Eclipse - an Innovation Network for the Vertical Industries Open Source- for many the expression is a synonym for 'no cost' or 'easy to obtain'. Only known to the insider is the fact that Open Source methods and licenses have become the basis of many industry collaboration efforts. Here Open Source is applied to jointly develop, maintain and distribute software relevant for the industry. Due to its well-defined Intellectual Property Management and its Development Process is the Eclipse Project today well positioned to support industry initiatives in the collaborative value creation process. The commerce-friendly Eclipse Public License (EPL) makes it easy to capture value in commercial exploitation, providing the basis for a successful and sustainable eco system. The talk will present the Eclipse Foundation and its processes. It will also present examples of industry collaborations. We will look at the Eclipse Mobile Working Group as well as the current status of the automotive E/E tools and the Prometheus initiative in the insurance industry as they develop.

14. What is Eclipse
Eclipse is an open source community focused on developing a
universal platform of frameworks and exemplary tools that make it
easy and cost-effective to build and deploy software in today’s
connected and unconnected world.
Eclipse is a consortium of major software vendors, solution providers,
corporations, educational and research institutions and individuals
working together to create an eco-system that enhances, promotes and
cultivates the Eclipse open platform with complementary products,
services and capabilities.

29. Mutation…
• The software edition does not bring an added value corresponding
to the required cost
Licenses costs are expensive (not linked to the real value of the tool)
Maintenance costs are expensive, although there is finally no real
guarantee
Evolution costs are prohibiting
Lack of continuity in front of very long lifecycle product
No mastering of the tools, their evolutions and the editor strategy by
the users
• The question is : Is there a new model for software tools that could
respond to our constraints ?
Open source is a possible response
