Smart urban transportation management can be considered as a multifaceted big data challenge. It strongly relies on the information collected into multiple, widespread, and heterogeneous sources well ability to extract actionable insights from them. Besides data, full stack (from platform services applications) Information Communications Technology (ICT) solutions need specifically adopted address smart cities challenges. is one of key use cases addressed in context EUBra-BIGSEA...
With the increasing popularity of cloud computing model and rapid proliferation infrastructures there are concerns about energy consumption consequent impact as a contributor to global CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> emissions. To date, little is known how incorporate into application development deployment decision models. In this respect, paper describes an eco-aware approach that relies on definition, monitoring...
The combination of data and technology is having a high impact on the way we live. world getting smarter thanks to quantity collected analyzed data. However, it necessary consider that such amount continuously increasing deal with novel requirements related variety, volume, velocity, veracity issues. In this paper focus presence uncertain or imprecise data: errors, missing invalid can compromise usefulness values. scenario, new methods techniques able evaluate quality available are needed....
Energy effciency of data centers is gaining importance as energy consumption and carbon footprint awareness are rising. Green Performance Indicators (GPIs) provide measurable means to assess the a resource or system. Most metrics commonly used today measure potential resource, system application usage, rather than actual usage. In this paper, we argue that way resources systems actually in given center configuration at least important raw systems. Hence, for effciency, suggest both select...
Concerns about energy and sustainability are growing everyday involving a wide range of fields. Even Information Systems (ISs) being influenced by the issue reducing pollution consumption new fields rising dealing with this topic. One these is Green Technology (IT), which deals efficiency focus on IT. Researchers have faced problem according to several points view. The purpose paper understand trends future development IT analyzing state-of-the-art classifying existing approaches components...
Modern cloud applications are required to be distributed, scalable, and reliable. The microservice architectural style enables developers achieve this goal with reduced effort. Nonetheless, microservices deployment is not trivial due the heterogeneity of in terms both functional non-functional requirements. This also true when considering monitoring requirements that specific each must satisfied order enable verification application objectives satisfaction. However, all providers offer same...
This paper presents a novel approach to characterise applications with respect their energy consumption by using set of energy-related metrics, called Green Metrics. These indicators are based on measurements, such as indices computing resource usage, environmental impact, development costs required (re)design an application in order optimise its footprint, and organisational factors related management. Our is framed the Active Management Energy IT Service Centres (GAMES) EU project,...
Green IT mainly focuses on techniques to extend the products longevity or virtualise physical resources as well provision of energy efficient hardware infrastructures. Less attention has been paid applications that run machines and their impact consumption. This paper proposes an approach for enabling use driven by design energy-aware business processes. Energy-awareness is given enrichment a typical Business Process conceptual model with annotations able support assessment consumption...
In the context of health and social care, it is important to provide assistance individuals in their own home by coordinating activities several actors. The coordination processes different organizations a complex task which requires continuous attention. Process mining techniques have been widely used discover hidden information useful understand behaviour single process. Thanks spread Internet Things (IoT), this activity can benefit also from huge amount data collected for other purposes....
Cloud computing has a big impact on the environment since energy consumption and resulting CO2 emissions of data centers can be compared to worldwide airlines traffic. Many researchers are addressing such issue by proposing methods techniques increase center efficiency. Focusing at application level, this paper proposes method support process design optimizing configuration deployment. In particular, measuring monitoring suitable metrics, presented approach provides designer select way in...
The increasing utilization of cloud resources raises several issues related to their environmental impact and, more in general, sustainability. Recently, most the contributions have focused on energy efficiency achieved through a better physical and virtual resource management. present paper considers instead application level, extending focus reduction CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> emissions execution applications....
The widespread adoption of cloud computing is having a big impact on the environment since energy consumption data centers and resulting emissions are significantly increasing.Researchers practitioners in this field looking for methods to improve efficiency increase use green sources.In fact, besides consumption, greenness center can be characterized by quantity CO 2 associated with electricity (from specific mix) and/or fuels (e.g., heating or cooling).In paper, we propose an approach which...
As cities are becoming green and smart, public information systems being revamped to adopt digital technologies. There several sources (official or not) that can provide related a city. The availability of multiple enables the design advanced analyses for offering valuable services both citizens municipalities. However, such would fail if considered data were affected by errors uncertainties: Data Quality is one main requirements successful exploitation available information. This paper...
