A Bibliometric Review of the Evolution of Building Information Modeling (BIM)...Khaled gharib
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a powerful tool that
allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to
create detailed 3D models of buildings, which contain a wealth
data about the physical characteristics and attributes of the
project, one of the key benefits that it allows stakeholders to
visualize the project in great detail, which can help identify
potential problems or inefficiencies before construction even
begins. However, BIM data is static and does not reflect
changes or updates that occur after construction is complete.
As the construction industry continues to modernize, Building
Information Modeling (BIM) has become a staple in the design
and construction phases of a project. The widespread adoption
of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the recent
emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) applications offer several
new insights and decision-making capabilities throughout the
life cycle of the built environment. In recent years, the ability of
real-time connectivity to online sensors deployed in an
environment has led to the emergence of the concept of the
Digital Twin of the built environment. This is where the concept
of the digital twin has emerged to revolutionize the way
buildings are managed and operated throughout their entire
lifecycle. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset or
system that incorporates real-time data from sensors and other
sources, by connecting BIM models to IoT sensors and other
data sources, it is possible to create a dynamic digital twin that
can provide real-time insights into the performance and
condition of a building. Overall, the integration of BIM and IoT
into digital twins offers a powerful tool for designers, engineers,
and building managers to optimize the performance and
efficiency of buildings. This paper conduct a bibliometric review
over the evolution of BIM to DT, examining the benefits of each
technology and how Digital Twin expand on the capabilities of
BIM. The paper also will discuss Digital Twin and BIM in the
industry, discussing real-world applications and the tangible
benefits that organizations have experienced. Ultimately, this
paper highlights the importance of embracing new
technologies like Digital Twins to achieve optimal efficiency and
cost savings in the building industry

ETPs are well-positioned to contribute to the future internet both individually through their separate work, and collectively by facilitating coherence across projects.
Massonet Philippe Panel - Security in the clouds: An Academic PerspectiveServiceWave 2010
The document discusses security challenges in cloud computing from an academic perspective. It notes that cloud providers are offering different security levels and obtaining certifications to improve trust. However, key challenges remain around loss of user governance, compliance, managing risks from jurisdiction changes, and lack of transparency. The responsibilities between users and providers are also still incompletely defined regarding accountability and control. The document suggests research directions could improve trust by giving users more control and verifying the provider's isolation of virtual infrastructure.

Maryam Razavian: A Frame of Reference for SOA MigrationServiceWave 2010
This document summarizes research on approaches to migrating legacy systems to service-oriented architectures (SOAs). It conducted a systematic literature review that identified 8 families of SOA migration approaches. It also conducted interviews with industry practitioners that found companies primarily used "bowl-shaped" migration approaches focused on integration and reuse. The research provides a framework to categorize SOA migration approaches found in both academic literature and industry practice.
Security in the Clouds Panel Chair: Mike SurridgeServiceWave 2010
This document discusses security issues related to cloud computing. It outlines both the pros and cons of cloud-based information and communication technology. The pros include low upfront costs, low maintenance costs, and scalability. However, there are also legal, financial, societal and technical security risks to consider. These include issues around authentication, access control, accountability, and isolation of users. The document then describes the architecture of the Edutain@Grid project, which had four layers: the client layer for single sign-on, the business layer for trust and security federations, the management layer for access control and billing, and the real-time layer for secure application protocols. Finally, it lists the panelists who will discuss challenges
Martine Lapierre - Security in Cloud computing: sharing more than resourcesServiceWave 2010
Cloud computing provides opportunities but also implies a loss of control over data and infrastructure. When choosing a cloud offering, considerations include the provider's reputation for protecting confidentiality and their ability to prove no loss of control. Sensitive healthcare data processed in the cloud must satisfy strict regulatory requirements regarding data protection, access controls, and ensuring data does not leave its country of origin. Both customers and providers face legal and security challenges in ensuring compliance with privacy laws and protecting against threats in shared cloud environments.
Chen Wang, Pazat, Di Napoli, Giordano: A Chemical Based Middleware for Workf...ServiceWave 2010
1) The document describes a middleware architecture for instantiating and executing workflows at runtime based on quality of service constraints.
2) The middleware selects appropriate services for each workflow activity based on offers published to a registry and binds them to generate a concrete workflow execution plan.
3) Workflow execution is decentralized by distributing workflow instance information to participating services, which invoke each other to continue execution in a self-coordinated manner.

TwoSpot is a cloud platform that allows for the automated horizontal scaling of web applications. It provides dynamic scaling of applications across multiple servers with a small resource footprint using existing software standards and multiple programming languages. The document discusses TwoSpot's architecture, how it starts and distributes application instances, and how it scales applications out or in based on load.
Scott Kirkpatrick (Hebrew University): OneLab: Federation and TestbedsServiceWave 2010
The document discusses federation of internet testbeds to enable testing across different geographic locations, technologies, and networks. It proposes extending federation support through middleware across control planes and experimental planes to facilitate resource discovery, monitoring, and data sharing. Several existing federated testbeds and measurement tools are described that have been used for topics like internet topology mapping, capacity measurements in Europe, and testing non-IP autonomous networks.
Jacques Magen (FIRESTATION): Testbeds for Service Deployment. FIRESTATION’s v...ServiceWave 2010
FIRESTATION aims to coordinate and support stakeholders involved in the Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) initiative. It establishes an Architecture Board to bring together representatives from FIRE projects to coordinate common actions and developments. This includes working towards a high-level federation model for FIRE facilities, developing a common FIRE portal, and addressing sustainability and business models. FIRESTATION also serves as an entry point for external relations and provides support for other coordination actions like FIREBALL and PARADISO2.
This document discusses testbeds for service deployments and summarizes a panel discussion on the topic. The panel motivation was that fast prototyping, testing, and experimentally driven research are key to speeding up and leveraging new application and service deployments. Testbeds can offer existing solutions and determine if they are usable and adequate. Some issues discussed were matching or mismatching between needs, requirements, and available solutions both open and commercial. Questions addressed why common open activities and solutions may need to be developed for service platforms, what concrete form an offering could take, and how academic and industrial objectives could be reconciled along with business models and sustainability.
