As applied sciences researchers focusing on new digital application designs implemented and deployed with multiple computing paradigms, we emphasise the practical nature of our contributions and the direct transferability to stakeholders in industry and society. In this context, we are happy to report that two system demonstrations have been recently accepted to be presented at the 21st ACM/IFIP Middleware 2020 conference running from December 7-11 in «virtual Delft». Read on for details.

In the context of our «Smart Cities and Regions Services Enablement» efforts, space (and to some extent time) are important dimensions. First, the digital transformation has an inherent spatial component. While the research application field is pragmatically scoped to cities and regions, indeed it spans a wider spectrum from households, quarters, districts to countries and even supranational entities. The recent wave of «surface digitalisation» has primarily affected mobile citizens (pandemic apps) and workers (video conferencing in home offices) around the world. This increased the surface over the previous one that for most citizens encompassed e-banking, e-ticketing and e-tax declarations, with various degrees of voluntariness.

Economy and society in Switzerland are currently highly affected by the spreading second version of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes the associated infectious desease (COVID-19). The World Health Organisation (WHO) has classified the virus outbreak as PHEIC on January 30 and as pandemy on March 11. In Switzerland, the state emergency level Eminent/Special Situation was reached on February 28, and further restrictions led de-facto to the subsequent level Extraordinary Situation on March 13. This blog post reports on how the outbreak evolution can be continuously visualised as a reliable service with off-the-shelf tools.

The research efforts «Can virtual reality systems help us to design software as we talk?» and «Smart Cities & Regions Services Enablement» are among the first contributions to the digitalisation initiative of the canton of Zurich. They amplify the know-how on software engineering and data-intensive Internet services bundled at the Institute for Applied Information Technology for the support of commercial applications of the following decade.

In this post, we present the framework as entry point into the world of SaaS-level data exchange and some associated research questions.
