Transportation systems can be conceptualized as an instrument of spreading people and resources over the territory, playing an important role in developing sustainable cities. The current rationale of transport provision is based on…
Service composition is an aggregate of services often leveraged to automate the enterprise business processes. While Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been a forefront of service composition, services can be realized as efficient…
Edge computing is a promising computing paradigm for pushing the cloud service to the network edge. To this end, edge infrastructure providers (EIPs) need to bring computation and storage resources to the network edge and allow edge service…
It is undeniable that most developers today are building distributed applications. However, most of these applications are developed by composing existing systems together through unspecified APIs exposed to the application developer.…
Most of the services viewed in context to grid and cloud computing are mostly confined to services that are available for intellectual purposes. The grid or cloud computing are large scale distributed systems. The essence of large scale…
In this work we propose the design principles of an integrated distributed system for the augment of the transportation for people with disabilities inside the road network of a city area utilizing the IT technologies. We propose the basis…
With the increasing processing capability of mobile platforms and advancements in Internet of Things, modern mobile devices have shown a favorable prospect for on-the-go service provisioning. However, there is much to be done to realize…
Smart technologies are significant in supporting ageing in place for elderly. Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), it provides peace of mind, enabling the elderly to continue living independently. Elderly use…
As microservice-based systems scale across the cloud-edge continuum, traditional centralized scheduling mechanisms increasingly struggle with latency, coordination overhead, and fault tolerance. This paper presents a new architectural…
The euphoria around microservices has decreased over the years, but the trend of modernizing legacy systems to this novel architectural style is unbroken to date. A variety of approaches have been proposed in academia and industry, aiming…
In this paper we describe the requirements and early system design for a smart conversational agent that can assist older adults in the reminiscence process. The practice of reminiscence has well documented benefits for the mental, social…
Unlike the traditional model of information pull, matchmaking is base on a cooperative partnership between information providers and consumers, assisted by an intelligent facilitator (the matchmaker). Refer to some experiments, the…
Semantic Web technologies offer the prospect of significantly reducing the amount of effort required to integrate existing enterprise functionality in support of new composite processes; whether within a given organization or across…
Resource allocation under uncertainty is a classical problem in city-scale cyber-physical systems. Consider emergency response as an example; urban planners and first responders optimize the location of ambulances to minimize expected…
The Internet of Things and Services is a rapidly growing concept that illustrates that the ever increasing amount of physical items of our daily life which become addressable through a network could be made more easily manageable and usable…
Mobility management is a key aspect to consider in future Internet architectures, as these architectures include a highly nomadic end-user which often relies on services provided by multi-access networks. In contrast, today's mobility…
Edge computing is a promising solution to enable low-latency IoT applications, by shifting computation from remote data centers to local devices, less powerful but closer to the end user devices. However, this creates the challenge on how…
Artificially intelligent systems optimized for speech conversation are appearing at a fast pace. Such models are interesting from a healthcare perspective, as these voice-controlled assistants may support the elderly and enable remote…
Despite the dominance of the service sector in the last decades, there is still a need for a strong foundation on service design and innovation. Little attention has paid on service modelling, particularly in the collaboration context.…
Modern and next generation digital infrastructures are technically based on service oriented structures, cloud services, and other architectures that compose large systems from smaller subsystems. The composition of subsystems is…
