The development of distributed generation technology is endowing consumers the ability to produce energy and transforming them into "prosumers". This transformation shall improve energy efficiency and pave the way to a low-carbon future.…
As Internet is changing from network of data into network of functionalities, a federated Internet of applications, that every application can cooperate with each other smoothly, is a natural trending topic. However, existing integration…
This paper is about the possible negative impact of excessive collaboration on the performance of top employees. With the rise of participatory culture and developments in communications technology, management practices require greater…
Nowadays, both the amount of cyberattacks and their sophistication have considerably increased, and their prevention is of concern of most of organizations. Cooperation by means of information sharing is a promising strategy to address this…
Information-centric networks are an interesting new paradigm for distributing content on the Internet. They bring up many research challenges, such as addressing content by name, securing content, and wide-spread caching of content. Caching…
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) botnets are becoming widely used as a low-overhead, efficient, self-maintaining, distributed alternative to the traditional client/server model across a broad range of cyberattacks. These cyberattacks can take the form of…
We present a new approach to estimating the interdependence of industries in an economy by applying data science solutions. By exploiting interfirm buyer--seller network data, we show that the problem of estimating the interdependence of…
Economic interdependencies have become increasingly present in globalized production, financial and trade systems. While establishing interdependencies among economic agents is crucial for the production of complex products, they may also…
For an offline-first collaborative application to operate in true peer-to-peer fashion, its collaborative features must function even in environments where internet connectivity is limited or unavailable. Each peer may only be interested in…
Interconnectivity of production machines is a key feature of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This feature allows for many advantages in producing. Configuration and maintenance gets easier, as access to the given production unit…
The paper presents a comparative overview of decentralized data storages of various types. It is shown that although they have a number of common properties that are typical of all peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, the problems to be solved and,…
In this paper we reexamine an assumption that underpinned the development of the Internet architecture, namely that a stateless and loosely synchronous point-to-point datagram delivery service would be sufficient to meet the needs of all…
"Data" is becoming an indispensable production factor, just like land, infrastructure, labor or capital. As part of this, a myriad of applications in different sectors require huge amounts of information to feed models and algorithms…
Collective intelligence, which aggregates the shared information from large crowds, is often negatively impacted by unreliable information sources with the low quality data. This becomes a barrier to the effective use of collective…
In the era of the Internet of information, we have gone through layering, cross-layer, and cross-system design paradigms. Recently, the ``curse of modeling" and ``curse of dimensionality" of the cross-system design paradigm have resulted in…
This survey of heterogeneous computing systems will help in analyzing the technological trends that will be at the basis of heterogeneous computing systems, highlighting the major opportunities and challenges such technologies will bring…
The internet landscape is growing and at the same time becoming more heterogeneous. Services are performed via computers and networks, critical data is stored digitally. This enables freedom for the user, and flexibility for operators. Data…
Industrial organisations, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME), face a number of challenges with regard to the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies and methods. The scope of analytics processing…
Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading is seen as a viable solution to handle the growing number of distributed energy resources in distribution networks. However, when dealing with large-scale consumers, there are several challenges that must be…
Over the past decade, crowdsourcing has emerged as a cheap and efficient method of obtaining solutions to simple tasks that are difficult for computers to solve but possible for humans. The popularity and promise of crowdsourcing markets…
