In Location-based Social Networks, Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation helps users discover interesting places. There is a trend to move from the cloud-based model to on-device recommendations for privacy protection and reduced server…
In today's digital landscape, the Web has become increasingly centralized, raising concerns about user privacy violations. Decentralized Web architectures, such as Solid, offer a promising solution by empowering users with better control…
Online educational systems running on smart devices have the advantage of allowing users to learn online regardless of the location of the users. In particular, data synchronization enables users to cooperate on contents in real time…
As the amount of scientific data continues to grow at ever faster rates, the research community is increasingly in need of flexible computational infrastructure that can support the entirety of the data science lifecycle, including…
Personalization in federated learning (FL) functions as a coordinator for clients with high variance in data or behavior. Ensuring the convergence of these clients' models relies on how closely users collaborate with those with similar…
Personal mobile sensing is fast permeating our daily lives to enable activity monitoring, healthcare and rehabilitation. Combined with deep learning, these applications have achieved significant success in recent years. Different from…
We present SocialGenPod, a decentralised and privacy-friendly way of deploying generative AI Web applications. Unlike centralised Web and data architectures that keep user data tied to application and service providers, we show how one can…
The widespread emergence of the Internet as a platform for electronic data distribution and the advent of structured information have revolutionized our ability to deliver information to any corner of the world. Although Service Oriented…
The Web is a ubiquitous economic, educational, and collaborative space. However, it also serves as a haven for personal information harvesting. Existing decentralised Web-based ecosystems, such as Solid, aim to combat personal data…
Location-based Services (LBSs) provide valuable services, with convenient features for users. However, the information disclosed through each request harms user privacy. This is a concern particularly with honest-but-curious LBS servers,…
We propose a new hybrid algorithm that allows incorporating both user and item side information within the standard collaborative filtering technique. One of its key features is that it naturally extends a simple PureSVD approach and…
Objective: Our objective is to explore how public entities in the role of platform providers can address this issue by enabling collaboration within their OGD ecosystems, both in terms of the OGD published on the underpinning platform, as…
Nowadays, data-intensive applications face the problem of handling heterogeneous data with sometimes mutually exclusive use cases and soft non-functional goals such as consistency and availability. Since no single platform copes everything,…
Collaborative Data Sharing raises a fundamental issue in distributed systems. Several strategies have been proposed for making shared data consistent between peers in such a way that the shared part of their local data become equal. Most of…
Collaborative web applications such as Facebook, Flickr and Yelp present new challenges for storing and querying large amounts of data. As users and developers are focused more on performance than single copy consistency or the ability to…
Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed and privacy-preserving machine learning paradigm that coordinates multiple clients to train a model while keeping the raw data localized. However, this traditional FL poses some challenges, including…
Developing artificial intelligence (AI) tools for healthcare is a collaborative effort, bringing data scientists, clinicians, patients and other disciplines together. In this paper, we explore the collaborative data practices of research…
The proliferation of location-based services has led to massive spatial data generation. Spatial join is a crucial database operation that identifies pairs of objects from two spatial datasets based on spatial relationships. Due to the…
Modern applications commonly need to manage dataset types composed of heterogeneous data and schemas, making it difficult to access them in an integrated way. A single data store to manage heterogeneous data using a common data model is not…
Background: Open innovation highlights the potential benefits of external collaboration and knowledge-sharing, often exemplified through Open Source Software (OSS). The public sector has thus far mainly focused on the sharing of Open…
