Keynote: A Q&A Discussion with Best-Selling Author Hugh Howey, moderated by Rich Bowen, ASF Executive Vice President.

Watching the self-publishing industry for the last decade or so, you can't help but notice that it has had a number of profound impacts on the "real" publishing industry, and on writing in general. The democratization of publishing leads to surprising new developments, and opens the way for new authors who wouldn't have had a place in the traditional publishing model.

When Hugh Howey self-published 'Wool', in 2011, through Amazon's Kindle Direct program, he was taken somewhat by surprise by its success. Since then, he's written a number of other books, which have spent some time at the #1 bestseller spot in Science Fiction on Amazon.

Conference chair Rich Bowen and Hugh will have an informal chat about self-publishing, the democratization of the publishing industry, and whatever the audience cares to ask, in this keynote.

Apache Tez is a modern data processing engine designed for YARN on Apache Hadoop 2. Tez aims to provide high performance and efficiency out of the box, across the spectrum of low latency queries and heavy-weight batch processing. It provides a sophisticated topology API, advanced scheduling and concurrency control & fault tolerance. With a clear separation between the logical app layer and the physical data movement layer, Tez is designed from the ground up to be a platform on top of which a variety of domain specific applications can be built. Tez has pluggable control and data planes that allow users to plug in custom data transfer technologies, concurrency-control and scheduling policies to meet their exact requirements.

The Apache Way - Nick Burch, Quanticate

The ""Apache Way"" is the process by which Apache Software Foundation projects are managed. It has evolved over many years and has produced over 100 highly successful open source projects. But what is it and how does it work?

In this session we'll discover at how an Apache project is (and isn't!) managed. We will see how the foundation provides an technical and legal infrastructure for each project, and how the Apache Way provides the governance scaffolding for individual projects. This provides the framework for Apache projects which are then free to apply the Apache Way to ensure their project succeeds.

Having attended this session you will have a better understanding of the inner workings of both the foundation and its projects. With this understanding you will be better equipped to engage with and benefit from Apache projects.

Mobile Productivity - Louis Suárez-Potts, Age of Peers, Inc. & Peter Kelly, UX Productivity

Despite the success of Android and the rise of Tizen and Firefox OS, there seems to be no good open productivity tool on mobiles, inexplicable, given the interest and given the enormous population about to start using mobiles daily, as their default computing device.

But first: Mobiles are not desktops. To exploit the plusses offered we must abandon legacies, such as huge library dependencies, GUI toolkits designed in the 90s, and application architectures whose main effect now is to slow things down and make the mobile user think she is using a bad laptop, at best.

Mobile’s strengths start with the obvious: its mobile. But it also offers a simpler, more direct experience. For the developer at Apache, a mobile productivity tool, such as we have designed with UX Write, can leverage the code and open standards that annul vendor lock-in and obsolescence, while still providing acce

OFBiz: What Do Business Users See and Want? - Sharan Foga, OFBiz Project

Every year companies spend large amounts of money looking for and evaluating an ERP to install for their business.

The Apache Open For Business (OFBiz) codebase may be robust and the data model impeccable but it is the Business End Users and not necessarily the Technical teams that choose what will be implemented.

OFBiz is a free open source ERP which is good value budget-wise – so when the end users come looking – what do they see? Is it what they want or expect?

In this presentation Sharan Foga will take a look at OFBiz through the eyes of the business end users and discuss the key things they see as most important when evaluating an ERP.

Bending The Rules: Community Over Code Over Policy - Andrea Pescetti, Apache OpenOffice PMC

A popular misconception in some circles is that Apache values policy so much that it effectively damages a project's opportunity to grow. Reality is, whenever the Apache policy gets in the way of a project something is wrong. But the current policy and practices were conceived as tools to help projects rather than damaging them. The incubation (and, later, the presence) of OpenOffice at Apache brought the need to rethink several policy issues and set precedents for new ones. In most cases, we found the solution by going back to the rationale for a policy and implementing it in the right way for our case. We'll see several examples of cases where policy was reinterpreted in order to help the project and not to obstacle it.

Using Websocket With CXF And Camel - Akitoshi Yoshida, SAP

WebSocket is a full-duplex transport protocol developed as part of HTML5 and has caught attention not only for Browser applications but also also for application integration. This simple HTTP based protocol can operate over a single socket and does not suffer from network restriction such as proxies and firewalls when establishing a duplex channel.

New WebSocket support in Apache CXF can be used to invoke an asynchronous JAX-WS service over a single WebSocket connection instead of using two separate HTTP connections, to establish a direct node connection in a cluster environment, and to asynchronously push data from a JAX-RS service to its client. And Apache Camel now supporting both the client and server side WebSockets can be used to integrate and compose various WebSocket applications with other applications.

External Identity And Authentication Providers For Apache Httpd - Jan Pazdziora, Red Hat

When HTTP 1.0 came out, it supported Basic Authentication. Since then, the majority of authentication operations moved to applications and frameworks, using internal datastores. As they were getting more popular, external authentication services like LDAP needed to be added to the application code or to framework's set of methods.
Introducing three Apache httpd modules that hope to simplify the application logic by moving the authentication, access control, and identity operations back to the Apache httpd, with application consuming the result of these operations: mod_authnz_pam for access control, mod_intercept_form_submit for PAM operations using application's native logon form submission, and mod_lookup_identity that can deliver user attributes and group membership from servers like FreeIPA via sssd and dbus.

