Dependability and Performance Evaluation of Services and Computational Infrastructures in Smart Environments. 2023 – Present.

Description: The evolution of computer systems, communication systems, mobile devices, and sensing technology enables the development of dynamic systems of high complexity and added value. People and organizations thus depend on the services provided by information technologies, and criteria such as efficiency, availability, reliability, energy consumption, and cost are essential requirements for the adequate development of activities in current society. A significant part of the activities of computer and communication systems are managed by a set of operational rules subject to discrete events. Systems with these characteristics, belonging to the class of dynamic systems, are classified as Discrete Event Systems (DES). The study of DES is a complex task that involves knowledge of control; functional modeling, analysis and verification of qualitative properties; performance, dependability, and their joint evaluation, called performability. The general objective of this research project is to investigate the implementation of smart city and smart campus technologies from the perspective of (i) performance, dependability, and performability evaluation and (ii) data security and privacy. As cities and campuses become more connected and digital, it is essential to ensure not only the efficient performance of infrastructures and systems, but also the security and privacy of collected and shared data, in addition to developing effective strategies for the management and planning of computational and communication infrastructures. The adopted methodology is based on good project management practices, considering innovation and scientific research issues. Thus, phases, milestones, and deliverables are defined and reflected in the project’s physical timeline.
