A Blog of the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences
In one of our blog posts we presented a basic tool which extends the Openstack Nova client and supports executing API calls at some point in the future. Much has evolved since then: the tool is not just a wrapper around Openstack clients anymore and instead we rebuilt it in the context of the Openstack […]
Supported by Huawei’s Seeds for the Future programme, 16 students from Swiss universities of applied sciences are spending a couple of education and project days at production and research facilities in China which cover the broad topics of telecommunications equipment, enterprise computing solutions and mobile handhelds. Among the participants, two study Computer Science and Business […]

He’s currently in his final year of his bachelor of engineering degree and working on his thesis on Cloud-native Vehicle Control System using License Plate Recognition. His research interests include cloud native applications, cloud orchestration, cloud […]
Operating system process management has traditionally been an activity at the system level. An init system starts processes at boot time, at random events, and at the user’s (well, root’s) request. Well-known init systems are systemd, openrc and the venerable sysvinit. Without the boot-time component, supervisor processes such as supervisord, runit, daemontools or r6 form […]
In one of our projects, we needed to test some mongo based backend functionality: we wrote a small application which comprised of a mongo backend and a python app which communicated with the backend via pymongo. We like the flexibility of mongo in a rapid prototyping context and did not want to go with a […]

In the Service Engineering research area, we aim at producing high-quality output in terms of software, publications, lecture materials and other results. From time to time, this implies departing from old habits and taking a bit of extra effort to reach new quality levels. For publications, there are excellent tools like LaTeX to achieve a […]
Title: ARKIS – Architectural Renovation of Kendox InfoShare Industry Partner: Kendox AG Research Partner: SPLab, ZHAW Funded By: Commission for Technology and Innovation Summary: ARKIS aims at going beyond the current trend of “just” moving data and document management into the cloud by defining a cloud-native architecture for managing documents reliably and with scale in an […]
Stitching virtual network functions (VNFs) together in a so called Network (Service) Function Chain is not a novelty any longer. Described in our previous post, the SDN team had already worked on creating SFC library support for OpenStack in our SDK for SDN. In this blog we describe the advances made towards integrating Netfloc services with […]