Cascading is a Java-based application development framework for building Big Data applications on Apache Hadoop. This open source framework allows developers to leverage their existing skillsets such as Java, SQL, etc. to create enterprise=grade applications without having to think in MapReduce. This comprehensive framework separates business logic from integration logic so that developers can quickly build and test data applications locally on their laptop and then deploy them on Hadoop. While typical enterprise data applications must cross through multiple departments and frameworks, Cascading allows multiple departments to seamlessly integrate their application components into one single data processing application. In this presentation, developers will get an introduction to Cascading, how it works, and then dive into how one can build applications with Cascading

Sharing Apache's Goodness: How We Should Be Telling Apache's Story - Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier, Red Hat

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) excels at many things - fostering strong open source communities, creating excellent software, providing infrastructure to do the work, and providing a framework to verify the software before it's released.

But many projects want more from a foundation. In particular, they want to ensure that the world knows about the good work that they're doing, and the contributors want a foundation to provide resources to help take on tasks that developers typically do not enjoy or do well.

In this talk, Brockmeier will make the case for marketing FOSS projects in general, and specifically why Apache needs to evolve to help not only create software for the public good, but promote its projects as well.

Introduction To A Groovy Based DSL For Apache OFBiz - Jacopo Cappellato, HotWax Media

Apache OFBiz is a framework and a suite of applications for the automation of enterprise tasks (e.g. ERP, CRM, MRP, E-Commerce). Although usable out of the box, OFBiz often requires the customization of some of its components for managing specific business processes. In order to rapidly and effectively integrate new functionalities, developers need a programming environment that allows to focus on the business logic without being distracted by low level coding details. Up to now, the best practice has been to use Minilang, an xml based Domain Specific Language (DSL) developed by the OFBiz community, together with plain Java and Groovy, when more flexibility is needed. In this presentation, Jacopo Cappellato will outline the limitations of the current approach and will propose a new Groovy based DSL that could become the only language you'll need to know for the customization of OFBiz.

Long-Lived Yarn Services: The Future Of Yarn Applications. - Steve Loughran, Hortonworks

Apache Hadoop clusters are generally viewed as data analysis systems, running short-to medium life analysis applications —or installations of a single large application such as Apache HBase & Apache Accumulo.

There's no reason for this to be the case: you can deploy long lived services into a Hadoop cluster, gaining access to the HDFS filesystem, availability from a fault-resilient infrastructure, shared use driven by scheduling -and the ability to integrate with other services running in the YARN cluster.

In this talk I will look at the needs of long-lived services, where YARN is today with supporting them -and where we are going next. In particular, I will explore the JIRA issue YARN-896 is the focal point for evolving YARN's support of long-lived services, addressing needs such as security, logging and service discovery -demonstrating some of this in action.

Patches Welcome - Contributing To Apache Projects In A Nutshell - Isabel Drost-Fromm, Elasticsearch

For an outsider the way open source projects in general and Apache projects in particular work seems complex and hard to understand. Cultural differences not only between corporate work and open source collaboration but also across projects make things even harder.

This talk tries to outline some of the basics of what makes a successful committer at Apache: Why should you understand the culture and get involved if you are using one of the Apache projects? What are valuable contributions? How do you stay committed without over committing yourself in case someone invites you to become official committer?

From OAuth1 To OAuth2 With Apache CXF And Hawk - Sergey Beryozkin, Talend

OAuth2 is a set of specifications describing the way resource owners can allow third party applications access some of their resources. OAuth2 owes a lot to the popularity of older OAuth1, the fact which led to the OAuth2 process being initiated. However the concern about OAuth2 being as capable and secure as OAuth1 is still shared by some developers. In this presentation we will briefly introduce Apache CXF OAuth2 implementation and show how OAuth2 and Hawk (Mac) token can be used to create simpler and no less secure classical OAuth applications.

Apache DeviceMap - Werner Keil, Creative Arts & Technologies

We experience a growing number of mobile phones, tablets, phablets, smart TV and similar devices flooding the market almost every day.
Capturing the specification of each device is a tough job. If you want to create a comfortable user experience you need dynamic content according to hardware and browser specifications of your device. That’s the reason why Device Description Repositories (DDR) exist.

Apache DeviceMap is a collaborative effort to create a comprehensive open-source and open-data repository of device information, images and other relevant information for all types of mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, smart TV, etc.. Much of the code was donated from the OpenDDR project, and participants come from many different companies.

The project began in January 2012, later that year OpenDDR contributed DDR APis for Java and. NET. Ongoing steps are a common device repository, a storage structure and maintenance of device data by the Apache community.

