9:00AM - 9:30AM	Evaluate KEYNOTE: Developers are the New Kingmakers (Commonwealth Complex) Stephen O'Grady [RedMonk] Developers are the New Kingmakers (Commonwealth Complex) Over the past decade, a number of unconnected developments in the technology industry have conspired to shift the balance of power towards the developer. In this talk, we'll explore the evidence behind the argument, how it came to pass and the implications for organizations of all industries. With software increasingly the foundation of businesses inside and outside the technology industry, we'll walk through concrete recommendations for living in a developer-driven world. Track: Cool Stuff (Other) Experience: Beginner
9:30AM - 10:00AM	Evaluate KEYNOTE: Moving towards ALM 3.0 (Commonwealth Complex) Jeffrey Hammond [Forrester Research] Moving towards ALM 3.0 (Commonwealth Complex) How do we build software? Let us count the ways... We're at the cusp of a perfect storm in application development, where a number of mega-trends are changing the way companies do software development. A move toward modern application architectures will undoubtedly impact application life-cycle management - but how? In this session, Forrester Principal Analyst Jeffrey Hammond will review how ALM practices are evolving on teams that are building modern applications, and the impact of architecture and infrastructure modernization on development tools, processes and organizations. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate
10:00AM - 10:30AM	Morning Break - Exhibits Open
10:30AM - 11:05AM	Evaluate The Art of Java Performance Tuning Ed Merks [itemis] The Art of Java Performance Tuning Performance tuning Java is as much an art as it is a science. Understanding the intrinsic performance characteristics of method calls, heap allocations, and casts is essential for developing efficient code at the micro level. Understanding the overall performance of applications as a whole is essential for developing efficient algorithms at the macro level. It's critically important in all cases to measure in several different ways and to double check that those measurements are consistent. Track: Cool Stuff (Other) Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Java DSLs with Xtext Jan Koehnlein [itemis] Java DSLs with Xtext Building DSLs with Xtext is easy: You define the most convenient syntax and generate whatever code you like from it. But integrating these DSLs within a Java project usually involves bridging some major gaps, e.g. mutual referencing, mixing generated and hand-written code as well as integration on the IDE level. Xtext's special support for Java DSLs gives you all of this and more for free. Track: DSL Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Deployment-oriented development with Puppet Deepak Giridharagopal [Puppet Labs] Deployment-oriented development with Puppet There is the code that you've written, and then there are the systems upon which that code executes. Developers take it for granted that they can modify their code, refactor it, split it up into components, and evolve it over time to better meet their needs. So why can't we apply the same sort of principles to our infrastructure? This talk aims to answer the following question: "How would the way you do development change if you could model your infrastructure as code?" Puppet is a tool that helps automate the configuration of systems. It Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Styling Tips for the Refined RCP App Bogdan Gheorghe [IBM Canada] Styling Tips for the Refined RCP App The e4 styling engine is the de facto way to dress up your RCP app! Join me for an in depth tour of the styling engine's main features - APIs to tooling to examples; everything you need to get you up and styling. We will start by taking a look at how the IDE makes use of the styling engine and how you can use the provided tools to customize your IDE and create new looks. We will then turn our attention to how to make use of the engine to style your RCP app, including how to extend the engine with your own custom property handlers. Track: Eclipse 4 Experience: Beginner	Evaluate PLM and ALM – strange but necessary bedfellows Matt Klassen PLM and ALM – strange but necessary bedfellows Systems software is growing at an incredible pace as products in all walks of life are becoming smart devices. Software was once thought of as a simple part in a products Bill of Materials (BoM), much like a resistor or spring. When that was true, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems could afford to have rudimentary point to point integrations with various software development tools such as software configuration management tools for the publishing of software bits into the BoM. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Modularizing Large Legacy Java Applications Vineet Sinha [Architexa] Modularizing Large Legacy Java Applications Need to migrate a project to run on an OSGi platform? Dreading working with a large, hard-to-maintain Java App? Finding development productivity moving to a stand-still? Whether it is modularizing a project just to get it under control or to move the code to use a module system like OSGi, working with legacy codebase can be a nightmare. In this session, we talk about some of our experiences working with two large projects. We share tips on what worked well, and suggest exercises that might help in day-to-day maintenance of projects. Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Beginner	Evaluate ALM, Agile ALM, DevOps, Continuous Delivery - strangers, cousins, twins from different mothers? (Presented by IBM) Carolyn Pampino ALM, Agile ALM, DevOps, Continuous Delivery - strangers, cousins, twins from different mothers? (Presented by IBM) It seems that the faster our markets move, the faster we invent buzz words. The more complex the market becomes, the more complex our buzzwords. Let's play buzzword bingo while discussing ALM, Agile ALM, DevOps and Continuous Delivery. Are they practices? Attempts at defining the software lifecycle? Market categories? Tools? Or all of the above? We'll have something to give to the first person who fills out their buzzword bingo card. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner
11:05AM - 11:15AM	Transition Time
11:15AM - 11:50AM	Evaluate Deploying Heterogeneous Artifacts to the Cloud with OSGi Neil Bartlett [Paremus Ltd] Deploying Heterogeneous Artifacts to the Cloud with OSGi OSGi is a wonderful platform for cloud deployment... but modern software stacks are increasingly heterogeneous in nature. This means that alongside our OSGi bundles we must be able to deploy non-OSGi artifacts such as monolithic Java applications or even native libraries and executables. Furthermore the platforms onto which we deploy may be heterogeneous, i.e. having different operating systems, processors, memory, GPU etc. Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Beginner	Evaluate EMF Compare 2.0: Scaling to Millions Mikael Barbero [Obeo] EMF Compare 2.0: Scaling to Millions When it started in 2007, EMFCompare 1.x was designed to compare models that could fit entirely in memory. Since then, EMF has been used to design bigger and bigger models, to the point that they can sometimes barely fit entirely in a laptop's memory. EMFCompare 1.x is irrelevant to compare such big models because its comparison engine needs to handle 2 or 3 versions (three-way diff) of the models under comparison. Track: Modeling Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Continuous testing with Jubula – where the rubber meets the road! Markus Tiede [BREDEX GmbH] Continuous testing with Jubula – where the rubber meets the road! You've got software. You've got a list of features to implement. You've got some automated tests. You've got upcoming releases. The only glue that is going to make this scenario work is Continuous Integration. When you're adding and changing functionality, knowing what your changes are doing to your quality on a daily basis can be the difference between a successful release and a horrifically painful one. