Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2018

EdgeX Foundry is a vendor-neutral. open source, hardware, and OS agnostic Linux Foundation project to create a common open platform for IoT edge computing systems.  EdgeX is a software framework that enables you to rapidly connect the “things” in your IoT environment to your enterprise or cloud systems.

In this lab, you will:
• Understand how EdgeX Foundry supports the development and deployment of interoperable and distributable edge/fog/IoT solutions.
• Learn how to get and deploy EdgeX.
• Learn how to connect sensors and devices to EdgeX and get their data flowing into the platform.
• Learn how to connect EdgeX to a cloud platform and get data from the edge to applications and system that live in the cloud or enterprise.
• Explore where and how you can customize/extend EdgeX to suit your IoT use cases.

Getting Started With EdgeX Foundry participants, please install Docker and Docker Compose before attending the session.  Find instructions on how to install Docker for your platform here: https://docs.docker.com/install/.  Find instructions on how to install Docker Compose for your platform here:  https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/.  While not required, if you have never used Docker and would like to learn a little bit more about it before the session, you may wish to watch this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=VhabrYF1nms.

Qiskit is a comprehensive open-source tool for quantum computation. From simple demonstrations of quantum mechanical effects to complicated algorithms for solving problems in AI and chemistry, Qiskit allows users to build and run programs on quantum computers of today.

Qiskit is built with modularity and extensibility in mind. This means it is easy to extend its compiler optimization capabilities for higher performance, easy to add new quantum algorithms for solving classical problems, and easy to plug in a new quantum device or simulator for execution.

This tutorial will discuss the internal components of Qiskit, its convenient Pythonic user interface, and the community that has formed around it. After a brief introduction to quantum computation and its differences with classical computing, the audience will have the chance to use Qiskit and execute code on a real quantum processor.
