CHOReOS: Large Scale Choreographies for the Future Internet, from theory to practice - Pierre Chatel, Thales. Abstract : The CHOReOS ‘Large Scale Choreographies for the Future Internet’ European FP7 project that started 2 years ago, and is linked to OW2 Future Internet initiative, has now reached a certain level of maturity that is starting to gives concrete answers on how to move from choreography enactment theory, to its actual practice. More precisely, CHOReOS has defined several methods, toolkits and artifacts to enable this innovative distributed way of coordinating services, while at the same time dealing with some of the inherent difficulties to enacting choreographies in an [Ultra] Large Scale context. For instance, this covers being able to ‘execute’ choreography specifications over a network of discovered, dynamic, Business and Thing-based services. This presentation will cover the aforementioned topics and specific CHOReOS developments that were undertaken in its second year, while putting them in perspective of a simple practice-oriented and business-driven use-case in Air-Traffic Management.

An open source infrastructure supporting software quality assessment at Engineering Group - Daniele Gagliardi, Spago4Q - Engineering Group. Abstract : Engineering Group's Quality Assurance department has developed an infrastructure allowing to monitor the quality of the development processes of software projects and products, which was also needed to achieve the CMMi-DEV lev.3 certification compliance. The infrastructure allows the logical and technical integration of different tools supporting the development and management of software projects, in compliance with the corporate organizational rules, thus granting a high level of flexibility to users, who can choose between open source tools and, if requested, proprietary ones. The cornerstone of this process is Spago4Q, which provides the working groups with the necessary information to trace and develop end-users' requirements, to manage tests and project information, including risks, opportunities, metrics and documents. Moreover, it allows the Quality Assurance department to make its own audits on projects and related management processes. Spago4Q extracts the needed information from the different data sources, integrating them into a consistent meta-model. The speech describes the results obtained through the development of original solutions and the integration of both open source and proprietary products, such as TestLink, Jira, Liferay and Alfresco. The speech will include an overview on the possible improvements in terms of project quality and corporate processes.

ETICS: quality certification of open source cloud software - Gabriele Giammatteo, Engineering Group. Abstract : Cloud Computing is becoming the new paradigm for the Internet and Service provisioning. Open source solutions, especially those resulting from R/D projects, often are neglected due to the absence of track-records in use by real world applications. ETICS is a build, test and certification software developed since 2004 and up to now used at CERN, ENG and others to build and test various complex software systems, such us glite (http://glite.cern.ch) and gcube (http://www.gcube-system.org). ETICS will be used in the Ocean support action to certify the quality of RTD open source cloud software. Ocean aims at identifying and tracking open-source cloud development projects in an open online portal to promote cross-project collaboration. Ocean will also provide projects with an on-demand build and test service reducing their need for installing and operating tools, and a beta-tester service giving them back a comprehensive review and feedback. This presentation provides an overview of the ETICS approach and tool and the way it's planned to be adopted within the Ocean project.

Tracking code evolution for open source universe - Meng Li, Peking University. Abstract : The existing large amount of OSS artifacts has provided abundant materials for understanding how code is reused in open source universe, in particular, what code pieces are mostly reused, in what circumstances people reuse code, and so forth. Understanding this process could help with legacy software maintenance, as well as help to explore best practice of software development. Targeting the change history data of thousands of open source projects, we try to answer the following question: First, how is code reused by other projects? Second, how are code files organized in project and how does this organization structure change over time? To answer these questions, there are several technical difficulties we have to overcome. For example, because of the different kinds of VCSs, it is hard to figure out a uniform model which can represent the evolution progress of code files stored in them. Also, each VCS may have its own data format, so, extracting data from them is a big challenge. Furthermore, using current software algorithm and hardware platform to analyze the version iteration and reuse information of about a billion code files is another challenge.

