Using Open SDN to Share Big Data from Large Hadron Collider

The world’s biggest machine—the Large Hadron Collider—is used to make new discoveries about how our universe evolves. It outputs petabytes of data, shared with a global network of researchers in search of the Higgs Boson, extra dimensions, supersymmetry, and dark matter. Data sharing is being enabled by a highly intelligent Software-Defined Network (SDN) built with open source, including OpenDaylight and Linux. We spoke with the high-energy physics team at California Institute of Technology to understand the tech behind the LHC. Not only will their work have implications for science, but also for any enterprise, telco, or service provider faced with ever-increasing data volumes.

Improving Drone Flight Safety Through Machine Learning

The safe operation of drones (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) requires a large base of knowledge about the aircraft itself, the aircraft mission, the environment within which you operate, and the support structures available to you. Hobbyists, owner operators, and small businesses are unable to take advantage of some of the benefits offered by SMS (Safety Management Systems) and FOQA (Flight Operations Quality Assurance) programs in use by large aerospace companies to improve safety, reduce operational cost, and improve life health management. This study looks at the use of an artificial immune system to process flight data and provide analysis and a framework within which to interpret results to help operators improve their flying.

Making Open Source Robotics Approachable: The Future is Now! - James Ketrenos

Robots and multi-rotor coptors have made their way into our lives. Whether it's a robotic vacuum cleaner or a first-person-view quad-copter racing through trees, today's devices are the toys we always dreamed of having as kids. Computational performance, power utilization, thermals, and weight have all reached a tipping point where we can now feasibly build and deploy intelligent robotic devices to improve our lives: they can now see, hear, and interact with the world.

Full Sail Ahead: What's Next For Container Technology - Marianna Tessel, Docker

While virtualization technologies have been around for some time, it is only in the last two years that containers have taken the development world by storm. Ideal for application portability, containers became the tool of choice for organizations transitioning to next generation of distributed applications. This presentation takes a look at the evolution of containers and what’s next for this technology and the incredibly diverse Docker container ecosystem.
