstract way without prematurely binding to specific providers. Using the resolver, we can narrow our focus to the very small set of bundles that describe our application at the top level, and allow all other dependencies to be computed and managed for us.
This talk begins with a brief technical overview of the new 4.3 and 5.0 specifications and how they can be used to assemble applications with ease. We then demonstrate both development tooling and a runtime platform that can be used to put these ideas into practice.

Advanced Data Widgets and Server IntegrationSencha
Ext GWT provides a rich set of data components including lists, trees, and grids. Rather than just covering the client-side implementation, this session will demonstrate how to manage your data and data updates from the server. In addition, you will advanced techniques to customize the display of your data.
Transmogrifier is a tool that gives you the ability to create a configurable pipeline to import and export from various systems. Each section of the pipe can be turned into a re-usable blueprint that can be given back to the community. This gives us the ability to quickly create migration paths for existing systems and maintain them as Python packages.
My (quite boring) slides on what we needed to do in Janus to support multiple streams of the same type (e.g., 3 video streams) on the same PeerConnection.
Ext GWT provides a solid foundation to build rich internet applications. In this session, you will learn the best practices used to build these applications. Topics include how to use HTML templates and HtmlLayout, MVC / MVP, RPC, and managing data.

Scaling applications with RabbitMQ at SunshinePHPAlvaro Videla
Do you need to process thousands of images in the background for your web app?
Do you need to share data across multiple applications, probably written in different languages and sitting at different servers?
Your real time data feed is becoming slow because you are polling the database constantly for new data updates?
Do you need to scale information processing during peek times?
What about deploying new features with zero downtime? If any of these problems sound familiar then you probably need to use messaging in your application.
In this talk I will introduce RabbitMQ, a messaging and queue server that can help us tackle those problems. We will learn the benefits of a Queue Server and see how to integrate messaging into our applications. With this talk we hope that the term 'decoupling' gets a new, broader, meaning.
We've been told many times that we should write unit tests for our code. We have read the theory and we have applied automatic testing to our projects, sometimes successfully but often times not so.
Why it seems to be so hard to test our code? However we look at it, automatic testing doesn't work like a "plug & play" peripheral. It just doesn't seem to fit with our project. A dependency is missing here; we have a hard to mock object there; and so on.
What is _that_ thing we might be doing wrong but we fail to notice?
In this talk we will argue that the problem lays in our code, in its structure, in the way we pass data around and even how we write for loops!
This won't be your everyday "code quality" tech talk, since we are going to attack the problem of code quality from different points of view and paradigms like Functional Programming and the Unix philosophy of simplicity and reuse.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.