Building A Better Test Platform: A Case Study Of Improving Apache Hbase Testing With Docker - Aleks Shulman & Dima Spivak, Cloudera

Cloudera Engineering has heavily incorporated Docker, an extension of Linux Containers, into our integration testing framework for Apache HBase, a distributed "NoSQL" datastore. Through the use of Docker images, we have succeeded in parameterizing the Apache Hadoop environment on which our tests are deployed. This allows us to test functionality and compatibility across a wider range of platforms in a much shorter amount of time, resulting in dramatic improvements in utilization of our computational resources. In this talk, we will present how we use Docker during test development to reduce the time it takes to write and run functional tests and to include more test configurations. We will then go in-depth on a particularly novel use case: compatibility testing. Attendees will come away with a perspective on Docker that will help them adopt it into their own test frameworks.

Particle Physics On The Couch: Using CouchDB To Help Unravel The Mysteries Of The Universe - Michael Marino, Echnische Universität München

Pushing the envelope of our understanding of the universe requires physics experiments that measure and analyze data from many disparate systems. Such systems generally have widely different requirements and architectures, making it difficult to implement a single, monolithic program for control and readout. CouchDB is an optimal tool to integrate and save data from such systems since its RESTful interface provides a minimal hurdle that almost all devices large and small can achieve. In this presentation, Mike Marino will describe how CouchDB is being used in the nEDM experiment at the Technische Universität München to integrate, control, view and save measurement data from many different subsystems, ranging from those powered by microcontrollers and mini PCs (Arduinos and Raspberry Pis) to those based on the industrial VMEbus.

Introduction To A Recommender System For Apache OFBiz - Anahita Goljahani

Recommender Systems are engines aimed at predicting users preferences based, e.g., on knowledge about past behaviors of similar users. Recommender Systems have become very popular in the recent years, e.g., to suggest products to buy, articles to read or music to listen. One of the main advantages of Recommendations is that they allow users to discover items that a simple search might not show up. This is one of the reasons why Recommendation engines have become a desirable, if not essential, component of commercial platforms.

In this presentation, Anahita Goljahani will discuss the design of a Recommender System for Apache OFBiz (http://ofbiz.apache.org/), the popular solution for the automation of business applications (ERP, CRM, MRP, E-Commerce, etc.).

Apache Incubator: The Gateway Into The “Apache Way” And A Continual Mentoring Venue - Suresh Marru, ASF & Roman Shaposhnik, Pivotal

New projects enter the Apache Software Foundation through the Incubator program. Wealth of IPMC members guide the podlings teaching the Apache Way. Mentors and incubator community assist in learning through the releases process, albeit sometimes in a hard way. As the podlings graduate and enter into a self-governance mode, the priority of making stringent releases and the vigor of community engagement is often diluted. This talk will cover the perspective of those incubating project members who later came back to the incubator to help others learn from mistakes they made. Pay it forward or perverse sense of payback -- you’ll be the judge.

Subversion With Local Branches (And More) - Branko Čibej, WANdisco

Apache Subversion is one of the most widespread version control systems currently in use. Whilst it has many useful features — and several well-known deficiencies — one of the most often repeated criticisms against it is that it is not "distributed" (or, more properly, "decentralised"), since is has a central repository and does not provide local branches and similar features of most popular DVCS. In this presentation, we'll discuss the Subversion developers' plans for introducing some of these features into Subversion.

But We're Already Open Source! Why Would I Want To Bring My Code To Apache? - Nick Burch, Quanticate

So, your business has already opened sourced some of it's code? Great! But now, someone's asking you about giving it to these Apache people? What's up with that, and why isn't just being open source enough?

In this talk, we'll look at several real world examples of where companies have chosen to contribute their existing open source code to the Apache Software Foundation. We'll see the advantages they got from it, the problems they faced along the way, why they did it, and how it helped their business. We'll also look briefly at where it may not be the right fit.

Wondering about how to take your business's open source involvement to the next level, and if contributing to projects at the Apache Software Foundation will deliver RoI, then this is the talk for you!

Intro To Apache Usergrid, The BaaS Build On Cassandra - David Johnson, Apigee Corp

Whether you are building a mobile app or a web app, Apache Usergrid (incubating) can provide you with a complete backend that supports authentication, persistence and social features like activities and followers all via a comprehensive REST API — and backed by Cassandra, giving you linear scalability. All that, and Usergrid is open source too.

This session will explain how you can use Usergrid to provide a back-end for your application. We’ll start with an overview of Usergrid features, then explore in depth how to authenticate users, store data and query data with the REST API provided by a Usergrid server. We’ll develop a simple HTML5 app and package it as a native mobile app via Apache Cordova. We'll also cover how to run Usergrid locally for development and testing.

Clocker - Migrating Complex Applications To Docker With Apache Brooklyn - Andrew Kennedy, Cloudsoft

Deploying enterprise-class distributed applications to Docker containers spanning multiple hosts is tricky. Dealing with port forwarding, firewalls and injecting configuration into containers for inter-dependencies are just some of the problems.

We will show how Apache Brooklyn's cloud abstractions can be used to simplify the deployment and management of a complex application to a virtual Docker infrastructure. Brooklyn will create and maintain the required Docker containers in the right locations for your application, and control and manage the software and services using policies to scale both the application and infrastructure based on their state.

