Hi, below, I send my talk proposal for the FOSDEM 2018 Free Java Dev Room: ----------------- Title: Packet Capturing with the JVM and Clojure - Yes, we can! Abstract: In this talk, it will be shown that packet capturing with the JVM and Clojure works fast, how it is made fast, and that Clojure and the JVM offer amazing capabilities for processing stream and batch data. Following a bottom-up approach, the covered topics include: - integration of low-level packet capturing with the JVM via JNI, - acceleration of packet capturing with the JVM up to the magnitude of 10 GBit/s speed, - a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for easing the extraction of information from raw binary data, - a self-adaptive mechanism for automatically adjusting data processing at run-time, - and using the Clojure-based DSL for improving the import of packet capturing data in Eclipse Trace Compass. The talk will provide an overview of the covered topics. More details were published in various peer-reviewed conferences and workshops, the speakers PhD thesis, and as Open Source Software (See, e.g.: https://ruedigergad.com/publications/). While this talk focuses on packet capturing, the presented topics can also be applied to other application domains.

He works as Project Manager R&D at Terma GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany in the field of space ground systems. He received a PhD degree (sobresaliente cum laude - best grade with honors) in computer science from the University of Cádiz, Spain, and regularly publishes his evaluation and research prototypes as OSS. He spoke at various academic conferences and workshops in scope of the technical program and in keynotes. His research interests include Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), Message-oriented Middleware (MoM), Complex Event Processing (CEP), computer networks, and software development and engineering.

The adjustments primarily concern the reduction of Clojure implementation details and the addition of the Clojure-based DSL packet capture data import for Eclipse Trace Compass. ----------------- If you have questions, comments, etc. please let me know. Thank you and cheers, Ruediger
