Advances in the use of cognitive and machine learning (ML) enabled systems fuel the quest for novel approaches and tools to support software developers in executing their tasks. First, as software development is a complex and dynamic…
Dependability is the ability to consistently deliver trusted and uninterrupted service in the face of operational uncertainties. Ensuring dependable operation in large-scale, energy-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) deployments is as…
Traditional authorization policies are user-centric, in the sense that authorization is defined, ultimately, in terms of user identities. We believe that this user-centric approach is inappropriate for many applications, and that what…
The rapid transformation of the labor market, driven by technological advancements and the digital economy, requires continuous competence development and constant adaptation. In this context, traditional competence management systems lack…
Context awareness is one of the important fields in ubiquitous computing. Smart Home, a specific instance of ubiquitous computing, provides every family with opportunities to enjoy the power of hi-tech home living. Discovering that…
The evolving smart and interconnected systems are designed to operate with minimal human intervention. Devices within these smart systems often engage in prolonged operations based on sensor data and contextual factors. Recently, an…
Contextual utility theory integrates context-sensitive factors into utility-based decision-making models. It stresses the importance of understanding individual decision-makers' preferences, values, and beliefs and the situational factors…
When we interact with small screen devices, sometimes we make errors, due to our abilities/disabilities, contextual factors that distract our attention or problems related to the interface. Recovering from these errors may be time consuming…
Along with the classical problem of managing multiple identities, actions, devices, APIs etc. in different businesses, there has been an escalating need for having the capability of flexible attribute based access control~(ABAC) mechanisms.…
People have the ability to make sensible assumptions about other people's emotional states by being sympathetic, and because of our common sense of knowledge and the ability to think visually. Over the years, much research has been done on…
Context-aware adaptation is a central aspect of pervasive computing applications, enabling them to adapt and perform tasks based on contextual information. One of the aspects of context-aware adaptation is reconfiguration in which bindings…
Modern cybersecurity threats are growing in complexity, targeting increasingly intricate & interconnected systems. To effectively defend against these evolving threats, security teams utilize automation & orchestration to enhance response…
Agentic AI systems present both significant opportunities and novel risks due to their capacity for autonomous action, encompassing tasks such as code execution, internet interaction, and file modification. This poses considerable…
On-device AI agents offer the potential for personalized, low-latency assistance, but their deployment is fundamentally constrained by limited memory capacity, which restricts usable context. This reduced practical context window creates a…
As a result of the phenomenal proliferation of modern mobile Internet-enabled devices and the widespread utilization of wireless and cellular data networks, mobile users are increasingly requiring services tailored to their current context.…
As networks move toward the next-generation 6G, Intent-based Management (IbM) systems are increasingly adopted to simplify and automate network management by translating high-level intents into low-level configurations. Within these…
Context-dependent sequential decision making is commonly addressed either by providing context explicitly as an input or by increasing recurrent memory so that contextual information can be represented internally. We study a third…
We design a graph-based framework for the visualisation and analysis of obligations in access control policies. We consider obligation policies in CBACO, the category-based access control model, which has been shown to subsume many of the…
The Core Data Ontology (CDO) and the Informatics Domain Model represent a transformative approach to computational systems, shifting from traditional node-centric designs to a data-centric paradigm. This paper introduces a framework where…
Complex tasks are increasingly delegated to ensembles of specialized LLM-based agents that reason, communicate, and coordinate actions-both among themselves and through interactions with external tools, APIs, and databases. While persistent…