We will demonstrate deploying simple multi-tier web applications and also a complex financial risk analytics application from OpenGamma, onto a Docker infrastructure.

High Performance Solr - Shalin Shekhar Mangar, LucidWorks Inc.

What makes an Apache Solr installation high performance? Learn about what's keeping that CPU hot, memory tight, disk screaming and network busy on your Solr installation. Optimize CPU usage, reduce memory and disk contention, unclog that network and learn about hidden gotchas of query and filter performance, DocValues, transaction logs etc.

Although, numerous Apache Solr performance tuning tips are available on the world-wide-web but they are distributed between the official Apache Solr reference guide, Apache Lucene/Solr javadocs, code comments, Jira comments, various books, the mailing-list and many blogs. In many cases, such advice is unsubstantiated with numbers or not annotated with the trade-offs.

Shalin will back each piece of advice with statistics and benchmarks as well as inform you about the trade-offs made so you can make more informed decisions.

Building Your Own BaaS With Apache Usergrid & Docker: Lessons Learned At Scale - Sungju Jin, Korea Telecom

BaaS(Backends-as-a-Service) and PaaS(Platforms-as-a-Service) are not just for hipsters anymore. 2013 saw many people building their own PaaS like Heroku, Cloudfoundry or BaaS like Parse, Kinvey.

However, many companies and open-source projects only focus on the advantages of building your own *aaS and the advantages of their own solution. Do we really know what works and what should be considered when building such system? Many people do not know whether they should build a PaaS or BaaS, how they should build it, or even if they should build one at all.

Scaling Solrcloud To A Very Large Number Of Collections - Shalin Shekhar Mangar, LucidWorks, Inc.

The traditional and typical search use case is the one large search collection distributed among many nodes and shared by all users. However, there is a class of applications which need a large number of small or medium collections which can be used, managed and scaled separately. This talk will cover Shalin and LucidWorks' efforts in helping a client set up a large scale SolrCloud setup with thousands of collections running on hundreds of nodes. Shalin will describe the bottlenecks that were found in SolrCloud when running a large number of collections and also the many features and optimisations that were contributed to Apache Solr to reduce or remove the choke points in the system. Finally, Shalin will talk about the benchmarking process and the lessons learned from supporting such an installation in production.

Continuous Automated Deployment With Apache Ace - Jan Willem Janssen & Marcel Offermans, Luminis Technologies

Nowadays, it is quite common to have build infrastructure that, on every change in a repository, builds your software and runs all your tests. However this is where most development teams stop. This talk demonstrates how you can consistently deploy systems from development to testing, staging and production.
With Bndtools we semantically version bundles in the Eclipse IDE. The continuous build is setup to automatically deploy to a bundle repository and create snapshots of changed bundles compared to a baselined version that is available in a release repository. By hooking up these repositories to Apache ACE, such updates can instantly be deployed to systems in different configurations, allowing you to deploy new features to QA systems, beta users and finally roll them out to all other customers.
We’ll also go into real life scenarios and pitfalls we have encountered setting this up.

Scalable Stream Processing With Apache Samza And Apache Kafka - Martin Kleppmann, LinkedIn

Samza, an Apache Incubator project, is a framework for processing and analysing high-volume data streams. It is built upon Apache Kafka and YARN (Hadoop 2.0). You can think of Samza as a real-time, continuously running version of MapReduce.

In this talk, Martin will show why stream processing is becoming an important part of the architecture of data-intensive applications, alongside storage and batch processing. We will explore how Samza works, and show how it reliably processes millions of messages per second. We will also examine what kinds of applications would benefit from using Samza.

Anatomy Of An Apache OpenOffice Extension - Pedro Giffuni, Apache Software Foundation

Developing code within the huge, and sometimes daunting, Apache OpenOffice code can sometimes be very difficult, specially if you only want to add a very specific piece of code that few people want.
As part of an ongoing effort to improve the Operation Research capabilities within Apache OpenOffice, I will try to document the different parts of an Apache OpenOffice extension.

Apache OpenOffice supports a framework called UNO, Universal Network Objects, for developing extensions. Extensions can be written in C/C++, Python or Java.

The UNO documentation is somewhat sparse and most of the developers end up taking some existing extension and use it as a template to write their own. This introductory talk will consider the characteristics behind UNO and will provide the basics to write such applications.

Open Development In The Enterprise - Bertrand Delacretaz, Adobe

Open Development is often mentioned in open source circles nowadays, as a way to make projects really open, sustainable and meritocratic rather than based on people's titles or hierarchical ranking.
Does this model have its place in the enterprise? Can we apply the open source governance models to enterprise projects, where you'd usually expect a strictly hierarchical decision making process?
The open collaboration methods used by the some development groups at Adobe demonstrate that this is not only possible, but brings measurable benefits in terms of agility, employee satisfaction and quality of the final product.
This talk describes the key elements that make this possible, and provides pointers to developers or project leaders to start using such a model in their own projects.

