Multi-tenant Pub/Sub processing for real-time data streams
Devices and sensors generate streams of data across a diversity of locations and protocols. That data usually reaches a central platform that is used to store and process the streams. Processing can be done in real time, with transformations and enrichment happening on-the-fly, but it can also happen after data is stored and organized in repositories. In the former case, stream processing technologies are required to operate on the data; in the latter batch analytics and queries are of common use.
This paper introduces a runtime to dynamically construct data stream processing topologies based on user-supplied code. These dynamic topologies are built on-the-fly using a data subscription model defined by the applications that consume data. Each user-defined processing unit is called a Service Object. Every Service Object consumes input data streams and may produce output streams that others can consume. The subscription-based programing model enables multiple users to deploy their own data-processing services. The runtime does the dynamic forwarding of data and execution of Service Objects from different users. Data streams can originate in real-world devices or they can be the outputs of Service Objects.
The runtime leverages Apache STORM for parallel data processing, that combined with dynamic user-code injection provides multi-tenant stream processing topologies. In this work we describe the runtime, its features and implementation details, as well as we include a performance evaluation of some of its core components.This work is partially supported by the European Research Council (ERC) un-

Service Level Agreement-based GDPR Compliance and Security assurance in (multi)Cloud-based systems
Compliance with the new European General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and security
assurance are currently two major challenges of Cloud-based systems. GDPR compliance implies both privacy and security
mechanisms definition, enforcement and control, including evidence collection. This paper presents a novel DevOps
framework aimed at supporting Cloud consumers in designing, deploying and operating (multi)Cloud systems that include
the necessary privacy and security controls for ensuring transparency to end-users, third parties in service provision (if any)
and law enforcement authorities. The framework relies on the risk-driven specification at design time of privacy and security
level objectives in the system Service Level Agreement (SLA) and in their continuous monitoring and enforcement at runtime.The research leading to these results has received