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Building an open community: feedback from the M2M trenches Benjamin CABE [Sierra Wireless] Building an open community: feedback from the M2M trenches When we launched the M2M Industry Working Group in 2011, we came up with the proposition of delivering all the enablers allowing the development of an end-to-end M2M solution, from the development of embedded applications to the communication with web infrastructures. It was clear from day one that in order to fulfill this promise, we would need to not only deliver actual working technology, but also to work early on building a community of early adopters, industrial users, and contributors. Track: Community Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Requirements On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown Tom Grant Requirements On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown Agile puts enormous strains on the people responsible for software requirements: How do they get just enough requirements in time for the next sprint? How do you pack enough information into the requirements to provide meaningful guidance? Will you ever provide meaningful guidance for outsourcing partners? How do you spin off additional artifacts for governance and compliance? How do you re-purpose the information in the requirements for other audiences? Do you ever get a chance to do retrospectives on requirements? Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Google Analytics for Eclipse Plugins Max Rydahl Andersen [Red Hat], Andre Dietisheim [Red Hat] Google Analytics for Eclipse Plugins It's always fun to see the download statistics for your plugin, but it is even more fun to see live who is actually using your plugin, how they installed it and where they are from. Getting that up and running can require a lot of bandwidth and infrastructure but luckily there already exist a well known analytics service called Google Analytics that can do this for you with all the graphs and earth-plots you want - even animated. Track: Cool Stuff (Other) Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Jenkins Case Study: A Comparison of Open Source and Commercial Static Analysis Solutions – A Case of Apples and Oranges (Presented by Coverity) Jon Jarboe Jenkins Case Study: A Comparison of Open Source and Commercial Static Analysis Solutions – A Case of Apples and Oranges (Presented by Coverity) FindBugs™ is a popular and useful open source static analysis solution but what can it find that commercial static analysis solutions don’t – and vice versa? This session will examine the defects found in Jenkins using FindBugs and those found through Coverity. We’ll explore specific types of defects found by each solution and the areas of overlap. The session will explore how the combination of open source and commercial static analysis solutions can take your development testing efforts from good to great. Track: Tools Experience: Intermediate
11:50AM - 1:30PM	Lunch (Commonwealth Complex) - Presented by
1:30PM - 2:05PM	Evaluate Become a Eclipse Committer in 20 min and fork the Eclipse IDE Lars Vogel Become a Eclipse Committer in 20 min and fork the Eclipse IDE The Eclipse SDK is available via Git and the common build infrastructure allows to build your own Eclipse IDE. Join this talk to learn how you can checkout the Eclipee 4 SDK source code, modify it, commit your changes and build the Eclipse SDK using CBI and Maven / Tycho. If you follow the approach described in this talk you will be an Eclipse committer (to your local Git repo) and will have your own Eclipse IDE flavor. Track: Community Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Eclipse 4 Goes Formal: API You Can Rely On: Eric Moffatt [IBM Rational Canada] Eclipse 4 Goes Formal: API You Can Rely On: As more folks start wanting to do cool things with Eclipse 4 we've been getting increasing pressure to formalize our API...ok, OK ! This talk will present the official API available in Kepler. An overview will be presented for each functional area: - The UI Model - Dependency Injection - CSS styling There will also be a quick demo of how the API can be used to do some funky stuff in the Eclipse IDE. Track: Eclipse 4 Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate From 1 RPM to 10,000 RPM -- ALM in the As-a-Service Age Steve Harris [CloudBees] From 1 RPM to 10,000 RPM -- ALM in the As-a-Service Age Companies thinking in terms of 9-18 month delivery cycles are bringing a knife to the as-a-service era gunfight. The as-a-service world requires a new generation of tools and a new way of working that processes continuous feedback from users. You're probably already turning around better software at a faster pace then ever before, thanks to agile processes and CI. Take a deep breath, though, because your next application is going to be delivered as a hosted service and will likely depend on other hosted services provided by third parties. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Your custom modeling environment definition made easy. At last! Stephane Bonnet [Thales], Cedric Brun [Obeo] Your custom modeling environment definition made easy. At last! This talk introduces a powerful, field-proven technology allowing the easy and rapid development of custom modeling environments. Both simple enough to be exploited by non-EMF experts and compliant with the international standard for architecture descriptions of systems and software, this technology provides: • Different highly-customizable kinds of representations, such as diagrams with filters and layers, tables and trees; • Model lifecycle management with an integration in the Eclipse workspace; • Advanced extension capabilities. Track: Modeling Experience: Beginner	Evaluate It's all about feedback - code review as a great tool in the agile toolbox Stefan Lay [SAP AG], Matthias Sohn [SAP AG] It's all about feedback - code review as a great tool in the agile toolbox Agile software engineering practices like Pair Programming, Test Driven Development and Continuous Integration have one thing in common: They help the team to get feedback as fast as possible. In this talk we will show how we learned - from contributing to open source projects like EGit, JGit and Gerrit - to use Code Review as another, very effective feedback cycle in our in-house scrum projects. Furthermore we talk about how open-source-like processes including Code Review can help in large projects with many scrum teams. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate RFC-193: Bringing CDI to the OSGi platform Paul Bakker [Luminis Technologies] RFC-193: Bringing CDI to the OSGi platform CDI (Context and Dependency Injection) is the standardised dependency injection model in Java EE 6. The CDI-OSGi specification brings CDI to OSGi to publish and consume OSGi services. Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Fully Hosted Software Development with Orion (Presented by IBM) Ken Walker [IBM Canada] Fully Hosted Software Development with Orion (Presented by IBM) Ken will demonstrate how IBM will enable development, collaborative lifecycle management, source control and deployment to a totally hosted cloud solution.

