DemoCamp Mars in Stuttgart: Great People, Talks, and Food

We had a nice DemoCamp in Stuttgart for Eclipse Mars Release train. About 50 people had a great time alongside great food.

The full agenda, including links to all slides, can be found in the Eclipse Wiki.

The first talk by Matthias Zimmermann showed the Business Application Framework Scout, especially the new features of Mars and the upcoming next release.

Afterwards, Martin Schreiber presented their experience with Tycho and some practical solutions.

Jinying Yu gave an overview of the CloudScale project. It analyzes, estimates and simulates the scalability of a software system, especially for moving it to a cloud service.

After some refreshments and discussions during the break, Marco Eilers impressed with an Xtend interpreter, including tracing between the input model of a transformation and the resulting model or text – in both directions!

The next talk by Miro Spönemann showed the current state of Xtext on the Web and in IntelliJ. As Miro is the lead developer of the Web variant, he could easily answer all questions in-depth.

Finally, Harald Mackamul gave an overview of the APP4MC project. They extend the findings of Amalthea project to multi- and many-core systems.

We finished the DemoCamp with more discussions, food, and beer.

I’d like to thank all the great speakers and the attendees for making this DemoCamp fun as ever.
