Multi-component Cloud-Edge applications, which rely on the Internet of Things, call for suitable and sustainable management techniques. On one hand, they have to guarantee their hardware and Quality of Service requirements over large-scale Cloud-...

This position paper introduces FREEDA, a research project aimed at supporting DevOps engineers in achieving failure-resilient and sustainable deployments of microservice-based applications over the Cloud-IoT computing continuum. After providing the ...

Data sharing between organizations is becoming an ever-increasing necessity. Data sharing allows organizations to improve business processes that depend on what happens in other organizations, just as having data from other organizations can ...

Since service-oriented computing was introduced as a major topic in the industry and the research community, 20 years have passed. Today, service orientation has become a commodity in many areas. This has also changed the foci of the research community by ...

In this commentary article, we outline research challenges and possible directions for the potential applications of AI in the judicial domain by specifically considering process analysis in the Italian context. Applying AI to process analysis poses ...

The goal of this paper is to investigate to which extent the principles defined by the Data Mesh paradigm can find a valuable support in Gaia-X. In particular, an alignment between the Data Mesh self-serve platform and the Gaia-X federated ...

The collection of data during the routine delivery of care is changing the healthcare sector. Indeed, only from the clinical trial data it is difficult to obtain such a complete picture of the status of a patient as that provided by real-world ...

Being the blockchain and distributed ledger technologies particularly suitable to create trusted environments where participants do not trust each other, business process management represents a proper setting in which these technologies can be ...

Managing data produced in the Internet of Things according to the traditional data-center based approach is becoming no longer appropriate. Devices are improving their computational power as the processors installed on them are more and more ...

The efficiency and effectiveness of business processes are usually evaluated by Process Performance Indicators (PPIs), which are computed using process event logs. PPIs can be insightful only when they are measurable, i.e., reliable. ...

• Define PPI measurability in respect of the data quality of process event logs.
• ...

Aiming to break the software monoliths that traditional approaches usually produce as artifacts, solutions that are based on microservices consist of heterogeneous and independent software platforms to manage applications and data. In this ...

The ability of 5G networks to fulfill Quality of Service (QoS) constraints by properly organizing the available resources opens the possibility to rely on this type of connectivity for monitoring purposes. In fact, especially in case of a mobile ...

Nowadays, every business organization operates in ecosystems and cooperation is mandatory. If, on the one hand, this increases the opportunities for the involved organizations, on the other hand, every business partner is a potential ...

• A design-time maturity model for process models.
• A formal extension of OMG CMMN,...

Data as a Service (DaaS) organizes the data management life-cycle around the Service Oriented Computing principles. Data providers are supposed to take care not only of performing the life-cycle phases, but also of the data movements from where ...

State-of-the-art applications are typically deployed on top of cloud services which offer the illusion of infinite resources, elastic scalability, and a simple pay-per-use billing model. While this is very convenient for developers, it also comes ...

Although the definition of service-oriented architecture (SOA) included the presence of a service registry from the beginning, the first implementations (e.g., UDDI) did not really succeed mainly because of security and governance issues. This article ...

The development and maintenance of cloud sites are often characterized by energy waste and high CO2 emissions. Energy efficiency and the decrease of the CO2 emissions in cloud-based systems can be only obtained by adopting suitable actions and ...
