I will do a presentation of Elastic Grid at Profict Java Spring Camp in June, 19th. The two hours time-slot will give way more time than usually so I will be able demonstrate some few deployments made on EC2.
Feel free to join nearby Amsterdam and enjoy at the same time a beautiful place with a barbecue at the end of the day.
Dennis Reedy will do a joint-presentation with one of our customers, Ronald Bowers, working for the Army Research Lab, during JavaOne 09. This BoF is schedule on Wednesday, June, 3rd at 7:45pm.
Here is the abstract of the session called Cloud Computing and NetBeans™ IDE Enable Army Research Lab’s Next-Generation Simulation System
This presentation provides an overview of how the Army Research Laboratory’s (ARL’s) MUVES 3 project is using cloud computing and the NetBeans™ IDE rich-client platform (RCP). It reviews the MUVES 3 architecture, along with the Java™ technologies that are used to develop it. The session also shows how the combination of a NetBeans IDE RCP client application with a dynamic, service-oriented architecture (SOA) back end can be used to construct sophisticated, high-performance environments. It also discusses the MUVES 3 team’s experiences in performing continuous integration by using Hudson and testing the system on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud with Elastic Grid.
ARL analyzes combat system survivability and munition lethality against enemy systems. The goal of the MUVES 3 project is to develop an integrated environment to support this analysis mission. On the server side, the MUVES 3 system must be capable of executing concurrent simulation jobs, supporting a large analyst community. Although national security concerns prohibit running an actual MUVES 3 analysis on the cloud, the system architecture can be tested on it. This enables ARL to test MUVES 3 and evaluate system performance, scalability, and fault tolerance across numerous computers cost-effectively. The NetBeans IDE RCP provides the framework on which the MUVES 3 user interfaces are built. It is used both as a client platform to the cloud and as a client to the massively scalable simulation system.
The support for the Amazon FPS API in Typica has been updated in Subversion a few days ago. The support for this API should be available anytime soon within the next release of Typica.
As the FPS API is quite rich and offer lots of different use, feedback is critical in order to test and qualify properly the added support.
Cloud Computing providers allow a fantastic way to deploy scalable machine images easily and on demand. However, there is a finer grain of scalability that must be provided, allowing individual application assets to easily scale to meet the demands of a running system. Our session discusses the Elastic Grid, an approach that provides dynamic allocation, management and scalability of applications through the cloud.
Intrinsic to the Elastic Grid are a set of dynamic capabilities and reliance on Policy-based and Quality of Service mechanisms that extend capabilities currently found in available cloud computing technologies.
Being able to inject rules & policies into cloud focused infrastructure allows greater automation, scalability and controlled behavior. Ultimately, cloud based deployments can provide advanced capabilities surrounding self-healing, self optimization & self configuration. The Elastic Grid provides an approach using a cloud focused Domain Specific Language to declaratively include behavior as SLA policy declarations.
Discover how to easily deploy your Java applications (but not only!) on the Cloud (especially Amazon EC2) during this BoF with both an introduction to how Elastic Grid ease deployments, a real demo done live and some feedback from real uses cases.
The slides used for Devoxx have changed a lot from the ones we used to use for the past events. The demonstration was also different (no more video conversion demo but instead a Spring dm Server deployment). We will do our best to provide soon a screencast of the demo we did so that you can get an idea of what we did during the BoF.
Thanks for all of you who could come. We had some really interesting discussions after the talk. Devoxx is really a good place where to be in. Lots of interesting talks and really good opportunity for networking. It’s always a pleasure to put a face on a name.
