Searching for appropriate web services on the internet is becoming more and more laborious, because it depends on human processing and evaluating of the available web services in UDDI repositories. Furthermore, if the requester language is…
Function as a Service (FaaS) paradigm is becoming widespread and is envisioned as the next generation of cloud systems that mitigate the burden for programmers and cloud solution architects. However, the FaaS abstraction only makes the…
In this paper, we present an Improved Data Augmentation (IDA) technique focused on Salient Object Detection (SOD). Standard data augmentation techniques proposed in the literature, such as image cropping, rotation, flipping, and resizing,…
Big Data are growing at an exponential rate and it becomes necessary the use of tools and technologies to manage, process and visualize them in order to extract value. In this paper a micro-service based platform is presented for the…
This work is an introduction to the author's contributions to the SOC area, resulting from his PhD research activity. It focuses on the problem of automatically composing a desired service, given a set of available ones and a target…
Distributed information systems are needed to be autonomous, heterogeneous and adaptable to the context. This is the reason why they resort Web services based on SOA Based on the advanced technology of SOA. These technologies can evolve in…
Fog computing can support IoT services with fast response time and low bandwidth usage by moving computation from the cloud to edge devices. However, existing fog computing frameworks have limited flexibility to support dynamic service…
Service Oriented Architecture is a loosely coupled architecture designed to tackle the problem of Business Infrastructure alignment to meet the needs of an organization. A SOA based platform enables the enterprises to develop applications…
The global economic recession and the shrinking budget of IT projects have led to the need of development of integrated information systems at a lower cost. Today, the emerging phenomenon of cloud computing aims at transforming the…
This position paper explores how to support the Web's evolution through an underlying data-centric approach that better matches the data-orientedness of modern and emerging applications. We revisit the original vision of the Web as a…
In Function as a Service (FaaS), a serverless computing variant, customers deploy functions instead of complete virtual machines or Linux containers. It is the cloud provider who maintains the runtime environment for these functions. FaaS…
Topological Data Analysis is a recent and fast growing field providing a set of new topological and geometric tools to infer relevant features for possibly complex data. This paper is a brief introduction, through a few selected topics, to…
With the rise of deep convolutional neural networks, object detection has achieved prominent advances in past years. However, such prosperity could not camouflage the unsatisfactory situation of Small Object Detection (SOD), one of the…
The Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is considered to be the next generation of intelligent industrial automation systems that integrate computing, communication and control technologies. In CPS, the interoperability requirements between devices…
An essential capability of the Virtual Observatory is a means for describing what data and computational facilities are available where, and once identified, how to use them. The data themselves have associated metadata (e.g., FITS…
Robotic middleware serves as the foundational infrastructure, enabling complex robotic systems to operate in a coordinated and modular manner. In data-intensive robotic applications, especially in industrial scenarios, communication…
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a type of software service delivery model which encompasses a broad range of business opportunities and challenges. Users and service providers are reluctant to integrate their business into SaaS due to its…
Wireless data aggregation (WDA), referring to aggregating data distributed at devices (e.g., sensors and smartphone), is a common operation in 5G-and-beyond machine-type communications to support Internet-of-Things (IoT), which lays the…
We suggest a new web-based approach for browsing and visualizing data produced by a network of telescopes, such as those of the ongoing TAOS and the forthcoming TAOS II projects. We propose a modern client-side technology and we present two…
A fleet of connected vehicles easily produces many gigabytes of data per hour, making centralized (off-board) data processing impractical. In addition, there is the issue of distributing tasks to on-board units in vehicles and processing…
