As a consequence of the growing popularity of smart mobile devices, mobile malware is clearly on the rise, with attackers targeting valuable user information and exploiting vulnerabilities of the mobile ecosystems. With the emergence of large-scale mobile botnets, smartphones can also be used to launch attacks on mobile networks. The NEMESYS project will develop novel security technologies for ...

Safeguarding the benefits that ecosystems provide to society is increasingly included as a target in international policies. To support such policies, ecosystem service maps are made. However, there is little attention for the accuracy of these maps. We made a systematic review and quantitative comparison of ecosystem service maps on the European scale to generate insights in the uncertainty of...

Middleware platforms such as CORBA are widely considered as a promising technology path towards a universal service market. For now, however, no mechanisms are offered for dynamically integrating service-specific code (so-called smart proxies) at the client which is a major prerequisite for the development of generic clients that may connect to different service implementations offering differe...

Over the past 50 years, human beings have influenced ecosystems more rapidly than at any similar time in human history, drastically altering ecosystem functioning. Along with ecosystem transformation and degradation, a number of studies have addressed the functioning, assessment and management of ecosystems. The concept of ecosystem services has been developed in the scientific literature since...

This study aims to present the processes and mechanisms of creating smart city ecosystems by examining complex strategic choices interactions among stakeholders operating at different levels governance engagement. Based on literature review in-depth analyses a case (Lublin, Eastern Poland), we demonstrate that implementation tailored thinking using adaptation global trends, exploitation develop...

The main goal of the study is development of the classification framework of smart service attributes as a first step in developing methodology of smart services implementation for Enterprise Information Portal (EIP) maintenance. First, we analyze available definitions of the “smart services” concept and concepts related to it: smart services are based on the idea of co-creation of value and re...
