Call for Participation: 2nd Biannual Symposium on Eclipse Open Source Software & OMG Open Specifications

Wed, Feb 03, 2010 16:57:00 EST

Needham, MA, USA and Ottawa, ON, Canada - February 3, 2010 - OMG™ and the Eclipse Foundation have issued a Call for Participation for the 2nd Biannual Symposium on Eclipse Open Source Software and OMG Open Specifications to be held June 23, 2010 in Minneapolis, Minn., USA. The submission deadline is February 24. For more information visit http://www.omg.org/eclipse-cfp.

Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. Many Eclipse projects implement one or more OMG specifications. This symposium follows two successful one-day events that Eclipse and OMG jointly organized in 2008 to promote and build on the partnership between Eclipse's open source software and OMG's open specifications. It will include a series of discussion sessions on OMG standards and corresponding Eclipse projects, to facilitate alignment between current specifications and implemented software, and identify areas where the cooperation could be further improved in future.

Eclipse Foundation and OMG invite position papers on any of the topic areas below, or any other area where an OMG specification relates to Eclipse software. The Program Committee will publish all submitted position papers, and invite selected paper authors to lead individual discussion sessions.

Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:

Extensibility of specifications and/or open source implementations to support

Conformant commercial implementations
New application domains
New requirements

Processes for evolving specifications and/or open source implementations
Open source implementations for specifications
Standardized models or interfaces for open source implementations
Collaboration between open source implementations

The Program Committee particularly welcomes papers that deal with specific problems and solutions that may benefit from a wider discussion than that available though Eclipse Bug Reports or OMG Issue reporting.

Interested individuals or organizations are invited to submit a brief (up to 600 words) position paper by February 24, 2010 using this web form (please select "Presentation"): http://www.omg.org/abstracts.

The Program Committee will send invitations to prospective session leaders in early March 2010. The final symposium agenda and registration details will be available on March 17, 2010 and posted at: http://www.omg.org/news/meetings/tc/mn/special-events/Eclipse.htm.

Eclipse Pulsar Gains Momentum with Mobile Industry Leaders

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:30:00 EST

New release of Pulsar adds support for Ericsson and Sony Ericsson

CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment - SAN DIEGO, Calif. - October 7, 2009 - The Eclipse Foundation today announced a new release of Eclipse Pulsar, an application development tools platform for mobile developers. The new release extends support to the Ericsson and Sony Ericsson developer communities.

Pulsar is the result of collaboration among leaders in the mobile industry to provide a common set of Eclipse-based tools in a single packaged distribution that supports multiple software development kits (SDKs). With Pulsar, developers can use a single, familiar development environment to create mobile applications that target different devices. With today's release, Pulsar now supports SDKs from Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson and Sony Ericsson.

"Ericsson is a longtime Eclipse member, and participating in the Pulsar initiative aligns with our business goals," said Roland Svensson, Vice President, Portfolio Management and Technology at Ericsson. "We believe Pulsar has the potential to make it easier for mobile developers to gain access to the tools and SDKs they require."

Stefan Qelthin, Head of SW Environment for Sony Ericsson, also noted: "Pulsar brings together a common tools platform that allows participating handset makers to focus on providing value added tools for their developer communities. Sony Ericsson is pleased to be part of this industry initiative and hope it will help fuel a broader ecosystem of mobile apps and opportunities for the developer."

Members of the Pulsar initiative aim to work across four key areas:

The creation of the packaged distribution called Eclipse Pulsar Platform;
A technical roadmap to advance the capabilities of the platform;
A set of best practices which includes documentation and test suites; and
Education and outreach to drive adoption of Pulsar with mobile application developers.

"Pulsar is delivering on its promise to streamline the development of mobile applications, arguably the hottest growth area in the mobile market today," noted Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director, Eclipse Foundation. "Pulsar is also a great example of how Eclipse continues to be a platform for collaboration. We are pleased that Ericsson and Sony Ericsson have joined Motorola and Nokia in Pulsar, and look forward to their contributions to making Pulsar a truly definitive mobile application development tools platform."

The new Pulsar release is available immediately for download at http://www.eclipse.org/pulsar/. Eclipse and Pulsar leaders will be at the WIPJAM on October 8 during CTIA. Register at http://wipjam.com/wipjam-ctia/.

Sun, 27 Nov 2005 07:17:32 EST

Thursday, December 8, 2005, 11:00 am PT/2:00 pm ET, Duration: 60 minutes

Overview
For nearly two decades, Erich Gamma has been at the forefront of innovation in software development. Perhaps best known as the co-author of the landmark book "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software", Dr. Gamma is also the developer, with Kent Beck, of JUnit, the de facto standard in terms of unit testing tools for Java. He leads the Eclipse Java Development tools project and is a member of the Eclipse and the Eclipse Tools project management committees. Dr. Gamma is currently a Distinguished Engineer working for IBM Rational Software in Zurich, Switzerland.

In this wide-ranging interview, Dr. Gamma sits down with Jonathan Erickson, Editorial Director of CMP Media's Software Development Group, to discuss topics such as:

- Learn how to balance cost reduction against its impact on customer loyalty.
- What was IBM's motivation in initially launching the Eclipse project?
- Where will Eclipse go from here?
- What are the challenges--and benefits--of Open Source software development?
And more!
