My Private Cloud Overview: A Trust, Privacy and Security Infrastructure for the Cloud

Based on the assumption that cloud providers can be trusted (to a certain extent) we define a trust, security and privacy preserving infrastructure that relies on trusted cloud providers to operate properly. Working in tandem with legal agreements, our open source software supports: trust and reputation management, sticky policies with fine grained access controls, privacy preserving delegation of authority, federated identity management, different levels of assurance and configurable audit trails. Armed with these tools, cloud service providers are then able to offer a reliable privacy preserving infrastructure-as-a-service to their clients

Train management platform for advanced maintenance of passenger information systems

A Passenger Information System provides information about the train's running to the passengers on-board. Many nodes are present in this system, located all along the train. To guarantee that the information provided is correct and to perform predictive maintenance on this system in order to reduce costs, an intelligent distributed software application is presented in this paper. This proposed application eases the tasks of fault detection and correlation and can lead to an improvement in performance by aiding in the task of preventive maintenance
