* 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.

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 deployment of a minimal and 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 implements 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.

Title: JogAmp Scenarios via GPU: Curvy User Interfaces, Multimedia and Computing

Abstract:
The JogAmp community creates tools for technology empowerment.

JogAmp offers a solution to produce 3D graphics and Curvy user interfaces with multimedia content including audio and computing running on systems ranging from low power mobile and embedded to desktop and servers. JogAmp empower programmers with access to hardware accelerated APIs such as OpenGL, OpenAL and OpenCL.
JogAmp offer a patent free implementation to draw resolution independent curved user interfaces and vector graphics using OpenGL on both mobile and desktop graphics processors.