Track: Cool Stuff (Other) Experience: Beginner
2:05PM - 2:15PM	Transition Time
2:15PM - 2:50PM	Evaluate Bootstrapping Android Apps with Open Source Jake Wharton [Square, Inc.] Bootstrapping Android Apps with Open Source As the general quality of Android apps grow, the pressure on developers to deliver an amazing experience also increases. Learn how to empower development by leveraging the efforts of the open source community rather than become overwhelmed under the requirements of a new application. Track: Mobile Development Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Marketing an Open Source Project Dave Neary [Red Hat] Marketing an Open Source Project Marketing is something we all do, whether we realise it or not. Marketing in Open Source starts when you're writing the software - who am I writing for? What will it do? Where will I announce it? I need a website! Marketing a project involves having a vision that attracts people to your project, knowing your target audience and how to reach them, and tailoring a product to meet their needs. Track: Community Experience: Beginner	Evaluate DevOps Without Dev Is Dead On Arrival Ashish Kuthiala [Electric Cloud] DevOps Without Dev Is Dead On Arrival Software applications are often the engine of business today, and to gain a competitive advantage, they need to quickly innovate and respond to change without compromising quality. To meet these needs, software development teams are increasingly adopting methodologies such as Agile to deliver software more frequently. Building and testing these applications is one challenge, but getting them into production environments is quite another. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate The lessons of restructuring plugin-based software Martin Lippert [VMware, Inc.], Leo Dos Santos [Tasktop Technologies] The lessons of restructuring plugin-based software Developing systems out of a set of Eclipse plugins (or OSGi bundles) does not necessarily mean your software is wellmodular and nicely structured. We learned this through experience as we restructured the SpringSource Tool Suite into a set of smaller and largely independent projects. We always assumed that our set of plugins was nicely structured and well modularized, so shifting projects around and splitting things up should be easy. But it wasn't. By far not. Track: Cool Stuff (Other) Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Looking in from the outside - Scenario-guided design, ALM and OSLC Carolyn Pampino Looking in from the outside - Scenario-guided design, ALM and OSLC In 2008, the Jazz team set out on a journey to provide a world class ALM solution that allowed for loosely coupled integrations and an experience of 'surfing the ALM web of related artifacts.' In 2012, the solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management received the highest marks in the Forester ALM wave. The team achieved this transformation by having an open architecture based on web standards, building a community for open integrations, and using a user-centric, lifecycle scenario to guide our choices about the experience. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Liberate your components with OSGi services Graham Charters [IBM] Liberate your components with OSGi services Converting any large application to be OSGi based is a difficult and complex process. Many projects find the fences that OSGi put in place puts insurmountable barriers in the way of success. Many projects get a short way through to embrace the concept of modules, but frequently they get no further and as a result they do not see the many benefits of OSGi. Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate import continuous.delivery.* (Presented by ZeroTurnaround) Anton Arhipov [ZeroTurnaround] import continuous.delivery.* (Presented by ZeroTurnaround) When you send a package through FedEx it goes through a tracked, automated process that makes sure that the package arrives promptly at the destination. The same should apply to every commit that you check into the trunk. Continuous Delivery describes how this process can be made fully automated and transparent and we will show you how your commits can be “fedexed” to production on application servers like JBoss, Tomcat, Weblogic and others with the help from Jenkins, LiveRebel and other tools. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate
2:50PM - 3:00PM	Transition Time
3:00PM - 3:35PM	Evaluate This is not your father's CDT Marc Khouzam [Ericsson], Doug Schaefer [QNX Software Systems/BlackBerry] This is not your father's CDT With conservative statistics of over half a million downloads yearly, the CDT Project provides tools for a large number of C/C++ developers across the globe. In recent years, companies that use the CDT have shown a lot of interest and effort towards making it a professional grade set of tools. With a thriving community of 17 active committers, more than 250 contributors, and 1500 contributions over the years, the CDT continues to progress at a great pace. Track: Tools Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Virgo Nano Web, the enterprise ready Eclipse server Lazar Kirchev [SAP AG] Virgo Nano Web, the enterprise ready Eclipse server OSGi Enterprise specification provides OSGi equivalents for many of the enterprise technologies. In Eclipse these are implemented by the Gemini projects. However, what to do in case of a large legacy enterprise Java application using EJBs, JPA, dependency injection and transactions and we want to run it in an OSGi environment? OSGi-fying it won't help - on one hand this would be a time consuming process, and on the other - not all of these technologies are included in the OSGi Enterprise spec. Track: EclipseRT Experience: Beginner		Evaluate Telecommunications Network Planning revisited, moving away from spreadsheet engineering with Eclipse Technologies Christophe Bouhier [NetXForge] Telecommunications Network Planning revisited, moving away from spreadsheet engineering with Eclipse Technologies In this session we provide an overview of how Eclipse technologies were applied in an Enterprise application for the Telecommunications industry. A broad set of technologies from Eclipse and other open source communities like Apache have been carefully integrated together to create an advanced automated system and allow rich user interaction. Track: Modeling Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Continuous Inspection with Sonar Olivier Gaudin [SonarSource] Continuous Inspection with Sonar With Agile Methodology, source code is very much in the center of focus as being an element that must mute constantly over time to be able to keep embracing changes. This key capability to refactor the source code at any point of time is so important that the Technical Debt metaphor was early introduced by Agile practitioners. To sustain a continuous delivery approach, it is necessary to continuously manage technical debt and avoid to look at it after the fact. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Modularity in the Cloud: a Case Study Marcel Offermans [Luminis Technologies], Paul Bakker [Luminis Technologies] Modularity in the Cloud: a Case Study Running in the cloud introduces many new challenges. How to deal with hot updates and auto-scaling for example? Modularity helps solving many of these challenges. In this presentation you will see how to create modular OSGi applications with RESTful web services, using MongoDB and cloud services such as BlobStores. You will also learn about deploying modular applications using Apache ACE and how to apply auto-scaling. Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Testing a Scout Application with JUnit and Jubula (Presented by BSI) Jeremie Bresson [BSI Business Systems Integration AG], Alexandra Schladebeck [BREDEX GmbH] Testing a Scout Application with JUnit and Jubula (Presented by BSI) Writing tests is one of the best practices of software development. This talk presents three ways to test a Scout application: plain JUnit, JUnit within an OSGi context (in combination with mocked services) and black-box UI testing with Jubula. Track: Tools Experience: Intermediate
3:35PM - 4:15PM	Afternoon Break
