This source of information constitutes a rich input for data analytics processes, either offline (e.g. cluster analysis, hot motion discovery) or online (e.g. short-term forecasting of forthcoming positions). This paper focuses on predictive analytics for moving objects (could be pedestrians, cars, vessels, planes, animals, etc.) and surveys the state-of-the-art in the context of future location and trajectory prediction. We provide an extensive review of over 50 works, also proposing a novel taxonomy of predictive algorithms over moving objects. We also list the properties of several real datasets used in the past for validation purposes of those works and, motivated by this, we discuss challenges that arise in the transition from conventional to Big Data applications.

These alterations can cause serious vulnerabilities to mission-critical AI-enabled applications. This work introduces an AI architecture augmented with adversarial examples and defense algorithms to safeguard, secure, and make more reliable AI systems. This can be conducted by robustifying deep neural network (DNN) classifiers and explicitly focusing on the specific case of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) used in non-trivial manufacturing environments prone to noise, vibrations, and errors when capturing and transferring data. The proposed architecture enables the imitation of the interplay between the attacker and a defender based on the deployment and cross-evaluation of adversarial and defense strategies. The AI architecture enables (i) the creation and usage of adversarial examples in th...

BigDataStack's holistic solution incorporates approaches for data-focused application analysis and dimensioning, and process modelling towards increased performance, agility and efficiency. A toolkit allowing the specification of analytics tasks in a declarative way, their integration in the data path, as well as an adaptive visualization environment, realize BigDataStack's vision of openness and extensibility.

The main objective of the dimensioning, modelling and interaction services building block of the BigDataStack environment, is to provide all the interaction mechanisms, including the Process Modelling framework, the Data Toolkit, the Dimensioning Workbench, and the Visualization environment. These are required in order to exploit the added-value services of the "underlying" BigDataStack offerings: the data-driven infrastructure management and the Data as a Service.

This is complemented with a bottom-up approach aiming to identify, collect, and analyse the rest of the stakeholder requirements as well as technical requirements from the BigDataStack technology.

The document shows how the implementation of the solution is planned to be delivered following an incremental and iterative methodology, having cycles of implementation and experimentation. The document describes: the high-level assumptions and architecture of the capability, as well as detailed requirements, design and prototypes per component; the experimental use case scenarios and plans, as well as the experimental plan per component and its mapping with the use case scenarios.

User requirements have been collected through the BigDataStack's use case providers and complemented with emerging technical requirements. They have also been tracked during the project lifetime so far to ensure that the BigDataStack platform will be fully addressed and properly considered.

This will allow the overall system to reach its full potential, in a secure and trusted manner, without impeding safety.

Moreover, it presents the priorities we set up based on Big Data Value Association (BDVA) priorities, the Innovation Strategy Plan and the IPR management approach. The first results of innovation monitoring throughout the different project activities are also presented. A section is devoted to each main building block of the architecture (i.e. data-driven infrastructure management, data-as-a-service, as well as dimensioning, modelling, and interaction services), presenting the innovation-monitored components, the related priorities, their expected innovation and the progress towards it. Another section describes the expected innovation of BigDataStack use cases and their approach. In the course of the project, the BigDataStack components and use cases will continue being monitored to ensure that the innovation potent...

During the project lifetime, twenty-one exploitable assets have been identified, eight Minimum Valuable Products (MVP), as well as three exploitable business Use Cases. Also, three patents have arisen, and a technology transfer activity is in progress. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic situation, all exploitation activities have been properly performed. All the partners have developed their exploitation plans after the project, the partners have also already achieved remarkable exploitation results during the project, such as: commercialization of Data Skipping component by IBM and the Kuryr and Infrastructure API by RHT, Use Case partners are trying to leverage the use cases prototypes with their customers, most partners are already participating together in ...

The document can be divided in four main parts. In the first one, an overview of the Supply Chains is given, describing both their classification, including three different views (business, technical and sectorial) of the SCs, and their security aspects, consisting of the threat landscape, legal framework, SC security and Risk Management standards and SC risk assessment methodology and tools. In the second part, an overview of the EU Certification schemes is provided, encompassing the general definition and requirements (policy, legal, standards, methodologies, technical) regarding the security certification. Moreover, in the third part, the document reports on the methodol...

Focusing on eye tracking data from observations of cartographic lines, in this paper we propose a new visualization of eye tracking data using polylines inferred from the analysis of samples. This visualization depicts the "average" line that is actually seen by subjects; such a line can be useful in the study of various optical representation concepts, such as the assessment of the effects of alternative cartographic line attributes, distractions, abstraction levels and more, as well as in other cases such as the study of visual computer interfaces.

The document describes the DDIM solution as assembled at M23 of the project (i.e. November 2019) in terms of updated design specifications, implementation, integration details, experimentation outcomes and next steps for the highlevel components comprising the DDIM solution: Cluster Management, Dynamic Orchestration, ADS Ranking & Deploy, Triple Monitoring & QoS Evaluation, and InformationDriven Networking. Regarding research results, it focuses on the research conducted to optimize the two components bringing artificial intelligence (AI) to the solution: the ADS Ranking—responsible for ranking and selecting the best application deployment configurations—and the Dynamic Orchestration—in charge of making re-deployment decisions. Both components make use of machine learning (ML) techn...

Mobility tracking of elderly people facilitates the extraction of useful spatiotemporal characteristics regarding their activities and behavior at home. Currently, the analysis of human mobility is based on expensive technologies. In this paper, we propose a semantic interoperability agent which exploits mobility tracking and spatiotemporal characteristics to extract human profiling and give incentives for mobilization at home. The agent exploits an extended ontology which facilitates the collation of evidence for the effects of exergaming on the movement control of older adults. In order to provide personalized monitoring services, a number of rules are individually defined to generate incentives. To evaluate the proposed semantic interoperability agent, human mobility data are collected...
