Trustworthy Green IoT Software

Through applied research in Software Engineering, we create new tools and methodologies for software development and operation of intelligent and trustworthy systems spanning across the IoT, edge, and cloud continuum with a particular focus on sustainability. We theorize, develop and apply methods and tools addressing these aspects, contributing together with our partners to a safer and better digital society. Our main research interests are as follows:

• Software Engineering: Focusing on the development of robust methodologies and practices to enhance the creation and maintenance of high-quality software systems.
• Cybersecurity: Specializing in the implementation of advanced security protocols and strategies to protect software systems from cyber threats.
• Software for Self-Adaptive Systems: Exploring the design and implementation of software capable of autonomously adapting to changing environments and requirements.
• Secure IoT Data Exchange: Assuring security and fostering confidence for IoT data sharing (aligned with standards) will enable secure data exchange between various parties along the IoT devices-Edge-Cloud computing continuum, the larger societal benefits of the IoT can be achieved.
• Data Quality: Develop software engineering and AI tools for data quality monitoring, metrics, and repair.
• Data Sovereignty: Researching acceptable use policies for data assets, privacy management, data economics, and establishing data sovereignty through federated data spaces. Data sovereignty enables an individual or an organization to control how, when, and at what price its data is used across the value chain.
• Smart IoT Software: Developing intelligent software solutions for IoT devices, emphasizing seamless integration and operational efficiency.
• Edge Computing: Researching the optimization of software for edge computing environments to enhance data processing and reduce latency.
• Privacy: Implementing trustworthiness methods to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of data within software systems. 
• Security Risk Management: Applying comprehensive risk management frameworks to identify, assess, and mitigate security risks in software development and deployment.
• AI Engineering: Advancing the field of AI through the development of reliable and efficient AI systems, with a focus on integrating AI methodologies into software engineering practices and enhancing the trustworthiness of AI applications in terms of safety, privacy and security.
