Within the Internet of Things software controlled sensors, actuators and smart objects enable a close coupling of the cyber and physical worlds. Introducing workflows into these cyber-physical sys- tems (CPS) promises advantages regarding automation, resource utilization and flexibility of control systems. In this work, ...

Platforms are becoming an increasingly important part of today’s and future innovations. However, from a privacy and security, as well as from a societal perspective, closed proprietary platforms, the currently dominant form, possess certain potentially problematic features. This is why many call for open ecosystem ...

Technologies for the IoT have reached a high level of maturity, and a large-scale deployment will soon be possible. For the IoT to become an economic success, easy access to all kinds of real-world information must be enabled. Assuming that not all services will be available for free, an IoT infrastructure should support ...

Wie können vernetzte Produkte für das „Smart Home“ unter Einbeziehung von Verwenderinnen und Verwendern gestaltet werden? Der Beitrag diskutiert diese Frage unter Rückgriff auf das Konzept „situierter Daten“, das in einer methodischen Kombination von Sensordaten und den sozialen Praktiken der Akteure und Akteurinnen ...

The Internet of Things (IoT), with its ubiquitous sensors and actuators, enables highly useful novel use cases, notably in the field of digital assistance. It also raises unprecedented privacy and security issues. This contribution presents a reference architecture for an ecosystem of digital assistants with minimal ...

The digital transformation of our society changes the way we live, work, learn, communicate, and collaborate. This disruptive change drive current and next information processes and systems that are important business enablers for the context of digitization since years. Our aim is to support flexibility and agile ...

Die These des Workshops „Digitale Kulturen“ lautet, dass Menschen ihre Kommunikation dem Medium anpassen, durch das sie kommunizieren. Gilt das auch für Kollektive, ändert sich also die gesellschaftliche Kommunikation, wenn die Digitalisierung dieser Gesellschaft proklamiert wird? Dieser Frage gehe ich anhand der ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has a significant impact on agriculture. So-called Smart Farming uses drones and a variety of sensors to measure climate, irrigation, soil moisture or GPS position. With this rapid influx of technology increases the threat that vulnerabilities in those technologies are being exploited for ...

Workflows can be a useful means to formalize and enact processes among the sensors, actuators, smart objects and humans in Cyber-physical Systems (CPS). However, the dynamic nature of CPS and their resource constraint entities require the workflows and Workflow Management Systems (WfMSes) to be resilient and self-adaptive ...

Metaproteomics is the biological research of proteins of whole communities comprised of thousands of species using tandem mass spectrometry. But still it follows a sequential non parallelizable workflow. Hence, researchers have to wait for hours or even days until the measurement data are available. In our demo, we show ...
