Technological advancements in the semiconductor industry over the last few decades made the mass production of very small-scale computing devices possible. Thanks to the compactness and mobility of these devices, they can be deployed “pervasively”, in other words, everywhere and anywhere – such as in smart homes, logistics, e-commerce, and medical technology. Embedding the small-scale devices i...

As the volume and interconnectedness of corporate data grows, data quality is becoming a business competency essential to success. Existing methods for managing data quality do not scale up to large volumes of data in a way that is directly manageable by the owner of the data. For the past two years a new breed of data quality products, built on applied AI techniques, are empowering non-technic...

Business processes are facing increasing pressure to quickly and flexibly adapt to changes in the process context. Moreover, microservices are becoming increasingly popular as an architectural style for partitioning business logic into small services accessible with lightweight mechanisms, leading to increasing pressure for a more dynamic integration of information services with processes. Proc...

Lightweight cryptographic primitives are essential for securing pervasive embedded devices like RFID tags, smart cards, and wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, we present a lightweight stream cipher WG-8, which is tailored from the well-known Welch-Gong (WG) stream cipher family, for resource-constrained devices. WG-8 inherits the good randomness and cryptographic properties of the WG stream ...

New kind of mobile lightweight devices can run full scale applications with same comfort as on desktop devices only with several limitations. One of them is insufficient transfer speed on wireless connectivity. Main area of interest is in a model of a radio-frequency based system enhancement for locating and tracking users of a mobile information system. The experimental framework prototype use...

We concentrate on the use of ontologies for the categorization of objects, e.g., photos, books, web pages. Lightweight ontologies are ontologies with a tree structure where each node is associated a natural language label. Faceted lightweight ontologies are lightweight ontologies where the labels of nodes are organized according to certain predefined patterns which capture different aspects of ...
