This paper describes an implemented system which is designed to support the deployment of applications offering distributed services, comprising a number of distributed components. This is achieved by creating high level placement and…
A GLObal Smart Space (GLOSS) provides support for interaction amongst people, artefacts and places while taking account of both context and movement on a global scale. Crucial to the definition of a GLOSS is the provision of a set of…
Secure software architecture is increasingly important in a data-driven world. When security is neglected sensitive information might leak through unauthorized access. To mitigate this software architects needs tools and methods to quantify…
We demonstrate, by a number of examples, that information-flow security properties can be proved from abstract architectural descriptions, that describe only the causal structure of a system and local properties of trusted components. We…
The wide variety of wireless devices brings to design mobile applications as a collection of interchangeable software components adapted to the deployment environment of the software. To ensure the proper functioning of the software…
Executing distributed cyber-physical software processes on edge devices that maintains the resiliency of the overall system while adhering to resource constraints is quite a challenging trade-off to consider for developers. Current…
Internet-enabled things and devices operating in the physical world are increasingly integrated in modern distributed systems, supporting functionalities that require assurances that certain critical requirements are satisfied by the…
A large percentage of buildings, domestic or special-purpose, is expected to become increasingly "smarter" in the future, due to the immense benefits in terms of energy saving, safety, flexibility, and comfort, that relevant new…
Regarding to the smart city infrastructures, there is a demand for big data processing and its further usage. This data can be gained by various means. There are many IoT devices in the city, which can communicate and share the information…
Smart Grids are energy delivery networks, constituting an evolution of power grids, in which a bidirectional flow between power providers and consumers is established. These flows support the transfer of electricity and information, in…
Numerous systems for dissemination, retrieval, and archiving of documents have been developed in the past. Those systems often focus on one of these aspects and are hard to extend and combine. Typically, the transmission protocols, query…
This document describes the Gloss software currently implemented. The description of the Gloss demonstrator for multi-surface interaction can be found in D17. The ongoing integration activity for the work described in D17 and D8 constitutes…
The systems that operate the infrastructure of cities have evolved in a fragmented fashion across several generations of technology, causing city utilities and services to operate sub-optimally and limiting the creation of new value-added…
Many challenges in today's society can be tackled by distributed open systems. This is particularly true for domains that are commonly perceived under the umbrella of smart cities, such as intelligent transportation, smart energy grids, or…
A smart space offers entirely new opportunities for end users by adapting services accordingly to make life easy. A number of architectural designs have been proposed to design context awareness systems and adaptation behavior. However, the…
Based on software-defined principles, we propose a holistic architecture for Cyberphysical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and highlight the merits pertaining to scalability, flexibility, robustness,…
This paper presents a reconfigurable parallel data flow architecture. This architecture uses the concepts of multi-agent paradigm in reconfigurable hardware systems. The utilization of this new paradigm has the potential to greatly increase…
The purpose of this paper is to do a general survey on the existing communication modes inside a smart grid, the existing security loopholes and their countermeasures. Then we suggest a detailed countermeasure, building upon the Jigsaw…
The combination between innovative topics and emerging technologies lets researchers define new processes and models. New needs regard the definition of modular and scalable approaches, with society and environment in mind. An important…
We describe here a structured system for distributed mechanism design appropriate for both Intranet and Internet applications. In our approach the players dynamically form a network in which they know neither their neighbours nor the size…
