Talk Proposal: Ji Gong: Proposal for High Availability JVM Technology on All Platforms

Title:
Ji Gong: Proposal for High Availability JVM Technology on All Platforms

Abstract:
Ji Gong project focuses on empowering JVM technology and guaranteeing its
availability.
Ji Gong discusses how to deploy a minimal efficient JVM on all platforms
including web browsers on mobile devices.
Ji Gong re-purpose and utilizes existing work, e.g. IcedTea-web, OpenJDK 8
and FOSS JVM implementations such as JamVM.
Ji Gong implement Source Certification Contract, SCC, to verify binary
object's.

When attempting to run a binary object on your system, users need to trust
the binary and its original source code.
The question should ask for the authorship of the binary and it's assumed
source code, hence SCC authenticates the binary against the source code it
claims to be originated from.
We will showcase deployment of, SCC signed applications, using JogAmp APIs
running on top of Ji Gong within a browser on embedded devices and desktop.

* Brief Bio @Sven Gothel

Sven Gothel

Sven Gothel leads the JogAmp project since it's inception in 2009 and is an
independent consultant. Previously he worked for Sun Microsystems, Inc.
driving the new Java Plugin with JNLP Support, enhancing the JOGL project
and working with a team on an experimental new multimedia toolkit. He was
also employed by ATI & AMD leading development of an embedded OpenGL driver
for the aviation industry. He consulted Harman/Becker, Siemens and others
in the embedded multimedia field focusing on platform neutrality, including
graphics technology with high performance objectives. In 1997 he started an
OpenGL language binding for Java called GL4Java.

Old guy incapable of doing other things than maintaining finally matured
stuff usable within a VM in an independent fashion within the great JogAmp
team and with huge help from the people (-> open source). Previously
dealing w/ other 3D stuff from native drivers to UI APIs, plugins, and
other proprietary projects.
