Virtual research environments are systems called to serve the needs of their designated communities of practice. Every community of practice is a group of people dynamically aggregated by the willingness to collaborate to address a given research question. The Virtual Research Environment provides its users with seamless access to the resources of...
Service composition and supporting transactions across composed services are among the major challenges characterizing service-oriented computing. REpresentational State Transfer (REST) is one of the approaches used for implementing Web services that is gaining momentum thanks to its features making it suitable for cloud computing and microservices...

The open science movement is promising to revolutionise the way science is conducted with the goal to make it more fair, solid and democratic. This revolution is destined to remain just a wish if it is not supported by changes in culture and practices as well as in enabling technologies. This paper describes the D4Science offerings to enact open sc...
Important changes have characterised research and knowledge production in recent decades. These changes are associated with developments in information technologies and infrastructures. The processes characterising research and knowledge production are changing through the digitalisation of science, the virtualisation of research communities and ne...
Research Data represent a valuable assets in science as well as in our society. Their management requires the development and operation of Research Data Infrastructures, i.e. complex and distributed systems specifically conceived to address the needs arising in Research Data collection, collation, processing and publishing. The development of such...
Digital Humanities Infrastructures (DHIs) are research infrastructures supporting researchers in the field of humanities by providing ICT tools and facilities for performing their studies and investigation activities. A DHI typically serves either researchers of one specific sector of humanities (e.g. history, archaeology) or focused research group...

Given the increasing availability of many devices in our daily environments, distributed user interfaces are becoming more and more used. However, they raise many issues related to security, which current frameworks for distributed user interfaces have yet to address adequately. We present a solution for this purpose, able to exploit public key cer...
In this paper we present a framework and associated runtime support for flexible user interface distribution in multidevice and multi-user environments. It supports distribution across dynamic sets of devices, and does not require the use of a fixed server. The distribution updates are processed taking in account device types and user roles. We als...
