Tydi is an open specification for streaming dataflow designs in digital circuits, allowing designers to express how composite and variable-length data structures are transferred over streams using clear, data-centric types. This provides a…
Many scientific disciplines have traditionally advanced by iterating over hypotheses using labor-intensive trial-and-error, which is a slow and expensive process. Recent advances in computing, digitalization, and machine learning have…
Many real-world services can be provided through multiple VNF graphs, corresponding, e.g., to high- and low-quality variants of the service itself. Based on this observation, we extend the concept of service scaling in network orchestration…
VIVer is a digital lexicography project with historical-literary and historical-linguistic aims that can be considered a case study of a Digital Humanities project. This paper presents the IT choices made to promote the dissemination and…
Efficient data streaming is essential for real-time data analytics, visualization, and machine learning model training, particularly when dealing with high-volume datasets. Various streaming technologies and serialization protocols have…
Web Services provide interoperable mechanisms for describing, locating and invoking services over the Internet; composition further enables to build complex services out of simpler ones for complex B2B applications. While current studies on…
We investigate the capability of an active body (master) to manipulate a passive object (slave) purely via contactless flow-mediated mechanisms, motivated by potential applications in microfluidic devices and medicine (drug delivery…
Software processes improvement (SPI) is a challenging task, as many different stakeholders, project settings, and contexts and goals need to be considered. SPI projects are often operated in a complex and volatile environment and, thus,…
This is a position paper, submitted to the Future Online Analysis Platform Workshop (https://press3.mcs.anl.gov/futureplatform/), which argues that simple data analysis applications are common today, but future online supercomputing…
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks establish loosely coupled application-level overlays on top of the Internet to facilitate efficient sharing of resources. It can be roughly classified as either structured or unstructured networks. Without…
Orchestrating service-oriented workflows is typically based on a design model that routes both data and control through a single point - the centralised workflow engine. This causes scalability problems that include the unnecessary…
The usage of process choreographies and decentralized Business Process Management Systems has been named as an alternative to centralized business process orchestration. In choreographies, control over a process instance is shared between…
A single vendor cannot provide complete IIoT end-to-end solutions because cooperation is required from multiple parties. Interoperability is a key architectural quality. Composability of capabilities, information and configuration is the…
DevOps processes comply with principles and offer practices with main objective to support efficiently the evolution of IT systems. To be efficient a DevOps process relies on a set of integrated tools. DevOps is the first required…
Networks can now process data as well as transporting it; it follows that they can support multiple services, each requiring different key performance indicators (KPIs). Because of the former, it is critical to efficiently allocate network…
Virtualized network services consisting of multiple individual network functions are already today deployed across multiple sites, so called multi-PoP (points of presence) environ- ments. This allows to improve service performance by…
The landscape of workflow systems for scientific applications is notoriously convoluted with hundreds of seemingly equivalent workflow systems, many isolated research claims, and a steep learning curve. To address some of these challenges…
The convergence of IoT, Edge, Cloud, and HPC technologies creates a compute continuum that merges cloud scalability and flexibility with HPC's computational power and specialized optimizations. However, integrating cloud and HPC resources…
Expanding the reach of the Internet is a topic of widespread interest today. Google and Facebook, among others, have begun investing substantial research efforts toward expanding Internet access at the edge. Compared to data center…
Nowadays, routing protocols have become a crucial part of the modern communication networks. A routing protocol's responsibility lies in determining the way routers communicate with each other in order to forward any kind of packets, from a…
