Hello, my fellow villagers!

Did you know there is a project called ProSense?
It's funded by European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7),
and it's aim is to raise the level of research potential of researchers from WBC
(Western Balkan Countries), particularly ones from FYRO Macedonia and Serbia
with help from the EU academic institutions and companies.

The project coordinator is Dr. Srdjan Krčo (Ericsson Ireland Research Centre).
Other partners are:
  • Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies, Macedonia
  • INRIA, France
  • University of Birmingham, UK
  • Warsaw University of Technology, Poland
  • CTI, Patras, Greece
  • University of Belgrade, Serbia
  • Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia

The project motto is:
"Promote, Mobilize, Reinforce and Integrate
Wireless Sensor Networking Research and Researchers:
Towards Pervasive Networking of West Balkan Countries and the EU"

The project started a year ago and it should end in March 2010.

I work as a part-time researcher at the School of Electrical Engineering (ETF),
University of Belgrade, Serbia. The team that I am part of has to design two WSN use-cases
- two Personal Health applications. Also, we have to establish a course and a laboratory for WSN at ETF.
We have several SunSPOT, Shimmer and Sensinode Development Kits to play with (since few weeks).

That's it for an introduction, now go on and browse our site and get back with comments!

Marko, I noticed the sensor project ProSense has ended, or has it? I have worked with sensors including the SunSPOT. There's a lot of talk from some corners about SunSPOTs. What are a few of the most outstanding things you've learned so far? Best, Michael

Happy 10th year, JCertif!

JEP 525 Brings Timeout Handling and Joiner Refinements to Java’s Structured Concurrency

JEP 525, a highlight in the upcoming JDK 26, refines structured concurrency for clearer, safer task management. This iteration introduces a timeout callback for custom joiners, enhancing flexibility and error handling. With streamlined APIs and focus on practical usage, it empowers developers to efficiently manage concurrent tasks, paving the way for advanced Project Loom features.

Presentation: Thinking Like a Detective: Solving Cloud Infrastructure Mysteries

Brendan McLoughlin shares a detective’s framework for solving cloud infrastructure failures. He explains the "usual suspects" in the network stack - from DNS to API gateways - and discusses how to apply Richard Cook’s "How Complex Systems Fail" to modern observability. He shares strategies for building robust runbooks and using tools like Honeycomb and OpenTelemetry to find hidden timeouts.

Article: Engineering Speed at Scale — Architectural Lessons from Sub-100-ms APIs

Sub‑100-ms APIs emerge from disciplined architecture using latency budgets, minimized hops, async fan‑out, layered caching, circuit breakers, and strong observability. But long‑term speed depends on culture, with teams owning p99, monitoring drift, managing thread pools, and treating performance as a shared, continuous responsibility.

AWS Adds Intelligent-Tiering and Replication for S3 Tables

AWS has introduced Intelligent-Tiering and cross-region replication for S3 Tables to automate cost optimization and data availability for Apache Iceberg workloads. These features allow data to transition to lower-cost storage tiers based on access patterns while maintaining consistent, read-only table replicas across regions and accounts without manual synchronization.
