Bringing together the information latent in distributed medical databases promises to personalize medical care by enabling reliable, stable modeling of outcomes with rich feature sets (including patient characteristics and treatments…
RDF has seen increased adoption in recent years, prompting the standardization of the SPARQL query language for RDF, and the development of local and distributed engines for processing SPARQL queries. This survey paper provides a…
Collaborative vocabulary development in the context of data integration is the process of finding consensus between the experts of the different systems and domains. The complexity of this process is increased with the number of involved…
Software development is becoming increasingly open and collaborative with the advent of platforms such as GitHub. Given its crucial role, there is a need to better understand and model the dynamics of GitHub as a social platform. Previous…
Contemporary Distributed Computing Systems (DCS) such as Cloud Data Centres are large scale, complex, heterogeneous, and distributed across multiple networks and geographical boundaries. On the other hand, the Internet of Things…
Today's storage systems expose abstractions which are either too low-level (e.g., key-value store, raw-block store) that they require developers to re-invent the wheels, or too high-level (e.g., relational databases, Git) that they lack…
Modern science clearly demands for a higher level of reproducibility and collaboration. To make research fully reproducible one has to take care of several aspects: research protocol description, data access, environment preservation,…
Federated Learning is an algorithm suited for training models on decentralized data, but the requirement of a central "server" node is a bottleneck. In this document, we first introduce the notion of Decentralized Federated Learning (DFL).…
With the emerging developments of the Metaverse, a virtual world where people can interact, socialize, play, and conduct their business, it has become critical to ensure that the underlying systems are transparent, secure, and trustworthy.…
In federated learning, models are learned from users' data that are held private in their edge devices, by aggregating them in the service provider's "cloud" to obtain a global model. Such global model is of great commercial value in, e.g.,…
GitHub repositories consist of various detailed information about the project contributors, the number of commits and its contributors, releases, pull requests, programming languages, and issues. However, no systematic dataset of open…
BACKGROUND: Modern distributed systems replicate data across multiple execution sites. Business requirements and resource constraints often necessitate mixing different languages across replica sites. To facilitate the management of…
The performance of federated learning in neural networks is generally influenced by the heterogeneity of the data distribution. For a well-performing global model, taking a weighted average of the local models, as done by most existing…
This paper presents an architecture, based on Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) and Decentralized File Storage (DFS) systems, to support the use of Personal Information Management Systems (PIMS). DLT and DFS are used to manage data…
Machine learning models offer the capability to forecast future energy production or consumption and infer essential unknown variables from existing data. However, legal and policy constraints within specific energy sectors render the data…
The main goal of this paper is to define a collaborative innovation process as well as a supporting tool. It is motivated through the increasing competition on global markets and the resultant propagation of decentralized projects with a…
Decentralized learning enables the training of deep learning models over large distributed datasets generated at different locations, without the need for a central server. However, in practical scenarios, the data distribution across these…
Resource Description Framework (RDF) can seen as a solution in today's landscape of knowledge representation research. An RDF language has symmetrical features because subjects and objects in triples can be interchangeably used. Moreover,…
Currently, most machine learning models are trained by centralized teams and are rarely updated. In contrast, open-source software development involves the iterative development of a shared artifact through distributed collaboration using a…
Our paper introduces a novel approach to social network information retrieval and user engagement through a personalized chatbot system empowered by Federated Learning GPT. The system is designed to seamlessly aggregate and curate diverse…
