The design and development process for Internet of Things (IoT) applications is more complicated than for desktop, mobile, or web applications. IoT applications require both software and hardware to work together across multiple different types of nodes (e.g., microcontrollers, system-on-chips, mobile phones, miniaturised single-board computers, and cloud platforms) with different capabilities under different conditions. IoT applications typically collect and analyse personal data that can be used to derive sensitive information about individuals. Without proper privacy protections in place, IoT applications could lead to serious privacy violations. Thus far, privacy concerns have not been explicitly considered in software engineering processes when designing and developing IoT applications, partly due to a lack of tools, technologies, and guidance. This paper presents a research vision that argues the importance of developing a privacy-aware IoT application design tool to address the challenges mentioned above. This tool should not only transform IoT application designs into privacy-aware application designs but also validate and verify them. First, we outline how this proposed tool should work in practice and its core functionalities. Then, we identify research challenges and potential directions towards developing the proposed tool. We anticipate that this proposed tool will save many engineering hours which engineers would otherwise need to spend on developing privacy expertise and applying it. We also highlight the usefulness of this tool towards privacy education and privacy compliance.

Privacy by Design (PbD) is the most common approach followed by software developers who aim to reduce risks within their application designs, yet it remains commonplace for developers to retain little conceptual understanding of what is meant by priv acy. A vision is to develop an intelligent privacy assistant to whom developers can easily ask questions in order to learn how to incorporate different privacy-preserving ideas into their IoT application designs. This paper lays the foundations toward developing such a privacy assistant by synthesising existing PbD knowledge so as to elicit requirements. It is believed that such a privacy assistant should not just prescribe a list of privacy-preserving ideas that developers should incorporate into their design. Instead, it should explain how each prescribed idea helps to protect privacy in a given application design context-this approach is defined as Explainable Privacy. A total of 74 privacy patterns were analysed and reviewed using ten different PbD schemes to understand how each privacy pattern is built and how each helps to ensure privacy. Due to page limitations, we have presented a detailed analysis in [3]. In addition, different real-world Internet of Things (IoT) use-cases, including a healthcare application, were used to demonstrate how each privacy pattern could be applied to a given application design. By doing so, several knowledge engineering requirements were identified that need to be considered when developing a privacy assistant. It was also found that, when compared to other IoT application domains, privacy patterns can significantly benefit healthcare applications. In conclusion, this paper identifies the research challenges that must be addressed if one wishes to construct an intelligent privacy assistant that can truly augment software developers capabilities at the design phase.
In this paper, we propose a refinement-based adaptation approach for the architecture of distributed group communication support applications. Unlike most of previous works, our approach reaches implementable, context-aware and dynamically adaptable architectures. To model the context, we manage simultaneously four parameters that influence Qos provided by the application. These parameters are: the available bandwidth, the exchanged data communication priority, the energy level and the available memory for processing. These parameters make it possible to refine the choice between the various architectural configurations when passing from a given abstraction level to the lower level which implements it. Our approach allows the importance degree associated with each parameter to be adapted dynamically. To implement adaptation, we switch between the various configurations of the same level, and we modify the state of the entities of a given configuration when necessary. We adopt the direct and mediated Producer- Consumer architectural styles and graphs for architecture modelling. In order to validate our approach we elaborate a simulation model.
The balance between protecting users privacy while providing cost-effective devices that are functional and usable is a key challenge in the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) industry. While in traditional desktop and mobile contexts the primary us er interface is a screen, in IoT screens are rare or very small, which invalidate most of the traditional approaches. We examine how end-users interact with IoT products and how those products convey information back to the users, particularly `what is going on with regards to their data. We focus on understanding what the breadth of IoT, privacy, and ubiquitous computing literature tells us about how individuals with average technical expertise can be notified about the privacy-related information of the spaces they inhabit in an easily understandable way. In this survey, we present a review of the various methods available to notify the end-users while taking into consideration the factors that should be involved in the notification alerts within the physical domain. We identify five main factors: (1) data type, (2) data usage, (3) data storage, (4) data retention period, and (5) notification method. The survey also includes literature discussing individuals reactions and their potentials to provide feedback about their privacy choices as a response to the received notification. The results of this survey highlight the most effective mechanisms for providing awareness of privacy and data-use-practices in the context of IoT in shared spaces.

System of systems engineering seeks to analyze, design and deploy collections of systems that together can flexibly address an array of complex tasks. In the Complex Adaptive System Composition and Design Environment program, we developed network ope rads as a tool for designing and tasking systems of systems, and applied them to domains including maritime search and rescue. The network operad formalism offers new ways to handle changing levels of abstraction in system-of-system design and tasking.

Many different tagsets are used in existing corpora; these tagsets vary according to the objectives of specific projects (which may be as far apart as robust parsing vs. spelling correction). In many situations, however, one would like to have unifor m access to the linguistic information encoded in corpus annotations without having to know the classification schemes in detail. This paper describes a tool which maps unstructured morphosyntactic tags to a constraint-based, typed, configurable specification language, a ``standard tagset. The mapping relies on a manually written set of mapping rules, which is automatically checked for consistency. In certain cases, unsharp mappings are unavoidable, and noise, i.e. groups of word forms {sl not} conforming to the specification, will appear in the output of the mapping. The system automatically detects such noise and informs the user about it. The tool has been tested with rules for the UPenn tagset cite{up} and the SUSANNE tagset cite{garside}, in the framework of the EAGLESfootnote{LRE project EAGLES, cf. cite{eagles}.} validation phase for standardised tagsets for European languages.
