FedCSIS a yearly international multi-conference organized by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in cooperation with the IEEE Region 8, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, European Alliance for Innovation, Lodz ACM Chapter, Polish Operational and Systems Research Society - POSRS, Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, Mazovia Cluster ICT (further technical collaborations will be announced shortly). The field of agent technology is rapidly maturing. One of key factors that influence this process is the gathered body of knowledge that allows in-depth reflection on the very nature of designing and implementing agent systems. As a result, there is now significant knowledge on how to design and implement them. There is also a deeper understanding of the most important issues to be addressed in the process. Therefore, on the top-most level a progress in development of methodologies for design of agent-based systems can be seen. Furthermore, these methodologies are usually supported by tools that allow not only top level conceptualization but guide the process towards implementation (e.g. by generating at least some code). Next, it can seen that new languages for agent based systems are created, e.g. AML or API Calculus. Separately, tools/platforms/environments that can be used for design and implementation of agent systems have been through a number of releases, eliminating problems and adding new, important features. Resulting products are becoming truly robust and flexible. Furthermore, open source products (e.g. JADE) are surrounded by user communities, which often generate powerful add-on components, further increasing value of existing solutions. TOPICS ======================================= The Workshop primarily focuses on all aspects of the process that leads from the model of the problem domain to the actual agent-based solution. These aspects will cover both principled approaches and established practices of software engineering aimed at producing high quality software. In this context, research into the application of agent-based solutions to key challenges faced by software engineering (e.g. reduction of costs and delivery times, coping with a larger diversity of problems) will be of primary importance. ABC:MI Workshop welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of software agent engineering. Topics include but are not limited to: - Methodologies for design of agent systems - Multi-agent systems product lines - Modeling agent systems - Agent architectures - Agent-based simulations - Simulating and verifying agent systems - Agent benchmarking and performance measurement - Agent communication, coordination and cooperation - Agent languages - Agent learning and planning - Agent mobility - Agent modeling, calculi, and logic - Agent security - Agents and Service Oriented Computing - Agents in the Semantic Web - Applications and Experiences PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ======================================= Papers should be submitted by April 24, 2015. Preprints will be published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS participants. Only papers presented during the conference will be submitted to the IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital Library. Furthermore, proceedings, published in a volume with ISBN and ISSN numbers will posted at the conference WWW site.

ovirt-engine-sdk session authentication
by Tony James 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

Does ovirt-engine-sdk support session authentication to avoid using a username and password? It appears this functionality was added to ovirt-engine-sdk-java [1]. [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/12818/

UI Plugin to Upload ISO Files
by Tony James 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

This message is in response to an earlier thread regarding a UI plugin to upload ISO files. Like the original poster, Lucas, I began work on a UI plugin to allow uploading ISO files through a UI plugin. After reading the previous thread I'm re-thinking the architecture. It was suggested that the recommended approach to upload files to a storage domain is through the VDSM API [1]. I'm pretty familiar with the oVirt REST API but have been unable to find documentation regarding accessing the VDSM API. Should the VDSM API be accessible by a UI plugin? If so, is there documentation available to do so? [1] http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/devel/2014-December/009497.html -Tony

SubnodeConfiguration, HierarchicalConfiguration and Checkstyle
by Yedidyah Bar David 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Hi all, I started looking at building the engine using xmvn [1], see also [2] [3] if interested. The core of this project is to stop bundling modules we get from maven during build, and instead use ones packaged by the distribution (fedora or rhel for now). This will require, among other things, to adapt our existing code that uses such modules, to their versions as packaged by the distro. On first attempt I failed, due to currently using commons-configuration 1.6 where fedora 20 (where I do this) ships 1.9. If I change the pom to use 1.9, the build fails on the line: List<SubnodeConfiguration> configurationsAt = config.configurationsAt("/*/" + ALTERNATE_KEY); in backend/manager/tools/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/config/EngineConfigLogic.java, saying they are of incompatible types. I tried a bit changing stuff there, and current status is that Checkstyle fails, with my current draft patch [4]. I'd appreciate some experienced Java developer to give this a look and advice on how to proceed. Thanks! I guess the other option is to Conflict (in the spec file) with the package shipped in fedora, and either bundle 1.6 as we do now or package it on the ovirt repo. I'd rather not go that route for now.

Bump to 3.6 default cluster version
by Lior Vernia 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Hello, Could we add the 3.6 version on master and change that to the default DC/cluster version? Some features are already merged, so they could be used and bugs could be found earlier by people working on master (mostly us developers I guess) once the version is bumped. I saw 6199b29506253eeae9712afea71a3641727de71b for 3.5 - however, I'm not sure I understand the logic behind what config values need to be added for old features to work, so I'd prefer not to be the one sending the patch. Yours, Lior.