The Flink Big Data Analytics Platform - Márton Balassi, Hungarian Academy of Sciences & Gyula Fóra

Apache Incubator Flink is a next-generation platform for big data analysis originating from the Stratosphere project (www.stratosphere.eu). Flink offers an alternative runtime engine to Hadoop MapReduce, but uses HDFS for data storage and runs on top of YARN. Flink`s runtime streams data rather than processing them in batch, uses out-of-core implementations for data-parallel processing tasks, degrading to disk if main memory is not sufficient. Flink is programmable via a Java or Scala API that includes functional operators like map, reduce, join, cogroup, and cross. Analysis logic is specified without the need of linking user-defined functions. Flink includes a cost-based program optimizer that picks data shipping strategies. Finally, Flink features support for iterative programs and graph processing programs. As a consequence Flink is currently witnessing its first commercial use cases.

Doing The Write Thing: Document Editing Made Mobile - Louis Suárez-Potts, Age of Peers, Inc. & Peter Kelly, UX Productivity

At the Denver ApacheCon last April, I presented on the evolution of OpenOffice, and the need for a good quality, compatible solution for mobile devices.

Participants suggested establishing a project in Apache Labs to address this problem. It would depart from existing architectures but could reuse some elements from OpenOffice where appropriate. It would be lightweight, portable, and independent of legacy code.

A good starting point would be UX Write, developed by Peter Kelly. It only runs on iOS at present, but most of the code is cross-platform, and could be made to work on Android and other systems. Peter and I have discussed the idea of open-sourcing parts of the app under the Apache 2.0 license. The app uses HTML natively, and WebKit for displaying documents on-screen, and supports import/export of .docx, export of LaTeX, and could be further extended to support ODF.

For operators, they pose issues when dealing with machine failures and deploying to multiple machines. For application developers, it often means having to rewrite fault-tolerant features into multiple apps.

This presentation will introduce Apache Mesos and Apache Aurora, two projects that work together to simplify running and deploying distributed systems across large pools of machines by providing a substrate for distributed systems. I'll cover their essential architectures and how they enable fault-tolerance with replicated master nodes, scalability to 10,000's of machines, and resource isolation between tasks. Attendees will come away with an understanding of how these separate software abstractions (resource manager & service scheduler) work individually and together.

Apache Zookeeper In The Wild - Rakesh Radhakrishnan, Huawei Technologies

A high-performance centralized coordination service is a critical component for any distributed application. Apache Zookeeper is such a component and it has been in the past few years a practical solution to cluster coordination. When running ZooKeeper in production, however, there are many issues that one needs to be aware of, like proper connection management, number of direct children of a single node, herd effect, watcher implementations etc. In this presentation, I will cover some of my experience while running ZooKeeper in production.

Apache Bigtop: Saving The Day For Spark And Others - Roman Shaposhnik, Pivotal

Building a working data processing stack using open source or commercial components is a challenging and highly complex task. Multiple often conflicting dependencies, many development teams with different release trains might dictate a substantial coordination effort. A constant flow of new features, bug fixes, and other changes are almost a disaster in making when it comes to the regression and quality control at any stage between development and production environment. Businesses with internal development teams are facing the issues with integration points of their deliverables into the bigger, company wide data platform software. The problem is exaggerated by exponential growth of the standard libraries and transient dependencies. Oftentimes, it is next to impossible to create a well controlled and reproducible system environment in all stages of the platform life-cycle.

Improving Spark Application Performance - William Benton, Red Hat

Apache Spark presents an elegant and powerful set of high-level abstractions for developing distributed data-processing applications. Analysts who use Spark can rapidly prototype applications and experiment with new techniques at scale. However, to make the most of Spark, developers need to understand both the abstractions and how Spark will schedule and execute their code.

This talk will show you how to improve Spark application performance by working with, not against, Spark's operational model. We'll start with a real prototype Spark application and apply several simple, generally applicable transformations to make it more efficient and scalable. For each transformation, we'll look both at *why* it works, considering the relevant details of Spark's internals, and *how well* it works, considering its impact on overall application performance. You'll leave this talk with an improved understanding of how Spark runs your code and some additional tools to make your big data apps even more efficient.

Time Series Data With Apache Cassandra - Eric Evans, OpenNMS Group

Whether it's statistics, astronomy, finance, or network management, time series data plays a critical role in analytics and forecasting. Yet, while many tools exist, few are able to scale past memory limits; For those challenged by large volumes of data, there is much room for improvement.

Apache Cassandra is a fully distributed second-generation database. Cassandra stores data in key-sorted order making it ideal for time series, and its high throughput and linear scalability make it well suited to very large data sets.

This talk will cover some of the requirements and challenges of large scale time series storage and analysis. Cassandra data and query modeling for this use-case will be discussed, and Newts, an open source Cassandra-based time series store under development at The OpenNMS Group will be introduced.

Become a Hero!

Open Source projects are only as good as the people that work on them. A project's first objective should be to increase its developer base. Consequently, this talk invites you to learn what little it takes to make a meaningful contribution to CouchDB.

This talk is a tour through the CouchDB Apache project and wider community. It explains the way the peoject works and where it can be improved, and how.

One of the bigger stumbling blocks for contributors is CouchDB's implementation language Erlang. However, there is plenty to do without ever touching Erlang and we'll show you what you can do.