OW2 Utilities, The Swiss Army Knife of OW2 Projects - Guillaume Sauthier, PeerGreen. Abstract : OW2 Utilities is a newly accepted project in the consortium. It aims to be the OW2 toolkit catalog for common pieces of code that everybody rewrite for each new project. This presentation will start with a description of the goals of that project, a little bit of history, then we will explain why it's important to maximize re-use within the consortium (reliability, ...). In a second part we will focus to the most useful and/or interesting modules provided by this project. This session will be developer-oriented, with code samples and effective use cases.

Development 2.0 @ OW2 - Clément Escoffier, Arrow-Group, Guillaume Sauthier, Peergreen and Christophe Hamerling, Linagora. Abstract : OW2 has traditionally provided an infrastructure based on Subversion and GForge. However, software development is evolving toward a more distributed, social, flexible, and lean process. This talk presents how OW2 is embracing this new trend and the new tools and possibilities offered for your OW2 project. From the source code repository (Svn, Git@OW2, GitHub…) and bug trackers, to continuous integration and documentation, OW2 lets you develop your project using your own process and tools. Thanks to the quality tools promoted by OW2, your project benefits from quality tracking and labeling. Be more reactive, improve your efficiency, and increase your quality with OW2.

What's new with Petals ESB? - Christophe Hamerling, Linagora. Abstract : If you have missed the activity around Petals ESB these last months, then this session is for you. As a reminder, Petals ESB is an Enterprise Service Bus created in 2005 and hosted by OW2. Thanks to a service approach and the SOA paradigm, Petals aims at reducing the coupling between applications. Beyond the usual integration use case, Petals can be seen as a backbone infrastructure in information systems. This allows applications to focus on their business and reduces the complexity of informations systems thanks to a better modularization. One of the most notable aspect of Petals ESB is that it is distributed (several physical servers make a single virtual one). This alternative approach to clusters gives a lot of flexibility and allows several architecture solutions (geographical distribution, high availability, load balancing...). This presentation discusses the changes brought by the last versions. A focus is given to the tools that come with the platform, and how they cover various users and project stages (design, development, administration, platform monitoring, business monitoring). The presentation also introduces the upcoming features in Petals ESB and the use cases they will cover.

Consistent service integration in your workflows with Scarbo 2.0 - Marc Dutoo and Yoann Rodiere, OpenWide. Abstract : Scarbo is an open, complete, SOA ready, SCA powered, OW2 and Eclipse-based BPM solution. The 2.0 release adds a major component to its SOA-BPM solution: a service registry and repository enforcing consistency across design time and runtime by acting as a pivotal reference. By integrating with the EasySOA registry (Scarbo opens up the door to BPM - SOA governance and documentation, benefits from service discovery to ease up service reuse, while making switching from test to production service endpoints a breeze. This talk will introduce the audience to its OW2-based architecture integrating components such as Bonita, FraSCAti and Nuxeo, and show how end users can benefit from Scarbo 2.0 with a demonstration.

Building an application on the SugarCRM platform - John Mertic, Sugar CRM. Abtract : Need to build an application to run part of your organization? One approach is that you could start writing something from scratch, perhaps leveraging an existing general purpose framework to help get you going. However, even if you use a framework, there's still the need to build all those standard components such as user interface, workflow, and ACL security, which can take quite some time to design and code. There's no need to start from scratch. SugarCRM is designed as a Rapid Application Development platform. In this session you'll learn the basics on how to build a business application on the Open Source SugarCRM platform.

"The Big Challenge of Big Data and Hadoop Integration - Cédric Carbone, Talend". Abstract : Enterprises can't close their doors just because integration tools won't cope with the volume of information that their systems produce. As each day goes by, their information will become larger and more complicated, and enterprises must constantly struggle to manage the integration of dozens (or hundreds) of systems. Apache Hadoop has quickly become the technology of choice for enterprises that need to perform complex analysis of petabytes of data, but few are aware of its potential to handle large-scale integration work. By using effective tools, integrators can process the complex transformation, synchronization, and orchestration tasks required in a high-performance, low cost, infinitely scalable way. In this talk, Cédric Carbone will discuss how Hadoop can be used to integrate disparate systems and services, and provide a demonstration of the process for designing and deploying common integration tasks.
