Towards an Operating System for the Campus Towards an Operating System for the Campus Pengfei Yuan, Yao Guo, and Xiangqun Chen Key Laboratory of High-Confidence Software Technologies (Ministry of Education) School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University {yuanpf12, yaoguo, cherry}@sei.pku.edu.cn ABSTRACT data center or even the whole Internet as a computer, we can Almost every computing device runs an operating system, envision that many applications are \actually" running on which is responsible for managing different resources on the network of computers. Consequently, many researchers the device and providing higher-level programming abstrac- have proposed various operating systems for cloud or even tions. This paper proposes CampusOS, an operating system the Internet. For example, Tim O'Reilly proposed his vision which is responsible for managing networked resources on of an Internet Operating System [7]. At the same time, university campuses, including data of students, teachers, many other operating systems have been proposed for cloud courses, organizations, and even data generated from users' computing [10], networked home appliances [3], commercial computing devices. CampusOS provides flexible support for buildings [2], and even connected city blocks [4]. campus application development with SDKs consisting of In contrast, this paper focuses on the evolvement of campus-related APIs. CampusOS features and SDK APIs applications and services running on closely-connected com- can also be extended by developers easily.

Providing higher-level APIs for commonly used lower-level features can improve the Keywords development process significantly. For example, identifying a specific place (such as a building on campus) with a Internet operating system, Middleware, Campus application smartphone requires access to the sensors on the device development, Internetware and the campus building layout information, as well as a positioning algorithm. As many campus applications 1.

  • Rise and Fall of Platforms: Systematic Analysis Of
    21ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED17 21-25 AUGUST 2017, THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, VANCOUVER, CANADA RISE AND FALL OF PLATFORMS: SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF PLATFORM DYNAMICS THANKS TO AXIOMATIC DESIGN Legrand, Julien; Thomas, Maxime; Le Masson, Pascal; Weil, Benoît MINES ParisTech, France Abstract While platforms are multiplying across industries, the laws governing their dynamic are still poorly understood. The high diversity of disciplines covering the topic, spanning from strategy management to engineering design, made it difficult for any new model to integrate the numerous phenomena at stakes. In a new effort to bring them together, we exhibit Suh’s Axiomatic Design as an ideal framework to systematically analyse platforms dynamics when market and technology forces meet and interact. Exporting the current description of platforms from Design Structure Matrices to Design Matrices, our research enables us to systematically explore platforms potential evolutions. While the model leads us to rediscover classical behaviours, it also uncovers new results, such as situations of split leadership and platform overthrow, in which complementors challenge the platform leader. Both can be linked to two necessary conditions: functional generativity and technical genericity. We then identify those behaviours in several cases.
