In many professional activities, the ability to retrieve and store knowledge in a mobile situation is crucial. This need, together with the progress of mobile devices, has led to the emergence of mobile knowledge management. In this paper, we propose a context-aware knowledge management architecture for mobile environments and apply it to an auditing use case. We developed the MobileAudit proto...

This paper reports on our current eeort for applying probabilistic path planning techniques to logistics and operation in huge industrial installations (e.g., power plants). We show how the speciic domain constraints impose a dedicated software architecture to take advantage of the generality of probabilistic approaches. In addition, such an architecture should be compatible with existing CAD s...

Abstract The article analyses the role of smart contracts in architecture European Union’s Data Act proposal. It identifies five difficulties: lack flexibility terms both content and operation; dependence on oracles which could lead to errors; vulnerability bugs changes architecture; immutability privacy; problems enforcement. then offers some recommendations about how address them improve Act.

The output and experience of a large European project in Electronic Brokerage called "Generic Architecture for Information Availability" (GAIA) is presented. The paper describes a reference model and functional architecture for value-added mediation in Electronic Commerce. The customers are provided with a uniform way of accessing heterogeneous suppliers without changes in the supplier software...

GSM, the Global System for Mobile communications, is a digital cellular communications system which has rapidly gained acceptance and market share worldwide, although it was initially developed in a European context. In addition to digital transmission, GSM incorporates many advanced services and features, including ISDN compatibility and worldwide roaming in other GSM networks. The advanced se...

In the near future, the high volume of content together with new emerging and mission critical applications is expected to stress the Internet to such a degree that it will possibly not be able to respond adequately to its new role. This challenge has motivated many groups and research initiatives worldwide to search for structural modifications to the Internet architecture in order to be able ...

In the scope of the REWIND European Research Program we propose a Multi-Hop Relay network architecture, based on the recently developed IEEE 802.16j standard with the aim of enhancing throughput, network coverage and capacity density. In particular, we provide an essential description of the Relay Station Software architecture design, mainly focused on the PHY and MAC layers architecture, by an...

Good decision support requires good information. A key aspect of good information is that it is credible. Presently, architecture frameworks and methods within systems engineering often lacks support for mediating the credibility of the analyses made. This paper presents a method for enterprise architecture analyses that employs an evidential reasoning algorithm for multi-attribute decision ana...
