Subject: [Edge-computing] Shanghai Forum and PTG preparation
Message-ID: <62FC5493-C5BC-4883-AFBC-388F9865142F@openstack.org>

Hi,

As we are getting closer to the Open Infrastructure Summit and PTG in Shanghai we need to start our preparation to the Forum and PTG.

The Forum submission period is September 2-16. I created an etherpad for ideas to submit as session proposals for the edge group: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/PVG-ECG-forum-brainstorming

We also requested a day for the PTG. I created another etherpad to put together an agenda for the event as well as plan ahead to have cross-project sessions so we can reach out to the projects and organize the slots with them: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/PVG-ECG-PTG

Please add your ideas or comments to the above etherpads so we can consider all aspects before submitting Forum session ideas as well as putting together the agenda for the PTG.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ildikó

Hi,

I hope you had a great Summer and ready to dive back into edge computing with some new energy! :)

We have three potential days for September based on the Doodle poll: September 6, 9, 13 and we are using the same etherpad for tracking and ideas: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osf-edge-hacking-days

As a reminder, the Edge Hacking Days initiative is a remote gathering to work on edge computing related items, such as the reference architecture work or feature development or bug fixing items in relevant OpenStack services. 

__Please sign up on the etherpad for the days when you are available with time slots (including your time zone) when you are planning to be around if you’re interested in joining.__

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ildikó

Message-ID: <4BA957D6-80E6-44FC-9B0F-09521F84679F@openstack.org>

Hi,

I’m reaching out to you as I got asked if we have people in our working group who would be interested in writing up writing a practical "Edge Tutorial” or two for the large German magazine iX (Heise-Verlag).

The request has the following parameters:
* Target group: interested community with strong IT background
* Target focus: practical guide to use Edge Computing related frameworks (maybe an example regarding distributed edge intelligence)
* Size: 2-6 pages with 6000 to 7000 characters each (incl. spaces) and code snippets. Figures would count for around 500 characters.
* Timing: 
   * Tutorial 1: beginning of October
   * Tutorial 2: beginning of November

As the articles will be published in a German paper they either need to be written in German or need to be translated.

__As we have a very tough timeline, please reach out to me if you are interested in participating ASAP.__

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Ildikó

Hi,

Does edge computing means putting many nodes in different edge IDCs, 
like what CDN does?
Or it means to expand computing capability using user's mobile devices, 
IoT devices etc?

Thanks.

Hi Wesley,

Edge computing is a computing paradigm, which process data on the edge of
the network. Say, for example, video cameras generating video frame data,
instead of sending the video frames to the cloud for analysis, it can be
processed using a small form factor computer attached directly to the
camera. This computer is located on-premise where the camera is installed.

Content caching close to data consumption can also benefit from the edge
computing paradigm.

Expanding computing capabilities using mobile devices is also edge
computing.

IoT applications can leverages the edge computing paradigm.

Thanks

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider contributing to the 1st ACM CoNEXT Workshop on Emerging in-Network Computing Paradigms (ENCP’19) to be held on 9 December 2019; Orlando, FL, USA.
Workshop links: https://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2019/#!/workshop-encp <https://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2019/#!/workshop-encp>, http://www.cs.umsl.edu/~encp19/ <http://www.cs.umsl.edu/~encp19/>


Scope and Topic List

The integration of computing and networking is considered a promising direction to fulfill the strict low latency and high data exchange requirements of a number of new and innovative application use-cases (e.g., augmented/virtual reality, autonomous driving, drone coverage).

Hello all,

Just a reminder that there are some resources already listed in this 
document (section 4):

https://docs.openstack.org/developer/performance-docs/

It looks like the list is not updated. We might also include the specs 
from packet.
Concerning the subsection 4.3, available resources are provided under a 
open access program allowing external users to get an account on that 
platform. You can see the details in the following link and check how it 
fits to the test expected environment setup.

https://docs.openstack.org/developer/performance-docs/labs/grid5000.html

Best,

(Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this email)

The paper submission deadline was extended to accommodate the extension requests received from several authors.

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider contributing to the 1st ACM CoNEXT Workshop on Emerging in-Network Computing Paradigms (ENCP’19) to be held on 9 December 2019; Orlando, FL, USA.
Workshop links: http://www.cs.umsl.edu/~encp19/ <https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http:%2F%2Fwww.cs.umsl.edu%2F~encp19%2F&data=01%7C01%7Ctourani%40nmsu.edu%7Ceefa15df43064c22258a08d73c9bfd6e%7Ca3ec87a89fb84158ba8ff11bace1ebaa%7C1&sdata=N5x6tnpS%2Fxk4SNEAfLIexaqH7dZE4k68GGMcCrZ4Y6k%3D&reserved=0> , https://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2019/#!/workshop-encp <https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconferences2.sigcomm.org%2Fco-next%2F2019%2F%23!%2Fworkshop-encp&data=01%7C01%7Ctourani%40nmsu.edu%7Ceefa15df43064c22258a08d73c9bfd6e%7Ca3ec87a89fb84158ba8ff11bace1ebaa%7C1&sdata=QBi47gkIplpQwHxOW95TrH0%2F5XnTkGo1nD1SWloff8w%3D&reserved=0>

