Connected car as your IoT device This session will give you an overview on how to build your connected car (or motorbike), starting from the introduction of the opensource hardware available today on the market, that can be integrated easily in existing car, going through the process to build your IoT platform. The session will describe the implementation of the use cases of Vehicle management, predictive maintenance, mobility management and safety. describing the options available today and the challenges, keeping all that secure (or at least to try do it).

The Internet of Things with the explosion of sensor adds a lot of challenges in how to deal with all of these simultaneously connected devices producing lots of data to be retrieved, actors have delivery guarantees and isolation properties that are perfect for the IoT world. The session will show how to implement an actor base home automation system.

The actor model with the characteristics of elastic and decentralized by design, is the perfect solution for IOT environment. With actor is possible to create a simple concurrency and distributed system that react on the events. The talk will give an overview on the existing technologies and implementation, it will show also the experience of build an home automation system with an actor model with the description of the challenges and the solution adopted.

RestFS is an experimental project to develop an open-source distributed filesystem for large environments. It is designed to scale up from a single server to thousand of nodes and delivering a high-availability storage system with special features for high i/o performance and network optimisation for work better in WAN environment. The Project is on the beginning stage, with some technology previews released.

The Restfs is pure-python, but several of the libraries that it depends upon use C extensions (sometimes for speed, sometimes to interface to pre-existing C libraries). The main characteristics of the RestFS are :

• Scalability, no limits on storage and clients size
• High availability, no single point of failure and data replication
• Adaptive, load balancing and uniform distribution
• High Performance, parallel transfer, local cache consistency , data transfer by difference
• Flexible, S3 compatibility interface, dedicated library for integration in web server and application layer

This talk describes the architecture, internals of RestFS and comparison among different free software solutions. The session will discuss our experience in this development and detailed information on performance and scalability