4:15PM - 4:50PM	Evaluate Code Recommenders: Developers come and go but the code remains Andreas Sewe [Codetrails], Marcel Bruch [Codetrails] Code Recommenders: Developers come and go but the code remains Do you know how long it takes for a new developer to become productive? And do you really know what the developer you let go just last week was working? While developers come and go, their code remains. And with it a wealth of implicit knowledge that is just waiting to be tapped. Using the technology behind Eclipse Code Recommenders, we will demonstrate what information can be extracted from code in open‐source software repositories to support ongoing knowledge transfer between developers. Track: Tools Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Merging technologies to bring 3D printing status to the web Justin Ribeiro [Stickman Ventures, Inc] Merging technologies to bring 3D printing status to the web UPDATE: Thank you for coming out to my talk! If you're like to view the slides, you can find them at http://cdn.cache.stickmanventures.com/presentations/eclipsecon2013/index... with real time 3D printer status attached at the bottom. If you have questions, please let me know. -- Justin 3D printing continues to expand beyond the hackerspaces and into the home. With the addition of many internet connected appliances and M2M devices, why sit and watch the timer at your desk for that print to finish? In this talk, I dive into merging open source software and technologies (such as Eclipse Paho) to help bring a Makerbot Industries Replicator 3D printer to the web. Track: Mobile Development Experience: Beginner	Evaluate No Stone Unturned - The journey of getting from one release a year to Continuous Delivery Kai-Uwe Maetzel [IBM] No Stone Unturned - The journey of getting from one release a year to Continuous Delivery If you reliably ship a major product release once a year, you don't wake up one morning, flip a switch and you are successfully in Continuous Delivery mode. In order to get there you fundamentally have to rethink how you plan, execute, and organize yourself. Kai spearheaded the transformation to Continuous Delivery with his Rational Team Concert development team within IBM Rational. In this talk he will describe the Continuous Delivery development process the team came up with and the thinking behind it. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Advanced	Evaluate What's new in the Http Service Specification Felix Meschberger [Adobe] What's new in the Http Service Specification This talk will present the state of the specification work following up on RFP-150, Http Service Updates. This is a major update to one of the first service specification of the OSGi Alliance in three areas: Support for new Servlet API specifications published since then such as Servlet Filters, Event Listeners and error pages support for the registration of Servlets and Filters using the whiteboard pattern Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate This ALM is a confluence of parallels ! Jyothi G.Shivashankar [Robert Bosch], Ryan Brooks [The Boeing Company] This ALM is a confluence of parallels ! This ALM is a confluence of two high-end engineering industries – the Automotive and the Aerospace industries ! This ALM is a confluence of two successful collaborative software development models – Eclipse and AUTOSAR ! A Confluence of parallel industries OSEE is an Eclipse based ALM being used successfully at Boeing to enable development of safety-critical embedded software in the Aerospace industry. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Design your own UI description language with Xtext and Wazaabi Charles Bonneau [EURA NOVA], Olivier Moises [Generic Concept] Design your own UI description language with Xtext and Wazaabi With most existing frameworks, describing a UI can be painful, hard to read and hard to maintain. And for each of those frameworks, the paradigm is different. Wazaabi allows the developer to model the UI using EMF and to render it, live, using different UI platforms like SWT, Swing, or even more. Furthermore it provides a way to describe the style of the UI in separate model, like CSS does it for HTML. Including that and the capability to declare binding to a data model, Wazaabi is one of the most agile UI declaration framework. Track: DSL Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Extreme Java EE Productivity with Eclipse and the Free Oracle ADF Essentials (Presented by Oracle) Greg Stachnick [Oracle] Extreme Java EE Productivity with Eclipse and the Free Oracle ADF Essentials (Presented by Oracle) Oracle's Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) offers unique support for Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) development, taking enterprise Java EE development into a new level. The combination of OEPE and ADF give developers a large set of pre-defined and highly customizable functionality, together with a large set of rich visual components and much more. Track: Web Development Experience: Beginner
4:50PM - 5:00PM	Transition Time
5:00PM - 6:00PM	Evaluate Shake that FUD; How to migrate your Eclipse 3 legacy code to Eclipse 4 Wim Jongman [Remain Software / Industrial-TSI], Lars Vogel Shake that FUD; How to migrate your Eclipse 3 legacy code to Eclipse 4 You have been working with Eclipse 3 RCP since 2007 or so. The platform has been very good to you and this has resulted in a number of applications. Although it had been announced for a few years, it still came as a surprise that parts of the trustworthy API is now considered legacy. You have heard about the model based Application Platform, Dependency Injection, the Rendering Engine and all that. You don't know exactly how it works yet but it sounds really cool and useful. Track: Eclipse 4 Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Modelling Symposium Jonas Helming [EclipseSource Munich], Ed Merks [itemis] Modelling Symposium The modeling community is among the most active and diverse in Eclipse's ecosystem. The modeling symposium aims to provide a forum for community members to present a brief overview of their work. We will encourage minutes lightning talks to facilitate a broad range of speakers. The primary goal is to introduce interesting, new technological features. We will open up an informal call for submissions from the community. Depending on the number of submissions, we will select the most interesting to compose a diverse slate of talks. Track: Modeling Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Real World: Tycho David Carver Real World: Tycho There are some differences when you use Tycho as part of a Corporate product. Not everything resides nicely into the Maven or Eclipse world. You have to deal with remote developers, dependencies that are not already OSGI bundles, and incomplete or non-existent OSGI bundle information from maven central. This talk will discuss some of these challenges, and the various open source tools available to address these challenges. Topics will discuss: * Managing and Releasing P2 repositories. * Creating OSGI source bundles from maven central. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Eclipse RT Panel: Are we serving the needs of the community? Thomas Watson [IBM], Glyn Normington [SpringSource / VMware], Gunnar Wagenknecht [AGETO], Pascal Rapicault [Ericsson / Rapicorp], Markus Knauer [EclipseSource], Mike Milinkovich [Eclipse Foundation], Doug Clarke [Oracle Canada] Eclipse RT Panel: Are we serving the needs of the community? Since the creation of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and the adoption of Equinox and OSGi in 2004, interest in and use of Eclipse technologies in runtime scenarios has been steadily increasing. The EclipseRT project was designed to foster, promote and house these runtime efforts. Track: EclipseRT Experience: Beginner	Evaluate The future of ALM Panel Dave West , Tom Grant , brad hipps [HP], Melinda Ballou , Sam Guckenheimer [Microsoft], Mike O'Rourke The future of ALM Panel ALM Connect focuses on sharing ALM best practices with the ALM community. But where is ALM going? What is the future of ALM? In this panel, moderated by Dave West, CPO Tasktop and former Forrester Analyst we discuss the future of ALM. The panel includes :- * Mike O'Rourke - VP,Strategy and Product Delivery, IBM Rational. * Sam Guckenheimer - Group Product Planner, Microsoft Visual Studio. * Brad Hipps - Director, HP Software * Melinda Ballou - Program Director, ALM & Executive Strategies * Tom Grant - Senior Analyst, Forrester Research Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Winning the WAR on complexity. Tim Ward [Zuhlke Engineering] Winning the WAR on complexity. Pretty much every Java developer has written a WAR file and some Servlets, and most are familiar with Spring and dependency injection. Those who used these technologies together before the transitive dependency management of Maven will also be painfully familiar with how hard it can be to manage the libraries and versions of libraries inside their application. However this problem is solved, the resulting WAR files are often brittle, bloated and leave you with no idea why any given library is there in the first place. OSGi offers the perfect modularity solution to escape this “class path hell”, but what do you do with your existing monolithic WAR files, and how do you stop them being so big? Thanks to the Enterprise OSGi Web Applications specification, moving Java EE applications to an OSGi stack is as easy as possible, even when the libraries you're using aren't available as OSGi bundles. In this session I will cover the tools and architectural principles which can be used to turn a chunky WAR into a lean, mean, extensible OSGi web application! Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Using HP Anywhere & Eclipse to Build Engaging Mobile Apps for the Enterprise (Presented by HP) Amit Erental , Alon Mei-Raz [HP Software] Using HP Anywhere & Eclipse to Build Engaging Mobile Apps for the Enterprise (Presented by HP) Enterprise users expect compelling, connected and powerful mobile apps. They expect apps that empower them to be productive whenever, wherever and on whatever device they choose. The reality is that we must build apps that place the user and their experience at the center. Join this practical session to learn how you can exceed your users’ expectations with HP Anywhere apps built using Eclipse and the HPA Plugin. If you are an enterprise developer and need to support your internal users, then this session will help illustrate how you can create compelling, user centric apps.

