The industrial sector is being impacted by the Internet of Things due to the increasing availability of computing and communication capabilities in a wide range of devices and equipment deployed in the shop floor. This requires substantial architectural and functional improvements in order to actually manage and exploit the potential of such smart components. The EU FP7 IoT@Work project aims at addressing...
Resource and information protection plays a relevant role in distributed systems. Most of the currently proposed authorization frameworks do not provide scalable, manageable, effective, and efficient mechanisms to support distributed systems with many interacting services. The advent of IoT will further increase the need for scalable and manageable solutions able to face the potentially unbound number...
This paper describes an on-going research and development activity to implement a semantic-based Partner Search service for supporting companies in a supply chain network configuration as one of the key elements of a comprehensive architecture with the aim of supporting collaborative design, planning and manufacturing for highly customised goods. The Partner Search service is the module in charge...
Increasing requirements for the resilience, security, adaptation, intelligence and scalability of complex business critical systems have set new challenges for system developers and application designers. Messaging infrastructures are often used to implement systems of this type. We provide an overview of the main advances in the adaptive security, security metrics, vulnerability discovery, anomaly...
