- Web Security: The Emperor's New Armour
- The World Wide Web originally provided no security services because it was not designed to support sensitive applications. As the Web evolved to become a platform for all types of Internet applications security mechanisms were added. Many Internet players, especially in the e-commerce sector, claim that the Web now can...

- Scalable Semantics - The Silver Lining of Cloud Computing
- Semantic inferencing and querying across large-scale RDF triple stores is notoriously slow. The objective is to expedite this process by employing Google's MapReduce framework to implement scale-out distributed querying and reasoning. This approach requires RDF graphs to be decomposed into smaller units that are distributed across computational nodes. RDF Molecules...

- User Centric Identity Management
- Identity management is traditionally seen from the service providers' point of view, meaning that it is an activity undertaken by the service provider to manage service user identities. Traditional identity management systems are designed to be cost effective and scalable primarily for the service providers, but not necessarily for the...

- Automating ContextÂ-Aware Application Development
- To develop robust, evolvable, context-aware applications that are flexible enough to reconfigure and adapt in response to changes in context such as location, connectivity, resources, security, and user preferences, a rich context model, infrastructure components, and programming paradigms are required. The development and deployment of context-aware applications can be further...

- Extending Context Models for Privacy in Pervasive Computing Environments
- Privacy is widely recognised as a significant obstacle inhibiting the adoption of context-aware applications. In order to remove this obstacle, advances are required in many areas of context-awareness research. This paper addresses the incorporation of privacy support into context models. In particular, it presents extensions to the context modelling approach...

- Modelling and Using Imperfect Context Information
- Most recently developed context-aware software applications make unrealistic assumptions about the quality of the available context information, which can lead to inappropriate actions by the application and frustration on the part of the user. This paper explores the problem of imperfect context information and some of its causes, and proposes...

- A Software Engineering Framework for Context-Aware Pervasive Computing
- There is growing interest in the use of context-awareness as a technique for developing pervasive computing applications that are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autonomously on behalf of users. However, context-awareness introduces various software engineering challenges, as well as privacy and usability concerns. This paper present a conceptual framework...
