The Linked Data community is focused on integrating Resource Description Framework (RDF) data sets into a single unified representation known as the Web of Data. The Web of Data can be traversed by both man and machine and shows promise as…
In order to understand the state and evolution of the entirety of open source software we need to get a handle on the set of distinct software projects. Most of open source projects presently utilize Git, which is a distributed version…
Environments for decentralized on-line collaboration are now widespread on the Web, underpinning open-source efforts, knowledge creation sites including Wikipedia, and other experiments in joint production. When a distributed group works…
The work presents a solution for completely decentralized data management systems in geographically distributed environments with administratively unrelated or loosely related user groups and in conditions of partial or complete lack of…
In recent years, the increased need to house and process large volumes of data has prompted the need for distributed storage and querying systems. The growth of machine-readable RDF triples has prompted both industry and academia to develop…
As a promising distributed machine learning paradigm that enables collaborative training without compromising data privacy, Federated Learning (FL) has been increasingly used in AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) design. However, due…
Over the last decades the Web has evolved from a human-human communication network to a network of complex human-machine interactions. An increasing amount of data is available as Linked Data which allows machines to "understand" the data,…
Background: Data mining and analyzing of public Git software repositories is a growing research field. The tools used for studies that investigate a single project or a group of projects have been refined, but it is not clear whether the…
The emerging Web of Data utilizes the web infrastructure to represent and interrelate data. The foundational standards of the Web of Data include the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and the Resource Description Framework (RDF). URIs are…
GitHub has become the central online platform for much of open source, hosting most open source code repositories. With this popularity, the public digital traces of GitHub are now a valuable means to study teamwork and collaboration. In…
As the complexity of our neural network models grow, so too do the data and computation requirements for successful training. One proposed solution to this problem is training on a distributed network of computational devices, thus…
We introduce Ring-topology Decentralized Federated Learning (RDFL) for distributed model training, aiming to avoid the inherent risks of centralized failure in server-based FL. However, RDFL faces the challenge of low information-sharing…
During the last decade or so, we have had a deluge of data from not only science fields but also industry and commerce fields. Although the amount of data available to us is constantly increasing, our ability to process it becomes more and…
The vision of the Semantic Web is becoming a reality with billions of RDF triples being distributed over multiple queryable end-points (e.g. Linked Data). Although there has been a body of work on RDF triples persistent storage, it seems…
The Semantic Web technologies have been used in the Internet of Things (IoT) to facilitate data interoperability and address data heterogeneity issues. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) model is employed in the integration of IoT…
Despite being widely used, the algorithms that enable collaboration with Git are not well understood. The diff and merge algorithms are particularly interesting, as they could be applied in other contexts. In this thesis, I document the…
With privacy as a motivation, Federated Learning (FL) is an increasingly used paradigm where learning takes place collectively on edge devices, each with a cache of user-generated training examples that remain resident on the local device.…
Federated Learning is a distributed machine learning approach that enables geographically distributed data silos to collaboratively learn a joint machine learning model without sharing data. Most of the existing work operates on…
Recently, a new generation of P2P systems capable of addressing data integrity and authenticity has emerged for the development of new applications for a "more" decentralized Internet, i.e., Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) and…
A common assumption suggests that individuals tend to work with others who are similar to them. However, studies on team working and ability of the group to solve complex problems highlight that diversity plays a critical role during…
