Cities are complex systems. Different stakeholders with diverse interests and intentions come from public administration, industry sectors, research, real estate, service providers, civil society organisations, etc. In order to make sound decisions for a city, decision makers need to cross thematic as well as administrative borders. Novel ways of decision making include increasing inter-organisational cooperation on the one side and more interactive formats of citizen participation on the other side. Whereas `big data' has enormous potential to support these developments from an information systems' perspective, they also raise concerns about the possibility of misleading data interpretations or unnecessary privacy violations. This paper presents conceptual design recommendations including principles of value sensitive data selection and the contextual integrity of data interpretation.

This paper describes how and why a Centre of Excellence for HPC and Engineering should be established and showcases the added value for its potential users. We list the necessary elements for creating a baseline and we describe the roles the different stakeholders of such a Centre are called to play. The Centre brings together (HPC) Resource Providers, Application/Code Owners and Business specialists to support the growing amount of new engineering applications, as well as re-usage and adaptation of already available applications by new user groups. The impact on the larger European community can be summarised as: reduced costs and more high-skilled jobs. Both, a result of a smoother, more economic workflow from design and testing to manufacturing/building.

In this work, we present an implementation of a hybrid cloud storage system. The proposed system uses VM-based approach of on-demand resource provisioning of private cloud resources and third party public cloud providers such as Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure. In order to incorporate storage components of heterogeneous types, we use CDMI protocol as an integration tool. Upon this, we developed a front-end application that provides users with transparent access to the storage system and offers file management and collaboration tools. The paper describes key technologies and middleware solutions for monitoring and managing the storage servers. Also, we describe how the proposed system can make an impact by providing optimized cloud storage solution for SMEs as well as large industries.

Open Data promise to create new market opportunities and social value. In particular, geospatial data have a potentially huge inner value. But to unleash their potential, data need to be not only open but also effectively usable. The present paper describes the concept and implementation of the Virtual Hubs developed in the ENERGIC-OD European project. The Virtual Hubs facilitate the use of geospatial open data, providing seamless discovery of and access to heterogeneous data sources, also providing semantic capabilities and dataset transformations. Virtual Hubs lower the entry barriers for both data providers and users facilitating open data publication and exploitation. Through open Web APIs, they reduce the development time for Web and mobile applications based on geospatial open data, supporting the creation of innovative services and the generation of new market opportunities.

The EU project BioMedBridges has built an infrastructure to allow interoperability between data and services in the biological, medical, translational and clinical research domains. Most databases in research infrastructures employ some form of data curation and data protection or are in the process of developing one. However, by enabling interoperability between infrastructures and by linking and merging different databases, data protection is lifted to a new and higher level. Openly accessible bio-molecular and structural data may become linked to data that is and has to remain protected, such as patient data. To address this challenge, using a novel approach, concepts from computer science were employed to create legal requirements clusters for data sharing. First, legal interoperability is defined as a specification of the general interoperability concept; second, data bridges are interpreted as interfaces; third, requirements engineering were used to create requirement clusters for data protection/ privacy, data security, Intellectual Property (IP) and licenses and security of biosamples. The requirement clusters were applied to a usage scenario of a cross-species phenotypic data bridge employing data amendments, phenotypic metadata and data linkage. All combined requirement clusters represent a knowledge base that can be added to workflow applications, software tools or databases to inform researchers about legally compliant data sharing.

Increasing the energy efficiency and meanwhile avoiding unplanned maintenance breaks are keys for manufacturing companies to stay competitive in the future. This paper presents an energy saving and maintenance cost reducing approach for manufacturing environments. The approach describes first occurring types of energy wastage within manufacturing and characterizes them in more detail. Including additional external information, the significance of an identified on-going wastage can be determined. Based on the type of wastage and the significance; concrete recommendations for measures to prevent the wastage are delivered. The identified wastage facilitates detecting inefficient operating mode as well as wearing and malfunctioning at machines. By using complex event processing technologies realtime information can forwarded directly to the responsible persons to enable quick reactions to prevent energy wastage and unplanned downtimes. The paper presents an approach to identify detection and propose concepts for manufacturing enterprises. The information processing procedure is used for the implementation of two Use Cases.

This paper presents a tool, called SAVE, developed on the ADOxx meta-modelling platform, to implement a dual approach to specify and verify the requirements for secure movements of processes in distributed mobile real-time systems. For specification, a process algebra, called ö-Calculus, was visualized to define the movements of processes on a conceptual geographical space. For verification, a first-order logic, called GTS logic, was visualized to define the dependencies among the movements. Both visualization methods make the specification and verification of the systems more comprehensible and configurable. All the necessary visualization capabilities were fully supported by the graphical facilities of ADOxx. SAVE can be considered to be one of the unique tools for visualization of requirements and verification of the movements in the systems.

This contribution introduces an approach for engaging television viewers through second screen devices and dynamic contextual social communities. This approach is being developed as part of a large European research project. It introduces the concept of dynamic contextual social communities for augmenting television viewing when using a combination of smart televisions and smart second screen devices such as smartphones or tablet devices. The contribution describes technical factors, in particular source data characteristics and different candidate algorithms under consideration. It furthermore describes expected user and business benefits dynamic social communities in second screen television viewing settings and outlines upcoming work building on the general concept of dynamic contextual social communities.

Today's generation of Internet-connected devices has changed the way users are interacting with media, exchanging their role from passive and unidirectional to proactive and interactive. Under this new role, users are able to comment or rate a TV show and search for information regarding characters, facts, multimedia content or any other related material. This work describes a new approach on the description of media content assets focusing on the content and information linking aspects. In addition, it presents a novel media content enrichment and management framework, which uses the aforementioned media description approach to address the requirements of the modern, social and semantically enabled content production and delivery environments. The proposed solution exploits the latest technical and technological advancements for semantic annotation, content linking and customisation in the frame of a platform that realises the effective, personalised and social-aware content syndication for first and second screen devices.
