Welcome to the 2nd PHYSICS Hackathon!

PHYSICS, an EU-funded project under the H2020 program, is developing a toolkit based on the low-code Node-RED environment targeting easier application creation and interconnection with the FaaS paradigm. It aims to provide an exciting opportunity for IoT and Cloud enthusiasts to use or extend the PHYSICS collection of Node-Red flows and patterns as well as the catalogue of platform assets. The hackathon will include a number of proposed challenges, related to the usage, extension and combination of the existing flows.

About the challenges

The flow challenge is looking for innovative usage, extension or combination of the existing flows. Indicative topics include visualisation aspects, monitoring aspects as well as security and flow management aspects. Further implementations can be provided based on typical Cloud or FaaS related patterns (example).

The function challenge looks for the creation of relevant functions following the FaaS paradigm in Openwhisk in order to cater for a new type of operation or migration of existing code.

Requirements

What to Submit

At the end of the hackathon, participants will share (via Drive or GitHub) their code (for the flow challenge) or Docker image (via dockerhub in the case of the function challenge) and a short presentation (for the three challenges) to introduce their idea so it can be evaluated by the judges.

Additionally, those wanting to promote their participation in the hackathon are invited to short a short pitch video (1-2 minutes) that will be shared through PHYSICS channels.