10:30AM - 11:05AM	Evaluate Eclipse 4.x: Tips on API best practices for a 3.x plugin running on both platforms Paul Webster [IBM Canada] Eclipse 4.x: Tips on API best practices for a 3.x plugin running on both platforms Eclipse 4.x is based on the Eclipse4 technology and supports the 3.x workbench API through use of the compatibility layer. But some 3.x APIs are more architecturally compatible with Eclipse 4 than others. This talk will touch on 3.x API patterns that are similar to the Eclipse 4 APIs, with lessons learned from the consumption of 4.2 in Juno. Track: Eclipse 4 Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate DS, BP, EJB, CDI, WTF!? Graham Charters [IBM] DS, BP, EJB, CDI, WTF!? There are a number component models available to OSGi developers; Declarative Services (DS), Blueprint (BP), Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI). Some have their roots in Java EE, some in open source projects such as the Spring Framework, others are standards at the OSGi Alliance, and some have DNA from all three.

Yet ask any QA Director whose team has recently engaged in Agile projects how test automation is being leveraged, and you’re likely to see her close her eyes and wish herself somewhere else. It’s an understandable response. Since automated testing requires an investment in designing and developing the framework and scripts, the payout is usually highest when applied to mature (read: stable) applications – not exactly the typical state of an application in the second sprint.

Dave West , Laszlo Szalvay [CollabNet, Inc. ], Tom Grant , Ken Schwaber Panel: Agile and ALM – What does Agile mean to ALM ? For many in the Agile community software delivery tools are considered to be anti-Agile. Tools are thought of as getting in the way of successful software projects and reduce Agility. But tools are increasingly important for Agile success. ALM, the application of business management to the practice of software delivery is considered by many as a tools oriented approach to software delivery.

These supercomputers can perform over 10^15 floating point operations per second and a single simulation can produce anywhere from a few to hundreds or even a couple of thousand terabytes of data. Both the machines and the simulations require significant "care and feeding" to produce quality results which can be a very challenging endeavour for both the initiated and the uninitiated. Most of the work to run these simulations is done as it has always been done for decades: by working the shell! We will present an open-source, Eclipse-based "integrated computational environment" that helps users setup and run simulations on these machines and analyze their data data using the platform that we all know and love, in a seamless, intuitive way. We will discuss why the Eclipse Platform was chosen for this task and why it represents a revolutionary step in usability and productivity in the computational science community. We will share issues and challenges that we have faced with both the Rich Client (desktop) and Rich AJAX Platforms (web), tricks of the trade for building with Eclipse Tycho and the Eclipse Resources Plug-in and the component architecture of our OSGi bundles. We will also discuss the third party libraries that we have integrated for 3D graphics, data management, analysis and post-processing, including jMonkeyEngine, VisIt, HDF5 and Derby (via Eclipse Gemini). We will present the development environment, which is also Eclipsed-based, that is used by the developers for UML modeling, version control, code authoring and testing. Finally, sample simulations will be shared with the audience to demonstrate how the system works and the types of problem solving it enables for batteries, computational fluid dynamics, nuclear energy and quantum computing.

9:00AM - 9:30AM	Evaluate KEYNOTE: Nashorn, JavaScript for the JVM (Commonwealth Complex) Jim Laskey [Oracle] Nashorn, JavaScript for the JVM (Commonwealth Complex) The Nashorn JavaScript Project started as a quiet spin off from JavaFX in the fall of 2010. Since then, Nashorn has evolved into a significant part of Oracle's roadmap and is causing quite a bit of excitement in the OpenJDK community. This keynote will give the attendees some background on how the project evolved, information on how Nashorn works, how Nashorn ties in with Java development and what is planned for Nashorn in the future. The keynote will also touch on the Node.js Project and inter-language protocols via Dynalink. Track: EclipseRT Experience: Intermediate
9:30AM - 10:00AM	Evaluate KEYNOTE: Vert.x - Polyglot Asynchronous Applications for the JVM (Commonwealth Complex) Tim Fox [Red Hat] Vert.x - Polyglot Asynchronous Applications for the JVM (Commonwealth Complex) Tim started work on Vert.x in mid-2011 after being intrigued by the amount of interest in Node.js and realising that there was nothing similar for the JVM, and frankly, some things could be done better. The keynote will give you an overview of what Vert.x is and how you can use it to write powerful, modular, web or enterprise applications in Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Groovy or Python, or even mix and match multiple languages in a single application.

10:15AM - 10:50AM	Evaluate Xtended JavaFX Sven Efftinge [itemis], Thomas Schindl Xtended JavaFX Xtend is a statically typed programming language which translates to readable Java source code. It is open-source and developed at Eclipse.org. JavaFX is the new shiny way to develop desktop applications in Java. Track: DSL Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Using Koneki and Mihini for developing M2M applications in Lua Gaetan Morice [Sierra Wireless] Using Koneki and Mihini for developing M2M applications in Lua In order to make it really simple to develop Machine-to-Machine applications, projects Koneki and Mihini leverage the simplicity of the Lua programming language to provide developers with a powerful toolbox. Track: Mobile Development Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Lifecycle Integration – The secret sauce of ALM success Dave West Lifecycle Integration – The secret sauce of ALM success For many businesses software enables innovation, increased customer intimacy, and better decision making. This means that software delivery is transitioning from a support process to a key business process. One that embraces the speed that comes with developer autonomy while enabling the organization to manage an end-to-end lifecycle. Our new look at ALM offers a business process focus, allowing the practice of software delivery to be managed holistically, from business analysis to DevOps. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate OSGi and JavaScript Simon Kaegi [IBM Canada] OSGi and JavaScript One of the real surprises in my career has been the emergence of JavaScript as an increasingly reasonable choice as a systems language. In this talk I'll make the case that it's time for the OSGi community to gather and start looking at creating specifications for JavaScript based implementations. The Orion team started with an OSGi-insired MicroService architecture and in the past year has grown to also include a plugin architecture that is closely aligned with both OSGi bundle metadata and lifecycle concepts. Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Scrum: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Dan Mezick [New Technology Solutions Inc.] Scrum: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Scrum, Scrum, Scrum. Almost everyone doing agile says they are doing Scrum. But are they actually? Scrum is designed as a game. The Scrum Guide subtext says, and I Quote" "The Rules of the Game." Many of you have some experience with Scrum, and it may not be optimal. Why? Because any good game has a clear goal, clear rules, a clear way to track progress, and OPT-IN participation. It is this last item that is usually lacking in typical Scrum roll-outs. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Continuous APM: from IDE to Production (Presented by Compuware) Daniel Kaar [Compuware] Continuous APM: from IDE to Production (Presented by Compuware) Continuous APM from IDE to Production Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Creating Data Driven Web Apps with BIRT (Presented by Actuate) Michael Williams [Actuate] Creating Data Driven Web Apps with BIRT (Presented by Actuate) Why spend the time structuring and processing your data, only to turn around and present it in some boring format, like a list or table? Using BIRT to make your application’s data visualizations pop, is easier than you might think. This talk will focus on several different ways that you can integrate BIRT into your application, including running reports with the APIs, customizing the viewer, integrating the viewer into JSP and JSF, and more. Track: Web Development Experience: Intermediate
10:50AM - 11:00AM	Transition Time
