This position paper discusses the use of Digital Semantics, ontologies, and automata in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Digital Semantics represents a potential new definition and paradigm for simulating human intelligence within a machine. Integrating this paradigm with other AI research approaches can significantly enhance the future of...

p>Although there is a large interest about internet of things (IoT) architectures, still there is no consensus on their conceptualization in the extant literature. This lack of information in conceptualization is problematic because it hampers the deep understanding of the appeared proposals, as well as the adoption of a shared workflow by the invo...

Lighting Systems (LSs) play a fundamental role in almost every aspect of human activities. Since the advent of lights, both academia and industry have been engaged in raising the quality of the service offered by these systems. The advent of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting represented a giant step forward for such systems in terms of light qual...

The internet of things (IoT) refers to a network of physical devices that are embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity, allowing them to collect and share data. The devices are the core of any IoT ecosystem. Browsing the extant literature, it emerges that the meaning of the term device depends on the reference context. It follows t...

Internet of things (IoT) is a complex ecosystem of connected devices that exchange data over a network and whose final aim is to provide services. The total number of installed connected devices is expected to grow exponentially in the near future. Analogously, the number of IoT-related studies published every year is constantly increasing. This hu...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a complex ecosystem of connected devices that exchange data over a wired or wireless network and whose final aim is to provide services either to humans or machines. The IoT has seen rapid development over the past decade. The total number of installed connected devices is expected to grow exponentially in the near f...

SMEs form the backbone of the economy of most countries all over the world. Increasing their performance is therefore essential to increase the well-being of peoples. The adoption of digital technologies is universally recognized an essential component to achieve this objective. Unfortunately, European SMEs are lagging behind in the transition to d...

Model-Driven Engineering is largely recognized as the most powerful method for the design of complex software. This study deals with the automated archival of metadata about the content of UML class diagrams (a particularly relevant category of models) into a pre-existing repository. To define the structure of the repository, we started from the de...

A relevant goal of Software Engineering is to assure the quality of object oriented software. Among existing models for iterative and incremental development of software systems, Model Driven Architecture (MDA) has reached a leadership position. MDA enables model-driven software development which treats models as primary development artefacts. The...

Today, Web and Mobile applications play an important role in any Information System (IS). Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) need these applications to digitalise themselves and be competitive in a globalised world. However, developing Web applications is a challenging goal. Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is a well-known process for the dev...

A relevant goal of software engineering is to assure the quality of object oriented software from the conceptual modeling phase. UML Class diagrams constitute a key artifact at that stage. Among existing models for iterative and incremental development of software systems, Model Driven Architecture (MDA) has reached a leadership position. MDA enabl...

Many scholars have reported that the adoption of Model Driven Engineering (MDE) in the industry is still marginal. Real-life case studies, completed with convincing empirical data about the quality of the developed source code, is an effective way to persuade the industry that the adoption of MDE brings an actual added value. This paper reports abo...

Context: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the economy of most countries. There is large evidence in the literature that digitalisation improves the market performance of enterprises and, as a consequence, it helps the growth of their businesses. Aims: The present position paper sketches the authors’ vision about an IT i...

As Web applications become more and more complex, the development costs are increasing as well. A Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach is proposed in this paper since it simplifies modeling, design, implementation, and integration of applications by defining software mainly at the model level. We adopt the The Unified Modeling Language (UML), a...

A measurement-based context is a working environment where measurements, i.e. quantitative information from measured quantities, represent a fundamental component and are relevant for behaviours, decisions and scenario modelling. In this paper, it is presented the application of a RUP instance for measurement based context to a real industrial case...

Measurements represent a fundamental component of Enterprise Information Systems and they play a key role in organizations. Their own languages, concepts and techniques, concerning how to approach and solve problems in industrial scenarios, inevitably characterize these two disciplines. The practical meaning of metrological concepts is often partia...

A measurement-based context is a working environment where measurements, i.e. quantitative information from measured quantities, represent a fundamental component and are relevant for behaviors, decisions and scenario modeling. In such a context, the Rational Unified Process has been customized in order to improve the methodological approach for th...

Measurements represent a fundamental component of Enterprise Information Systems and they play a key role in organizations. Their own languages, concepts and techniques, concerning how to approach and solve problems in modern industrial scenarios, inevitably characterize these two disciplines. This is why the question we posed is to get a methodolo...

The present contribution reshapes a recently proposed software methodology by giving up the top-down philosophy being part of it, to follow a strictly model-driven engineering approach. The ultimate goal of our research is to define a methodological proposal ensuring the continuity between business modeling, system modeling, design, and implementat...

Use cases are recommended as a powerful tool to carry out applications when moving from requirements analysis to design. In this contribution, we start from a recent software methodology that has been modified to pursue a strictly model-driven engineering approach. The work focuses on relevant elements of use cases in UML modeling, adapted and exte...

In this paper, we discuss secure data transmission in a component-based system for delivery to mobile phones and digital television. We propose an extension of a previously developed content management software component in order to satisfy applications that need securely transmitted data.

The development of a new web technology rises a challenge to information engineering to identify instruments and suitable techniques for the production of web 2.0 software applications. For large enterprise solutions, designing human interactions is a complex process. Products of this design process are the bridge between business requirements and...

The proposed software component is intended to facilitate the development of interactive software for the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), mobile phones and any other digital platform. The component implements and solves some software standard issues and is the basis for the integrated development of cross-platform software. We also illustrate...
