Description- The talk presents the Fractal Component Model, an original component model developed by INRIA and FT R&D for the construction of reconfigurable software systems. The talk motivates the definition of the Fractal model as a contribution to the field of component-based software engineering, presents the main concepts of the Fractal model, positions the Fractal model in relation with other component models in the field, and gives an overwiew of the main tools developed by the open source Fractal project (hosted by the OW2 consortium) to support Fractal-based software system construction. The Fractal component model has a number of distinctive features. In particular, it supports components with different forms of reflection, allowing the run-time modification of a software system implementation, and the elegant combination of component-based and aspect-oriented programming. The talk ends with a short discussion of successful, industrial-strength, Fractal-based software developments.
Description- This presentation addresses the development of Fractal applications with the Java programming language. The presentation starts with the basic notions of component programming with Fraclet, a set of Java 5 annotations for defining among others, services provided and required by components. The presentation then moves on to address the definition of component assemblies with Fractal ADL, an XML-based assembly language for Fractal. The Fractal API for reconfiguring and dynamically managing a running Fractal application is then detailed. Before concluding, the presentation zooms in on two platforms for programming Fractal applications in Java: Julia which is the reference one, and AOKell.

Description- This presentation addresses the development of Fractal applications with the C programming language. The presentation starts with a brief introduction to Component Based Software Engineering and the Fractal component model. Then it presents the Cecilia environment for programming Fractal components in the C programming language: its Architecture Definition Language (ADL), Interface Definition Language (IDL) and programming paradigm are presented in the form of a Hello World tutorial. Finally, this talk introduces some of the Cecilia tools and libraries that you can find hosted on OW2 and that can serve you as the basis to start developing Cecilia-based systems.

Description- This talk presents SpagoBI, the Open Source Business Intelligence platform, developed and supported by Engineering and hosted by the OW2 Consortium. SpagoBI 2.0 marks a significant step ahead in the OSBI domain thanks to its solid and scalable architecture, based on the Service Oriented paradigm, to its powerful security and profiling management and to the presence of a big variety of analytical solutions, ranging from classical reporting and dimensional analysis to original and innovative modules. You will discover how it is possible, in a secure and ergonomic environment, to build Business Intelligence and Decision Support Solutions by leveraging analtycal tools as: reporting, OLAP engines, dashboards, KPI Engine, Location Intelligence to plot data analysis on geographical maps, Analytical Dossier to improve collaboration and cooperation between BI actors. The talks ends with a short illustration of the SpagoBI business model and the professional services provided by Engineering and OW2.
Description- Open Source Business Intelligence is getting more and more attention as a viable alternative to proprietary solutions. In a context where the major suppliers are merging and creating a circle of leading actors, OSBI is promoting a new model of delivering Business Intelligence solutions. The webinar gives an overview of the most important open source projects in the different domains of the Business Intelligence solutions stack, from data management to business applications level.
DescriptionDescription- SOFA 2 is a component system employing hierarchically composed components. It is a direct successor of the SOFA component model, which provides the following features: ADL-based design, behavior specification using behavior protocols, automatically generated connectors supporting seamless and transparent distribution of applications, and distributed runtime environment with dynamic update of components.
From its predecessor, SOFA 2 has inherited the core component model, which is however improved and enhanced in the following way: (1) the component model is defined by means of its meta-model; (2) it allows for a dynamic reconfiguration of component architecture and for accessing components under the SOA concepts; (3) via connectors, it supports not only plain method invocation, but in fact any communication style; (4) it introduces aspects to components and uses them to clearly separate the control (non-functional) part of components and to make it extensible. Similar to it predecessor, SOFA 2 is not only a tool for modeling components, but it provides a complete framework supporting all the stages of an application lifecycle from development to execution.
Description- QualiPSo is an Open Source initiative funded by the European Commission.