Finally, if you are not afraid to dive in, we'll give you a gentle introduction to CouchDB's Erlang implementation.

Enabling IoT With Apache Etch And Coap - Giorgio Zoppi, Universitat Pompeu Fabra

The talk introduces the work that we have done about Apache Etch framework and shows the simple steps which have to be done to enable an application to be used as part of the Internet of the things with COAP Protocol.
It shows the features of Etch, such as fully bidirectional client to server communication, synchronous and asynchronous calls, data modelling, error handling and performance and its new binding with COAP as transport protocol. Adding this new protocol to Apache Etch enables its stack to communicate efficiently with Internet Web of Things in language neutral way. The Apache Ecosystem will benefit from those changes to Etch, because it will have a new way to implement network services for constrained resources network (i.e. wireless network or sensor networks).

Multi Language Content Discovery Through Entity Driven Search - Antonio Morales, Zaizi

This presentation is about a Semantic Search Engine built on top of an Apache projects stack.
The scope of the system is to extract content from heterogeneus data sources, process and enrich it , index it and search over this content with advanced User Experience.
This result is achieved with the integration of 4 top level Apache projects : ManifoldCF, Stanbol, Marmotta and Solr.

Apache Manifold is used to access different data sources and extract the content from them: it's the engine that moves the main indexer core of the system. The document extracted are processed in a pipe-line manner, here happens the integration with Apache Stanbol and Apache Marmotta that allows the semantic enrichment of the content according to any Linked Data assets.

OSGi For Mere Mortals - Bertrand Delacretaz, Adobe

In the last few years, OSGi has become ""the"" module system for Java - but is OSGi just for gurus, or are mere mortals actually able to use it?
The simple tutorial RESTful server application presented in this talk aims to demonstrate that the average Java developer can actually use OSGi, and greatly benefit from it. It is built from scratch based on a set of standard and custom OSGi services, in a simple and understandable way.
Taking advantage of a number of build plugins and runtime tools provided by the Apache Felix and Apache Sling projects allows us to write little code in our example application, while exposing the advantages of an OSGi-based architecture in a simple and convincing way.

Apache Giraph: Start Analyzing Graph Relationships In Your Big Data In 45 Minutes (Or Your Money Back)! - Roman Shaposhnik, Pivotal

The genesis of Hadoop was in analyzing massive amounts of data with a mapreduce framework. SQL-onHadoop has followed shortly after that, paving a way to the whole schema-on-read notion. Discovering graph relationship in your data is the next logical step. Apache Giraph (modeled on Google’s Pregel) lets you apply the power of BSP approach to the unstructured data. In this talk we will focus on practical advice of how to get up and running with Apache Giraph, start analyzing simple data sets with built-in algorithms and finally how to implement your own graph processing applications using the APIs provided by the project. We will then dive into how Giraph integrates with the Hadoop ecosystem (Hive, HBase, Accumulo, etc.) and will also provide a whirlwind tour of Giraph architecture.

LDAP Testing: Does It Have To Be A Nightmare? - Emmanuel Lecharny, Symas

When it comes to testing the LDAP part of an application, it's usually a task that is seen as a punishment by many developpers. The JNDI API does not help, nor does the fact most of the time, you have to reset your LDAP server between each test.

We will expose a better way to do LDAP based tests.

Apache Directory Server has some revert mechanisms that spare developers the need of resetting the LDPA server between tests. We also have a full annotation based solution to initialize a LDAP server in unit tests.

Apache LDAP API is way simpler than JNDI and has extended features that makes it easer to use for any Java developper.

We will present those features with simple tests and some more complex.

Lizard - Clustering An RDF Triplestore - Andy Seaborne, Epimorphics Ltd

This is the story of building a clustered SPARQL database. Demand on
triplestores is growing, both in terms of scale and reliable operation.
Replication and clustering are needed for fault tolerant operation and for
larger datasets. Server replication of a single machine database only get so far.
It is easier to have a system designed to harness the capabilities of
several machines in one system. The goal of ""Lizard"" is to provide a solid
platform for triplestore operation.

In this presentation, Andy will describe how ""Lizard"" takes the Apache Jena
TDB database design and extends it to cluster operation. The talk will

Addressing File Format Compatibility in Word Processors - Louis Suárez-Potts, Age of Peers, Inc. & Peter Kelly, UX Productivity

A well-known XKCD comic parodies the industry's solution to standards proliferation: a new, "universal" standard to replace all its predecessors. We all know where that leads. In this talk, I'll discuss an alternate approach that deals with the mess without creating more of it, in the context of word processing.

We want software that can read and write multiple formats, which means creating lots of filters. These should operate in a non-destructive manner, allowing modifications without losing information during conversion. I've been working on this for the past couple of years as part of UX Write - supporting HTML, Microsoft Word, LaTeX, and soon, ODF. I'd like to share this work with the community.

What's With The 1S And 0S? Making Sense Of Binary Data At Scale With Tika And Friends - Nick Burch, Quanticate

If you have one or two files, you can take the time to manually work out what they are, what they contain, and how to get the useful bits out (probably....). However, this approach really doesn't scale, mechanical turks or no! Luckily, there are Apache projects out there which can help!

