The Project CORA Vision Paper
Project CORA (Create Once Reach All) is the proposal to enable a single piece of content to run on many client devices from a single workflow and build process. It can take advantage of the capabilities of each client device, and support a client, cloud, and hybrid client-cloud workload balanced compute ecosystem.
The session will begin with an analysis of where the ecosystem is today along with a summary of some of its core challenges. This will be followed by a proposal for Project CORA along with a first-attempt birds eye view of a potential framework. TIFCA welcomes the industry to contribute to Project CORA through participation, framework engineering, and bold new ideas.

Open Standards and Infrastructure
For something to truly be a new computing era, it requires far more than one or more innovative products. It needs a vibrant community of partners and competitors working towards a strong ecosystem to live in. This ecosystem includes standards, platforms, intellectual property, a rule of law, and a desire to be far more than what any one organization can be on its own.
This discussion focuses on leading standards and ecosystem drivers contributing to our developing cross-platform world.
