Today, data guides the decision-making process of most companies. Effectively analyzing and manipulating data at scale to extract and exploit relevant knowledge is a challenging task, due to data characteristics such as its size, the rate…

Microservice architectures provide an intuitive promise of high maintainability and evolvability due to loose coupling. However, these quality attributes are notably vulnerable to technical debt (TD). Few studies address TD in microservice…

The integration of digital technologies into urban planning has given rise to "smart cities," aiming to enhance quality of life and operational efficiency. However, the implementation of such technologies introduces ethical challenges,…

The complexity of IoT, owing to the inherent distributed and dynamic nature of such systems, brings more challenges to the software development process. A vast number of devices with different communication protocols and data formats is…

Developing intelligent systems requires combining results from both industry and academia. In this report you find an overview of relevant research fields and industrially applicable technologies for building very large scale cyber physical…

A smart city is a framework that uses information and communication technologies to improve public safety, quality of life, transportation and energy efficiency. A big share of these technologies has intelligent networks consisting of…

Federated learning has received fast-growing interests from academia and industry to tackle the challenges of data hungriness and privacy in machine learning. A federated learning system can be viewed as a large-scale distributed system…

Several smart city services rely on users contribution, e.g., data, which can be costly for the users in terms of privacy. High costs lead to reduced user participation, which undermine the success of smart city technologies. This work…

Designing secure information infrastructure is a function of design and usability. However, security is seldom given priority when systems are being developed. Secure design practices should balance between functionality (i.e., proper…

Technological progress paves the way to ever-increasing opportunities for automating city services. This spans from already existing concepts, such as automated shuttles at airports, to more speculative applications, such as fully…

Background: Distributed data-intensive systems are increasingly designed to be only eventually consistent. Persistent data is no longer processed with serialized and transactional access, exposing applications to a range of potential…

In smart cities built on information and communication technology, citizens and various IT systems interoperate in harmony. Cloud computing and Internet-of-Things technologies that have been developed for a long time are making modern…

Interoperability is the key to implementing a wide range of energy systems applications. It involves the seamless cooperation of different methods and components. With smart energy systems, interoperability faces challenges due to…

A large percentage of buildings in domestic or special-purpose is expected to become increasingly "smarter" in the future, due to the immense benefits in terms of energy saving, safety, flexibility, and comfort, that relevant new…

There is strong pressure to achieve greater uniformity, standardisation and application of best practices in the service professions, a sector which is growing in presence and importance. At the same time, there is a conflicting demand for…

Cloud architecture design presents significant challenges due to the necessity of clarifying ambiguous requirements and systematically addressing complex trade-offs, especially for novice engineers with limited cloud experience. While…

Smart and IoT-enabled mobile devices have the potential to enhance healthcare services for both patients and healthcare providers. Human computer interaction design is key to realizing a useful and usable connection between the users and…

Software architecture decision-making is critical to the success of a software system as software architecture sets the structure of the system, determines its qualities, and has far-reaching consequences throughout the system life cycle.…

Microservices are quite widely impacting on the software industry in recent years. Rapid evolution and continuous deployment represent specific benefits of microservice-based systems, but they may have a significant impact on non-functional…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as the next big wave of digital presence for billions of devices on the Internet. Smart Cities are practical manifestation of IoT, with the goal of efficient, reliable and safe delivery of city…