In this talk, we'll first look at how we can work out what a given blob of 1s and 0s actually is, be it textual or binary. We'll then see how to extract common metadata from it, along with text, embedded resources, images, and maybe even the kitchen sink! We'll see how to do all of this with Apache Tika, and how to dive down to the underlying libraries (including its Apache friends like POI and PDFBox) for specialist cases. Finally, we'll look a little bit about how to roll this all out on a Big Data or Large-Search case.

“Your Search Doesn’t Work.” - How to Find Out Whether or Not the Search Box You Offer Users is Helping - Isabel Drost-Fromm, Elasticsearch

Web sites without search functionality are unimaginable today - you search for comments and code on github, you look for books in your favourite webshop, you use the search box of your favourite blog to find articles.

When offering your search for your own application - how do you know that your search actually provides a benefit to the user instead of causing lots of frustration over results not found? Only checking that the favourite book about witches of your child is ranked top of all children books clearly doesn’t help.

This talk will walk you through the options of determining search quality - from purely offline metrics that work even before deploying version 1.0 to production to online A/B testing to check continuous improvement. I will highlight some Lucene and Elasticsearch features that can tremendously help you deploy your own search quality checks.

Collaborated Editing On ODF - Svante Schubert, OASIS ODF Advanced Collaboration Subcommittee

Automated Changes on OpenDocuments (Svante Schubert, Freelancer) - The OpenDocument format (ODF) consists of compressed XML files. ODF is read and written by many Office applications; the Apache ODF Toolkit (incubating) provides the ability of an easy automated access. In this presentation, Svante Schubert will describe how recent changes of the OpenDocument format in the OASIS standard for version 1.3, allow interoperability for real-time editing and how this is being mapped to the ODF Toolkit in a way that even collaboration with OOXML and HTML applications (such as browsers) is possible.

OSGi Remote Services In A Microservices World - Marcel Offermans, Luminis Technologies

In a Microservices architecture applications get decomposed into functionally cohesive services that are implemented as separate processes that interact through the network using simple protocols. This allows applications to scale during deployment by distributing and replicating the services across compute resources as required.

However popular, common criticism includes the use of implicit and poorly defined interfaces, the fact that every component must implement remoting concerns and the fact that it introduces significant processing overhead as every service invocation traverses the network, even if the services are on the same box!

In this presentation we discuss how OSGi Remote Services can address these concerns in an OSGi context by providing the developer strongly typed services that may or may not actually be transparently remoted across a scaled-out deployment.

Introduction To Apache jclouds - Ignasi Barrera, Abiquo

Apache jclouds is an open source library that helps you get started in the cloud and utilizes your Java or Clojure development skills. The jclouds API gives you the freedom to use portable abstractions or cloud-specific features. It's a multi-cloud toolkit that works with both public and private clouds.

There is a great community behind this toolkit working together to provide a better experience for developers in the cloud. Their goal is to simplify the control of many different clouds while still giving you the freedom to use cloud-specific features. The result is a toolkit that allows developers to write better code, in a shorter period of time, that works with supported clouds.

Introduction To Apache Slider - Steve Loughran, Hortonworks

With YARN, Apache Hadoop can deploy distributed applications —applications which can dynamically expand or contract their size based on demand or other factors. It allows the application to choose the placement of distributed components within the cluster, as well as their resource requirements such as CPUs and memory. As YARN evolves to support long-lived services, YARN applications can become services supporting broader uses.

Taking advantage of these features has required the application to be rewritten as a YARN application, central to which is the Application Master —a process which manages the allocation of components across the cluster, deployment of these components, as well as failure handling.

The Apache Slider project can deploy distributed applications without requiring them to be ported to YARN: Slider provides the Application Master and the allocation, deplo

Build More With Less... But How? - Dan Haywood, Haywood Associates Ltd. & Jeroen van der Wal, Stromboli b.v.

The ""build more"" in this case means building line-of-business enterprise applications, the stuff that's the operational heart of your organisation.

And the ""with less"" means less resources, in other words in less time, with fewer developers, faster time to market.

But the ""how"" is the interesting bit. In 2012 Jeroen approached Dan with a problem... he wanted to write a bespoke application for his client, a European multi-billion property management company that operates over 60 shopping malls. For various reasons, Jeroen wanted to explore whether Apache Isis could be used as the platform on which to build a bespoke replacement.

Fast forward two years and Estatio (also open source) is in production, and it took about 2 man years (Jeroen and Dan, part-time) to write. We don't think there's a Java framework out there to match Isis for productivity. Let us fill in the blanks.

Towards a Commons RDF Library - Sergio Fernández, Redlink GmbH

In the Java world there is an historical incompatibility issue between the two major RDF toolkits: Apache Jena and OpenRDF Sesame. But behind this effort there is a completely different approach than before. This library does not pretend to be a generic API wrapping those libraries, but a set of interfaces for the RDF 1.1 concepts that can be used to expose cores concepts using common Java interfaces. In the initial phase commons-rdf is focused on a subset of the core concepts defined by RDF 1.1 (URI/IRI, Blank Node, Literal, Triple, and Graph). In particular, Commons RDF aims to provide a type-safe, non-general API that covers RDF 1.1. In a future phase we may define interfaces for Datasets or Quads.

