The Information Technology industry is characterized by a heterogeneity of platforms, devices, modalities, users with different characteristics and skills, among others, factors which have been considered as challenges to deal with when developing software. Resultantly, there is a growing number of highly complex software applications with a large variety of features.

In particular the heterogeneity of platforms and user expectations ...

DEEP-SEA (“DEEP – Software for Exascale Architectures”) will deliver the programming environment for future European exascale systems, adapting all levels of the software (SW) stack – including low-level drivers, computation and communication libraries, resource management, and programming abstractions with associated runtime systems and tools – to support highly heterogeneous compute and memory configurations and to allow code optimisation ...

My research concerns hypothesis-free exploration and visualization of high-dimensional data sets. One of the goals is to implement a quality-metric guided visualization pipeline that guides the user through the different stages of exploring hidden structures embedded in the plethora of dimensions of the data. This pipeline leverages recent advances in the field of distributed resource-sharing and computation platforms. We aim to test and ...

The rise of information systems, and especially the internet, has given service providers the opportunity to increase the number of services they can offer their customers. E-commerce platforms, such as Amazon and AliExpress, can offer their customers millions of products because they do not need shelf space to present all their products. Entertainment providers, such as Youtube, Spotify and Netflix, have millions of songs and movies from ...

Governments around the world now use information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the delivery of services and information to their users (citizens, businesses or other governmental bodies). In literature, the application of ICT in this context has been labelled as “e(lectronic)-government”. Similarly than with other industries, the governance model in government has also evolved: ICT empowered the citizens, often relegated to ...

Successful software development requires involving a large number of stakeholders in the development process. Given the large variety of backgrounds of the stakeholders it is important to offer each of them a suitable representation of the software design artefacts. While UML is today often used as universal and general-purpose language, it is crucial to move towards a multi-stakeholder perspective relying on multi-modelling and ...
