OW2con'16

WebLab is a smart data analytics software platform that allows the processing of multimedia documents to quickly extract valuable information.  WebLab processes text, audio, image and video contents. It can analyse internal reports, websites, social networks but also classified information, TV or radios, etc. It uses technologies such as social media analysis, speech-to-text, translation, semantic analysis, image analysis, geo-reference extractions, data visualization, knowledge management, and so on.

The presentation will focus on the recent developments made around the WebLab platform and its use in the context of Airbus Defence and Space. In particular, we will illustrate how WebLab can process information coming from social networks and combine this with other information such as satellite images to provide valuable inputs to analysts in charge of following migrants coming from Syria to Europe.

Installing and deploying an application can be messy and may result in time lost, unexpected results and, finally, discarding the application itself. A valid solution for this could be providing different automitizing techniques, and publish the application on the most popular marketplaces of cloud services providers at the same time. In this spech I will present the experience we gained and the route for future enhancements for the SpagoBI suite in order to make its adoption easier and increase its visibility, exploting well known automation tools (Docker, Chef, Juju) and cloud facilities.

From Code to Product, the CHOReVOLUTION Studio is addressing scalable IoT/IoS applications based on choreography modelling, synthesis, adaptation, service bus, security, and cloud. It aims at integrating as much as possible existing web services to create new innovative solutions. The first applications being developed are in the Intelligent Transportation Systems and Smart Tourism domains, with benefits in terms of time-to-market, agility, dynamism and cross-organization coordination. The CHOReVOLUTION software are published under an open source licence and made publicly available through the OW2 community.

SeedStack is an enterprise application development environment designed for Open Source and using worldwide standards.
SeedStack is a high productivity end-to-end tool that encompasses all the application layers: business, persistence, security, Application Program Interface connection, web-friendly interfaces with ready to use open source standard components.

SeedStack boosts development efficiency and removes trouble and complexity of installation, by providing a ready-to-use modular environment of well-chosen components, Convention-over-Configuration, sensible defaults and opinionated APIs. Developers can then focus on their core activity: business code. Open-source software and agile development approach transform application development experience to deliver innovative business products.

SeedStack integrates standard components and provides its own high-value technologies. The result is a full-stack open environment suitable for rapid application development. While the highly modular Java framework may be compared to Spring, the choice of the technologies is more opinionated and less coupled; the web framework combines two User Interface mainstream technologies, Google AngularJs and Twitter Bootstrap. The main piece of the stack is the Business Framework which focuses on the importance of the investment and reusability of the business domain. SeedStack can be used in a large spectrum of platforms, from Cloud to command-line or common enterprise application servers.

SeedStack is used in numerous production environments in domains as manufacturing, retail, enterprise administration, human resources, trade, connected vehicle, research and development. It is reliable and highly scalable.

The most successful companies are those that can get value and knowledge out of information. We immediately think of Google, Amazon or Microsoft but even a small company has its own data and can access a variety of external information. In this speech we’ll create a use case around a family company that aims at becoming 3.0. So we’ll see how to enhance the corporate data using business intelligence techniques, but also how to use big data technologies to enrich the knowledge, getting data from open data sources, comparing company business with market researches and matching it with socials.

Lutece became an OW2 project two years ago. It recently became a mature project. This java framework is used to build applications totaling more than 2 million lines of code. It features a powerful and expressive plugin system. More than 400 plugins have been developed. This presentation will explain how we manage all these components.
