Kicking off a first-time ever open architecture/open standards ecosystem event on September 18-19, the MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach) Industry and Government Summit & Expo was a resounding win! A great deal of that success is attributed to the event completely integrating (what was previously known as) The Open Group FACE and SOSA Consortia TIM & Expo. The two-full-day MOSA Summit was held at the Georgia World Congress Center Atlanta. It garnered over 2,000 registrants and welcomed nearly 1,500 attendees. More than 130 Industry and Tri-Services booths showcased the latest OA/OS/MOSA-centric products in the Expo Hall - over 80 booths were represented by SOSA™ and FACE® Consortia member organizations.
A busy Agenda offering ran parallel to the Expo Hall for a day and a half. That included Keynotes and Leadership presentations, several Panel Discussions, technical sessions, educational and training as well as a unique Tech Innovation Challenge opportunity in which over 20 companies participated in demonstrating their latest advancements.
Kudos to the SOSA Consortium members that presented their TIM papers at the MOSA Summit! Those talks covered: SOSA Small Form Factor Prototyping; MBSE-Enabled Automation for SOSA Interface Definition and Implementation; Accelerating Power Supply Integration – SOSA Paves the Way for Conformance Testing Backplane and much more.
