abstract
Since smart cities aim at becoming self-monitoring and self-response systems, their deployment relies on close resource monitoring through large-scale urban sensing. The subsequent gathering of massive amounts of data makes essential the development of event-filtering mechanisms that enable the selection of what is relevant and trustworthy. Due to the rise of mobile event producers, location information has become a valuable filtering criterion, as it not only offers extra information on the described event, but also enhances trust in the producer. Implementing mechanisms that validate the quality of location information becomes then imperative. The lack of such strategies in cloud architectures compels the adoption of new communication schemes for Internet of Things (IoT)-based urban services. To serve the demand for location verification in urban event-based systems (DEBS), we have designed three different fog architectures that combine proximity and cloud communication. We have used network simulations with realistic urban traces to prove that the three of them can correctly identify between 73% and 100% of false location claims

Fine granularity and adaptive cache update mechanism for client caching. IEEE systems journal, june 2019, vol. 13, n° 2, pp. 1587 -1598
abstract
Distributed file systems have been commonly used as the back end to provide high-performance I/O services for hosting complicated data processing, such as database workloads. By buffering the frequently used data in the local file cache, which is called the client caching mechanism, can reduce the I/O latency and improve the performance of file access. However, the overhead and complexity for ensuring data consistency may offset the performance benefits caused by data caching. This paper proposes an adaptive, per-block cache update mechanism, which can ensure data consistency of block data in a distributed file system, with low synchronization overhead. Specifically, based on the recent history of read/write requests, the proposed scheme can adaptively select the best-suited consistency update policy for each data block at run time. The experiments on database applications show that our newly proposed mechanism can greatly reduce the overhead resulted by maintaining cache consistency, especially for the workloads having fluctuating read/write ratios. As a consequence, the system performance can be also enhanced

Logs and enterprise networks for overcoming obstacles in business processes. Computing, march 2019, vol. 101, n° 3, pp. 263-288
abstract
This paper discusses obstacle tackling in the context of business processes, in general, and social business processes, in particular. Obstacles are situations that could evolve into exceptions, if they are not efficiently and promptly (i.e., no preventive measures taken) tackled. Compared to obstacles, exceptions put a business process in a suspension mode until corrective measures are taken, which does not help ensure operation continuity. To address this lack of continuity, a two-stage approach for obstacle tackling using specialized enterprise networks is presented. The approach consists of (i) an early business-process obstacle detection technique based on logs and enterprise networks, and (ii) obstacle tackling technique based on solutions that result from network crawling. A system demonstrating the feasibility and efficiency of the approach through a real dataset, is presented in the paper as well

An approach to design smart grids and their IT system by cosimulation. MODELSWARD 2019: 7th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development, Setúbal : SCITEPRESS, 20-22 february 2019, Prague, Czech Republic, 2019, pp. 372-379, ISBN 978-989-758-358-2
abstract
Smart grids are the oncoming generation of power grids, which rely on information and communication technologies to tackle decentralized and intermittent energy sources such as wind farms and photovoltaic plants. They integrate electronics, software information processing and telecommunications technical domains. Therefore the design of smart grids is complex because of the various technical domains and modeling tools at stake. In this article, we present an approach to their design, which relies on model driven engineering, executable models and FMI based cosimulation. This approach is illustrated on the use case of an insular power grid and allows to study the impact of power production decisions