11:00AM - 11:35AM	Evaluate This is Orion on Node Ken Walker [IBM Canada] This is Orion on Node Using only the Node package manager, learn how to deploy Orion into your Node installation and immediately use it for navigating, editing, testing and debugging your Node applications. This opens a world of opportunity for headless computers like the Raspberry Pi or even to navigate and edit projects locally on your own file system. This talk covers what it took to get the Orion server ported to Node.js, what you can do with it, and how you can extend or contribute to the project. Track: Web Development Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Xtext - More Best Practices Sebastian Zarnekow [itemis] Xtext - More Best Practices From small domain specific languages over newly designed, grown-up programming languages or 'just' IDE support for existing ones - the Eclipse Xtext framework can be applied to a variety of use cases. But even though language development became incredibly straight forward with Xtext, crafting a high quality IDE requires some fine-tuning at the right places. In this session I will outline more best practices with Xtext and language design in general. Track: DSL Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Stop throwing your doc away: Agile Documentation with Mylyn Intent Alex Lagarde [Obeo] Stop throwing your doc away: Agile Documentation with Mylyn Intent Documentation sucks because most of the time it's outdated: it never reflects the recent changes you made on your software, and sooner or later no one will trust (and hence read) it anymore. In result, you often have to throw it away and rewrite a new documentation almost from scratch. By providing tooling to efficiently update documentation when a change occurs (in your models, your code...), Mylyn Intent gives to your documents the abillity to react to changes, turning them into true Agile documents. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Apache Karaf in the Trenches Jamie Goodyear [Savoir Technologies] Apache Karaf in the Trenches Apache Karaf is a small, light weight server side OSGi runtime environment, that has been gaining in popularity in the Apache and OSGi community. The shift towards using OSGi environments has introduced new challenges to architects, developers, and operators in building and deploying these systems. In this session I will share some of my experiences in developing, deploying, and maintaining OSGi based software systems among Global 2000 companies targeting the Apache Karaf runtime environment. The talk will be broken down into three sections: Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Need for Speed – Win the SDLC race and stay alive, come learn about agile++ Raziel Need for Speed – Win the SDLC race and stay alive, come learn about agile++ In today’s reality we cannot afford any fat or unnecessary delays in our time to market neither afford any compromise on quality. Agile is no longer luxury but a necessity. However, agile has to evolve. It has been more than 10 years since the agile manifesto published. Enough time to revisit some of the practices, refine, enhance, and identify gaps. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate NASA uses Eclipse RCP applications for experiments on the International Space Station Tamar Cohen [NASA Ames Research Center] NASA uses Eclipse RCP applications for experiments on the International Space Station Eclipse is going to space in 2013! The International Space Station (ISS) is used as a site for experiments; any software developed as part of these experiments has to comply with extensive and strict user interface guidelines. NASA Ames Research Center's Intelligent Robotics Group is doing 2 sets of experiments, both with astronauts using Eclipse RCP applications to remotely control robots. One experiment will control SPHERES with an Android Smartphone on the ISS; the other experiment will control a K10 rover on Earth. Track: EclipseRT Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Rapid application development for Eclipse, browser and mobile simultaneously (Presented by OnPositive) Denis Denisenko [OnPositive], Pavel Petrochenko Rapid application development for Eclipse, browser and mobile simultaneously (Presented by OnPositive) In today’s day and age, having rich web application, desktop client and mobile client application is standard requirement for any business service. Developing representation layer and client business logic for each platform separately is a legacy approach becoming obsolete rapidly. Track: Tools Experience: Intermediate

11:45AM - 12:20PM	Evaluate Modern UIs with JavaFX, OSGi, and e4 and the tooling provided by e(fx)clipse Thomas Schindl Modern UIs with JavaFX, OSGi, and e4 and the tooling provided by e(fx)clipse Interested in a modern UI-Toolkit? If yes this session is for you! We'll start with introducing you to JavaFX and the tooling you get for your favorite IDE and afterwards take a deep dive into all runtime technologies you get from the e(fx)clipse project. Next we'll show you the integration into OSGi and how you can apply your e4 know-how to applications written with JavaFX instead of SWT. We'll introduce demo applications like: e4 multimedia app - showing animations, multi-media integration Track: Eclipse 4 Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate OSGi server runtimes - build, borrow or buy? Tim Ward [Zuhlke Engineering] OSGi server runtimes - build, borrow or buy? Enterprise OSGi is a new and growing area within enterprise software. The OSGi Enterprise specifications cover a wide range of useful technologies, and there are lots of implementations appearing across Eclipse, Apache and elsewhere. Obviously choice is a great thing, but the explosive growth of Enterprise OSGi has left many people confused about how to integrate these projects with each other. There are a number of different Enterprise OSGi platforms available. Eclipse Virgo, Apache Geronimo, Glassfish and WebSphere all support some form of Enterprise OSGi applications. But which solution should you choose, and why? What about projects like Apache Karaf, and products like the Paremus Service Fabric? Might it be better to build your own runtime solution from existing components? Track: OSGi DevCon Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Hudson as an effective Agile ALM Tool Winston Prakash [Oracle Corporation] Hudson as an effective Agile ALM Tool Continuous Integration, Test Driven Development and Continuous Delivery or Deployment are the primary supporting pillars of a successful Agile Development Team. In a Test Driven Development build pipeline, Continuous Integration is the first step and the end result is the Continuous Delivery. Hudson is a full fledged execution and scheduling engine. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Lessons Learned Writing the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse Zach Musgrave [Amazon Web Services], Jason Fulghum [Amazon Web Services] Lessons Learned Writing the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse Learn best practices for Eclipse plug-in development that took us years to figure out! The AWS Toolkit for Eclipse brings the AWS cloud to the Eclipse workbench, allowing developers to develop, debug, and deploy Java applications on the AWS platform. For three years, we've worked to integrate AWS services into your Eclipse development workflow. We started with a small seed of functionality for managing EC2 instances, and today support nine services and counting. We learned a lot on the way, and we'd like to share! Track: Tools Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Adopting Agile Methods and Open Source Tools in a Large Enterprise Manuel Vacelet [Enalean], Domenic Alessi [Ericsson] Adopting Agile Methods and Open Source Tools in a Large Enterprise Tuleap Open ALM is the first Enterprise Grade Open Source ALM. Born on the basis of venerable Sourceforge.net, it provides all ALM features (defect tracking, source control, documentation, communication, etc) with an special focus on traceability, configuration means and process management. Tuleap is technology and process agnostic. Tuleap helps organizations structure their way of working without settle down processes or tools in marble. With Tuleap, you propose a way of working to ease projects' bootstrap and then your teams can embrace them, modify them and spread them around. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Collaborative Modeling applied to avionic design: give wings to your team Matthieu Helleboid [Thales], Stephane Bonnet [Thales] Collaborative Modeling applied to avionic design: give wings to your team The facts: collaborating on models through a configuration management tool is a burden Using SCM (Software Configuration Management) tools to collaborate around models is a productivity killer: Diff/Merge of models is much more complex than diff/merge of code. Integrating every modification made by a member of a modeling team, via a manual merge operation, is cumbersome and error-prone; Track: Modeling Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Eclipse-testing.com: a free cloud service aggregating and running GUI tests for eclipse projects (Presented by Xored) Andrey Platov [Xored Software Inc], Jonas Helming [EclipseSource Munich], Ivan Inozemtsev [Xored] Eclipse-testing.com: a free cloud service aggregating and running GUI tests for eclipse projects (Presented by Xored) Join and see how EMF Client, EMF Compare, Tigerstripe, Eclipse DLTK, Eclipse LDT, and other Eclipse projects automate User Interface testing. This session will also introduce eclipse-testing.com, a free cloud service that aggregates and continuously run thousands of GUI tests from those projects as well as community created tests for Eclipse Platform, JDT, Egit, Papyrus, Java Workflow Tooling, and others.

