The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud computing has brought the rising of IoT Clouds able to provide different kinds of IoT as a Service solutions consisting of various micro-services deployed in IoT devices (including sensors and actuators) interacting with different Infrastructure, Platform, and Software as Service (i.e., IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) running in the Clouds' data centres. On...
Osmotic computing is a new paradigm to support the efficient execution of Internet of Things (IoT) services and applications at the network edge. This paradigm is founded on the need for a holistic distributed system abstraction enabling the deployment of lightweight microservices on resource-constrained IoT platforms at the network edge, coupled with more complex microservices running on large-scale...
This article discusses the main advantages and challenges of adopting microservices in cloud computing. The microservices architecture allows software developers to build a distributed application as a set of independent components that work together. This model isn't new, but, applied in cloud systems, it increases datacenter scalability and reliability. The authors discuss available technologies...
The advent of both Cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way of conceiving information and communication systems. Generally, we talk about IoT Cloud to indicate a new type of distributed system consisting of a set of smart objects, e.g., single board computers running Linux- based operating systems, interconnected with a remote Cloud infrastructure, platform, or software through...
The advent of both Cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way to conceive distributed systems. Nowadays, we can talk about IoT Cloud to indicate a new type of distributed system consisting of a set of smart IoT devices or sensors interconnected with a remote Cloud infrastructure, platform, or software. Energy sustainability in IoT Cloud providers offers new tempting business...
Nowadays, the combination between Cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) is pursuing new levels of efficiency in delivering services, representing a tempting business opportunity for ICT operators of increasing their revenues. However, security is seen as one of the major factors that slows down the rapid and large scale adoption and deployment of both the IoT and Cloud computing. In this paper,...

Nowadays, Assistive Technology (AT) systems are closely tied to the devices that they control. Considering a smart environment where a person with a disability needs to interact with multiple devices, the user is forced to rely on AT software tools available on the each used platform. Therefore, computer skills are required to adjust any different computing environment configuration according to the...
The increasing number of everyday embedded devices that are interconnected over the Internet leads to the need of new software solutions for managing them in an efficient, scalable, and smart way. In addition, such devices produce a huge amount of information, causing the well known Big Data problem, that need to be stored and processed. This emerging scenario, known as Internet of Things (IoT), raises...
