Asynchronous Operations

Asynchronous Operations

DOF Technology uses Synchronous and Asynchronous Operations, but we’ve found there’s a bit of confusion about what the differences are between these two types of operations and their sequences. On this page we’ll describe an Asynchronous Operation.

Introducing the Cloud Service Toolkit

Introducing the Cloud Service Toolkit

Panasonic today announced the release of a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) toolkit, continuing the release of technology that began last March. This toolkit contains modular services that can be used to build highly scalable cloud-centric applications and is available either royalty-free for approved open-source projects or through licensing for commercial products. The CST…

OpenDOF Suitcase App for iOS and Android

OpenDOF Suitcase App for iOS and Android

The OpenDOF Project is pleased to announce that the OpenDOF Suitcase app is now available for both iOS and Android.

This application is frequently used in our demonstrations to show how a DOF application could be used to track the location of a suitcase and monitor any physical impacts it may receive in transit.

The New OpenDOF Download Manager

The New OpenDOF Download Manager

We have installed a new download manager that should make things much easier. As we prepare more releases, more training and more documentation (of all types), we wanted to put a system in place that would allow users to find the material they wanted, in one place.

Basic Concepts of OpenDOF Security

Basic Concepts of OpenDOF Security

DOF Security and the Authentication Server (AS)

As part of DOF security, an Authentication Server (AS) is used to authenticate the credentials of each component on a network. The AS centralizes security information, creating a shared trust environment—without exposing credentials—while allowing full access control. This means you have control over who (or which resources) has access and what levels of access they have. A single AS can also provide multiple security domains.

The Panasonic Distributed Testing Framework

The Panasonic Distributed Testing Framework enables automated testing across multiple software versions and network topologies.

Testing functionality and interoperability between many versions of software components can be daunting. Since the number of tests grows exponentially with each version, the challenge of creating adequate test plans may even discourage modularized software development. The Panasonic Distributed Testing Framework helps solve this problem by automating the task of generating and executing tests in a scalable way.