Counts in core contributors from both Jena and Sesame, But it will live or die on its own merits!

How Secure Is Your Web Framework? - Lukasz Lenart, ASF

In this talk I would like to present few recently discovered security vulnerabilities in the Apache Struts 2 web framework and based on that try to increase developers' awareness of the overall application security. In my opinion, nowadays developers don’t care about the security too much, they depend on what the framework gives them. Quite often, they even don’t check security bulletins to see if a new vulnerability wasn’t discovered recently in his/her famous framework. I would like show few web attacks and explain how it was possible to harm an application or even entire server, how to prevent such kind of attacks in the future and so on. Examples will base on the Apache Struts 2, but almost all the same problems were pointed out in the Spring MVC or in the Apache Wicket. Each framework has its own weaknesses :-)

Keynote: The Value of the Apache Software Foundation - David Nalley, VP of Infrastructure, Apache Software Foundation

Value: the importance, worth, usefulness or impact of something. Talking about an organization's value is second nature in the business world. We talk about a startup like Uber having a $17 billion valuation, or a company like VMware having a $43 billion dollar market capitalization. But looking at traditional business metrics doesn't work for the Apache Software Foundation or most other non-profit organizations. We don't have customers or profit, we don't have showcase offices, or buildings. The ASF doesn't really have that much money; and it's completely dependent on the kindness and generosity of sponsors for what money it does bring in. Does that mean that the ASF isn't valuable, or doesn't have impact? How do we even measure our worth as an organization? What is our place in the technology world? Why bother asking the question?

Keynote: Open Innovation 2.0 - Response to Innovation Challenges - Bror Salmelin, Adviser, Innovation Systems, European Commission Directorate General for Communications, Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT)

This talk will illustrate the Open Innovation 2.0 paradigm based on the twenty snapshots from the white paper by Martin Curley and Bror Salmelin (downloadable from https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/node/66731). Open Innovation 2.0 is based on creating commons, sharing them in quadruple helix innovation ecosystems and building on common open, functional platforms. This new paradigm is also based on mash-up innovation processes rather than linear ones.

The speech will address how the EU is taking the new open innovation approach on board with new projects and new instruments as well.

Workshop: Owning Time Series With Team Apache - Cassandra, Spark, Spark Streaming and Kafka - Patrick McFadin, DataStax

Break out your laptops for this hands-on tutorial is geared around understanding the basics of how Apache Cassandra stores and access time series data. We'll start with an overview of how Cassandra works and how that can be a perfect fit for time series. Then we will add in Apache Spark as a perfect analytics companion. There will be coding as a part of the hands on tutorial. The goal will be to take a example application and code through the different aspects of working with this unique data pattern. The final section will cover the building of an end-to-end data pipeline to ingest, process and store high speed, time series data.

Tutorial: Stop Scaffolding, Start Coding. - Dan Haywood, Haywood Associates Ltd. & Jeroen van der Wal, Stromboli b.v. (Additional Fee to Attend)

If you build line-of-business applications in Java, then probably Spring (or maybe JEE 7) is where you live. But it can take a long time to get going and start delivering any sort of business value with those stacks; wiring up and scaffolding all those layers of your architecture takes time, right?

Doesn't have to be that way, though. Apache Isis is a platform for developing domain-driven applications, so you can build an entire working app just by writing your business domain. No scaffolding required. We promise.

This hands-on session is an opportunity to play with Isis, learn about its testing support and out-of-the-box modules and REST API, while supported by two of its core committers. We'll provide some exercises and notes for you to work through, but we're also happy to support you if you just want to go out and build something brand new for yourself.

Apache CXF offers the most flexible support for both REST and SOAP of any Java web services stack, including different XML data bindings and JSON output for REST web services. It also gives you a range of configuration options, including Spring-based, annotation-based, and direct configuration in code. In this tutorial Dennis Sosnoski will teach you the basics of working with Apache CXF 3.0 for REST and SOAP web services, including the different configuration options. He'll demonstrate the features in action, and also supply you with example code so you can try things out on your own computer, either during the tutorial or later.

Tutorial: Web Services Security and Reliability with CXF - Dennis Sosnoski, Sosnoski Software Associates Ltd. (Additional Fee to Attend)

Beyond the basics of REST and SOAP web services, Apache CXF also supports a full range of SOAP extension technologies. Two of the most important extension technologies are WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging. The WS-Security family of technologies add message-level security to basic SOAP exchanges, while WS-ReliableMessaging adds delivery assurance options. In this tutorial Dennis Sosnoski will show you how to apply WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging to your CXF SOAP applications, including basic configuration options, and demonstrate how these technologies effect the message exchanges. He'll discuss how organizations are using security and reliability for web services, and identify potential interoperability issues with other frameworks. You'll receive example code so you can try things out on your own computer, either during the tutorial or later.