Scope and Topic List

The integration of computing and networking is considered a promising direction to fulfill the strict low latency and high data exchange requirements of a number of new and innovative application use-cases (e.g., augmented/virtual reality, autonomous driving, drone coverage). Context-aware networking can help maximize the compute utilization at the edge increasing the network capacity.  For instance, network functions may enable intelligent distribution of tasks to resources, the reuse of results from previously executed tasks, adaptability to the dynamic nature of edge ecosystems (e.g., network dynamics, bursty rates of tasks, dynamic resource availability).
The ENCP workshop has the integration of networking and computing as the central theme with a focus on mechanisms for the joint optimization of networking and computing resources, infrastructure virtualization, in-network caching, compute reuse, and security and privacy concerns.

The ENCP workshop has the goal of serving as a venue, where minds from the Distributed Computing, Information-Centric Networking (ICN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Edge Computing communities meet to advance the state-of-the-art in the area of systems for In-Network Computing. The workshop welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, who explore challenges and advances in architectures, algorithms, protocols, middleware, and technologies in the current or the future clean-slate Internet. We also encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe original ideas, present new directions, or have the potential to stimulate insightful discussions. ENCP invites submissions of unpublished work on the following topics (but not limited to):

        • Architectures of in-network computing
        • In-network caching solutions
        • Virtualization for in-network computing systems
        • Network Function Virtualization (NFV) for in-network computing
        • Security, privacy, trust management, and access control in in-network computing architectures
        • Information-Centric Networking (ICN) for in-network computing
        • Software-Defined Networking for in-network computing
        • In-network computing for challenged networks (e.g., disaster scenarios)
        • Deployment and interoperability with traditional network architectures/functions
        • Network slicing for in-network computing systems
        • Internet of Things (IoT) for in-network computing
        • Pricing and billing in in-network computing systems
        • Highly available in-network computing systems
        • Management of in-network computing systems
        • In-network computing in the era of 5G
        • Scalability, performance advancements, and fault-tolerance
        • Tools for troubleshooting, monitoring, and validation of in-network computing systems and architectures
        • Innovative applications that in-network computing enables
        • In-network computing in public and private clouds, as well as edge computing paradigms
        • Resource allocation, modeling, and analysis
        • Applications of machine learning to in-network computing
        • Microservice architectures
        • Distributed consensus algorithms
        • Data processing frameworks

Important dates

Paper submission deadline: September 23, 2019 (11:59PM EDT)
Acceptance notification: October 10, 2019
Camera-ready deadline: October 17, 2019
Workshop date: December 9, 2019

Submission details
The workshop solicits papers written in the standard (2-column, 10pt ACM format). All the submissions will be double-blind and will be peer-reviewed. Per the anonymity guide, authors must remove their own names and any other information that may identify themselves to the reviewers. Submissions should be no more than 6 pages (including references, appendix, and all figures). The submission links will be announced shortly.

Message-ID: <50AFE62C-6D44-42CF-B59C-23A026250064@openstack.org>

Hi,

First of all thanks to all of you who signed up to be an author for our second whitepaper.

We have 12 volunteers so far which means that I think we have reached the limits of a group size with which we can effectively work on the paper. With that said if you are just catching up and would like to participate please reach out to me or reply to this thread to see how we can still have you involved.

You can find details and current plans on this etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osf-ecg-second-whitepaper

We plan our next call for next Monday (September 23) at 1300 UTC, further details are on the etherpad.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ildikó

Subject: [ironic] FFE: Add idrac HW type Redfish virtual media boot interface

Hi,

I request a late feature freeze exception (FFE) for https://review.opendev.org/#/c/672498/ -- "Add Redfish vmedia boot interface to idrac HW type". There is high demand from operators for this feature. They would be delighted if it were included in Train.

We believe it is a low risk change, because of the following:

1) It affects only the idrac hardware type.
2) The highest priority boot interfaces supported by the idrac hardware type remain so. 'ipxe' and 'pxe' continue to have the highest priority, and the new 'idrac-redfish-virtual-media' has the lowest priority. The new order from highest to lowest priority is 'ipxe', 'pxe', and 'idrac-redfish-virtual-media'.
3) The new interface is based on and almost entirely leverages an already merged interface implementation, 'redfish-virtual-media'. [1]

Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions. Thank you for your consideration.

Rick