12:20PM - 1:30PM	Lunch (Commonwealth Complex)
1:30PM - 2:05PM	Evaluate Bling: The GPU powered Game IDE Tony McCrary [l33t labs] Bling: The GPU powered Game IDE Bling IDE is a forthcoming game development toolset from l33t labs, built on the Eclipse 4 platform. Bling is the fusion of Eclipse with a set of rich game development plugins, which allow you to develop and design games within one powerful application. l33t labs LLC is a technology startup from the Detroit, Michigan region of the USA. Track: Eclipse 4 Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Automating the consumption of Eclipse for internal use Pascal Rapicault [Ericsson / Rapicorp], Emilio Palmiero [Ericsson] Automating the consumption of Eclipse for internal use Supporting a large user base implies catering to a lot of different needs. In Ericsson's case this means building over 20 different eclipse distributions and creating a corporate wide p2 repository to make it easy for our users to get all the plugins they need. To achieve the necessary customization of each eclipse distro with a high degree of automation, a wide variety of technologies has been used: product files, jenkins, tycho, jbehave, p2 tools, etc. In this talk, we give an overview of our semi-automated workflow, where each technology fits and give you our tips and tricks. Track: Tools Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Introduction to Continuous Delivery Graham Brooks [ThoughtWorks] Introduction to Continuous Delivery Continuous Delivery for many, has become the new norm for building and releasing software. For others the benefits of rapid return on investment and more reliable releases is still a dream. This introductory session will cover the major benefits of Continuous Delivery and some of the pitfalls to adoption. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate How to become an Eclipse committer and survive Denis Roy [Eclipse Foundation, Inc.], Wayne Beaton [The Eclipse Foundation] How to become an Eclipse committer and survive Becoming an Eclipse committer is hard work. Being an Eclipse committer is even harder -- one must understand and navigate the rigorous IP process, contend with a large IT infrastructure and mingle with hundreds of committers all fighting for the same resources. In this talk we'll attempt to humour you as we walk you through the process of becoming a committer and expose the incredible simplicity of being an Eclipse committer while occasionally talking about what is actually written on our slides. Track: Community Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Fuzzy Testing Maximilian Koegel [EclipseSource Munich], Edgar Mueller [EclipseSource Munich] Fuzzy Testing Many of the test cases for an application involve data defined by the data model. To achieve good test coverage it is customary to run the test cases for a variety of different input data sets. This can be achieved by manually specifying different input data. However, this is a complex task and it is easy to miss important input data and thereby miss bugs. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate {learnhowto: "tame the JavaScript Monster with #vjetjside"} Justin Early [Avantsoft] {learnhowto: "tame the JavaScript Monster with #vjetjside"} Do you have someone on the team who gets called about Js issues constantly? Do you wish there was better code assist which was scope appropriate? Do you have developers working with different versions of javascript frameworks? Do you have globals running rampid in your js code base? Do you have issues with dependencies between multiple js files? Do you have issues with jsdocs not reflecting actual usage? Do you have Java developers who can’t access your javascript api? Do you work with JavaScript applications? Track: Web Development Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate p2 in the Enterprise (Presented by eBay) David Dodd [eBay], Emac Shen [eBay Inc.] p2 in the Enterprise (Presented by eBay) Remember the good old days of the drop-ins folder in Eclipse to add additional tools to your Eclipse installation? eBay remembers them all to well. While the drop-ins folder made it easy to maintain individual installations of Eclipse, it was quite a challenge to maintain a large enterprise wide installed base, and keep them constantly updated, with this approach.

2:05PM - 2:15PM	Transition Time
2:15PM - 2:50PM	Evaluate Embracing Eclipse Orion Andrew Clement [VMware], Martin Lippert [VMware, Inc.] Embracing Eclipse Orion The Eclipse Orion project provides a platform for building browser-based development tooling. In this talk we will show how we re-used parts of Orion to build the Scripted code editor, an editor-centric and browser-based tool for JavaScript and web developers. We'll talk about the design decisions that led to creation of a new serverside architecture using Node.js and the challenges in getting the Orion code editor to work with it. We'll also look at how we build and maintain modules usable in Scripted and in Orion. Track: Web Development Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Eclipse/OSGi Puzzlers - Traps and Pitfalls Benjamin Muskalla [Tasktop], Holger Staudacher [EclipseSource] Eclipse/OSGi Puzzlers - Traps and Pitfalls Every API has its quirks. Based on the popular 'Java Puzzlers' talks by Joshua Bloch we will present the first Eclipse/OSGi Puzzles talk. What to expect? Traps and Pitfalls from the Eclipse and OSGi universe for you to participate. Besides the common pitfalls we will dive into well known Eclipse APIs and their quirks. Together we will investigate the ramifications of using these APIs. Come and see the dark side of Eclipse and OSGi. Track: Cool Stuff (Other) Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate You're Not Failing Fast Enough! - best practices for an agile build system Sarah Goff-Dupont [Atlassian] You're Not Failing Fast Enough! - best practices for an agile build system Too many developers have to wait 4, 6, even 24 hours to learn whether their latest change plays nicely with the rest of the code base. And untangling bugs introduced by other changes made in the meantime can take hours, which significantly arrests team velocity. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate What's new in RAP 2.0? Ralf Sternberg [EclipseSource] What's new in RAP 2.0? RAP is known as a platform for running Eclipse applications on the web. But with its brand new version 2.0, released in February 2013, the project broadens its scope and opens up for other types of clients. Track: EclipseRT Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Leveraging W3C Linked Data, OSLC, and Open Source for Loosely Coupled Application Integrations Steve Speicher [IBM Rational], Michael Fiedler [IBM Rational] Leveraging W3C Linked Data, OSLC, and Open Source for Loosely Coupled Application Integrations Tim Berners-Lee, credited as the inventor of the internet, defined a concept of linked data (HTTP + RDF) that defines how applications can use Web standards to build scalable applications that span a wide range of diverse technology backgrounds and datasources. This approach has been successfully used across industries such as life sciences, government, and software development (OSLC). This session gives some background on the current state of linked data and an update on standardization activity at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Buildroot Eclipse Bundle : A powerful IDE for Embedded Linux developers Mélanie Bats Buildroot Eclipse Bundle : A powerful IDE for Embedded Linux developers Buildroot is a tool designed by embedded Linux developers to build embedded Linux systems using cross-compilation. It allows to build a cross-compilation toolchain (or re-use an existing one), a root filesystem image with applications and libraries, a kernel image and a bootloader image or any combination of these. Buildroot is typically used to create the embedded Linux systems of industrial systems based on the ARM, PowerPC or x86 architectures, by integrating multiple existing open-source components (kernel, base components, graphical libraries, networking applications, etc.) and in-house components specific to the embedded system. Many of the early embedded Linux developers are used to work with text editors such as Emacs or Vi. However, in the recent years, the major expansion of the embedded Linux platform has attracted many more developers that are more familiar with feature-full, integrated, and user-friendly development environments. To fulfill this need, Eclipse provides an excellent platform, especially with extensions such as CDT, the Autotools plugin, the multiple plugins from the Linux tools project, the Target Communication Framework, and more. As many embedded Linux developers use Buildroot to build their system, it sounded natural to provide an easy-to-use integration with Eclipse. To achieve that, we: Developed an Eclipse plugin that automatically registers the available Buildroot toolchains into Eclipse CDT. This allows application developers to transparently build their application, and then execute it and debug it on the embedded target platform directly within Eclipse. Improved the pkg-config plugin for a better integration with different toolchains. Created a specialized Eclipse version bundling all the useful existing plug-ins for embedded Linux developers: Eclipse CDT, our specialized Buildroot plugin, the latest remote debugging mechanisms, the Autotools plugin, Linux Tools plugins, etc. Track: Tools Experience: Beginner	Evaluate Using the cloud to develop and test on-premise applications (Presented by Ravello) Geert Jansen [Ravello Systems] Using the cloud to develop and test on-premise applications (Presented by Ravello) A lot of enterprises face internal capacity constraints around development and test resources. As a result, developers end up sharing environments, not testing enough and projects get delayed. Ideally,they would be able to use the public cloud to augment their internal capacity. However,the public cloud is a completely different environment, so its difficult to develop in the cloud and deploy back on-prem. Now there is a new way - Ravello allows developers, Devops or IT to create exact replicas of the on-premise production application in the cloud for development and test.

2:50PM - 3:00PM	Transition Time
3:00PM - 3:35PM	Evaluate GEF4 - (Continue to) Share and Enjoy... Alexander Nyssen [itemis AG] GEF4 - (Continue to) Share and Enjoy... Dead wood needs to be cut out. And GEF definitely has some: an organically evolved API, a no longer adequate modularization (partly because of e4), a tight corset of API compatibility restrictions. To modernize GEF, an initiative - GEF4 - has been brought into being about a year ago (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF/GEF4). Plans were to develop a new geometry API as a nucleus in the Juno release timeframe, and to port the remaining parts of Draw2d and GEF 3.x as well as Zest 2.x to it afterwards. Track: Tools Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Equinox: Improving and Evolving the Core Framework Thomas Watson [IBM] Equinox: Improving and Evolving the Core Framework The Equinox OSGi Framework implementation has provided the core modularity runtime used by Eclipse for 9 releases and the reference implementation of the OSGi Framework for the past 5 OSGi specification releases. Needless to say the evolution of the code has not always gone as planned. Many times the OSGi expert groups would go down one design path while we prototyped the idea in Equinox and then the OSGi expert groups would change the design later, sometimes in drastic ways. This would force us to re-implement the design on short notice, often late in the release cycle. Track: EclipseRT Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Beyond Gerrit: Performing Rich Reviews with Eclipse Mylyn Miles Parker [Tasktop Technologies, Inc.], Sebastien Dubois [Ericsson] Beyond Gerrit: Performing Rich Reviews with Eclipse Mylyn Peer Code Reviews methodologies in general, and Gerrit in particular, have led a profound shift in the way we develop software. With the rapid acceptance of code reviews as an integral part of both Open-Source and closed development process, it's not a question of whether you want to perform them or not -- you don't have a choice! But while the current open source review tools are well thought out and tightly integrated into OSS workflow -- they are also limited, inflexible, and missing features that enterprises need. But more importantly, they aren't very much fun to use. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Beginner	Evaluate EMF Community, time for moving on Eclipse4 thanks to the Extended Editing Framework 2.0! Goulwen Le Fur [Obeo] EMF Community, time for moving on Eclipse4 thanks to the Extended Editing Framework 2.0! Since Juno, Eclipse4 is the default platform for the Eclipse Community. It's time for the project to think about migrating on this new base. This year, the Extended Editing Framework (EEF) project will propose its new stream 2.0. Among the new abilities of this version, the ease of creating modeling applications based on Eclipse4 will be a major feature for the Eclipse community. Track: Modeling Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Visual Requirements Management and Decomposition with Kanban Mahesh Singh [Digite, Inc.] Visual Requirements Management and Decomposition with Kanban Agile teams do a great job working on User Stories in each Iteration or Release and delivering them all - well mostly! - using the typical Scrum Story Board or even a Kanban Board. However, there is a lot of upstream effort that goes in, typically at higher levels of abstraction, with longer cadences and involving multiple stake-holders. Most organizations and teams have not yet understood the criticality of managing this upstream work well, nor the effort that needs to be put in so that the Dev board is continually supplied with User Stories at the right time. Track: ALM Connect Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Business Process Modeling, UI Mashups and Web Application Integration with Orion and Stardust Marc Gille [SunGard] Business Process Modeling, UI Mashups and Web Application Integration with Orion and Stardust The session will introduce the browser-based BPMN2 Editor of the Stardust Project and demonstrate how business process modeling, development of web screens for interactive process steps, integration of Web Services and deployment into a BPM runtime environment can be performed with and from Orion. Track: Web Development Experience: Intermediate	Evaluate Eclipse Development with Windows Azure (Presented by Microsoft) Brian Benz [Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc. ] Eclipse Development with Windows Azure (Presented by Microsoft) In this session we’ll show you how to code in the cloud, for the cloud with Eclipse.
