abstract = {The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses a variety of technologies that enable
the formation of adaptive and flexible networks from heterogeneous devices.
Along with the rising number of applications, the amount of devices within IoT
ecosystems is constantly increasing. In order to cope with this inherent
complexity and to enable efficient administration and orchestration of devices,
IoT platforms have emerged in recent years. While many IoT platforms empower
users to define application logic for use cases and execute it within an
ecosystem, they typically rely on static device references, leading to huge
manual maintenance efforts and low robustness. In this paper, we present an
approach that allows IoT platforms to autonomously and reliably execute
pre-defined use cases by automatically discovering and selecting the most
suitable devices. It establishes loose coupling and hence does not impose major
technical constraints on the ecosystems in which it is operated.},

abstract = {Companies today have increasing amounts of data at their disposal, most of
which is not used, leaving the data value unexploited. In order to leverage the
data value, the data must be democratized, i.e., made available to the company
employees. In this context, the use of enterprise data marketplaces, platforms
for trading data within a company, are proposed. However, specifics of
enterprise data marketplaces and how these can be implemented have not been
investigated in literature so far. To shed light on these topics, we illustrate
the characteristics of an enterprise data marketplace and highlight according
marketplace requirements. We provide an enterprise data marketplace
architecture, discuss how it integrates into a company's system landscape and
present an enterprise data marketplace prototype. Finally, we examine
organizational and technical challenges which arise when operating a
marketplace in the enterprise context. In this paper, we thereby present the
enterprise data marketplace as a distinct marketplace type and provide the
basis for establishing it within a company.},

challenging to preserve privacy in connected vehicle environments when the

privacy-preserving system in connected vehicle environments with a focus on
situation-awareness and safety aspects. Based on the analysis, we propose a
novel situation-aware privacy-preserving framework for connected vehicles. Our
framework supports individual privacy protections for specific end-point

discovery and optimization. However, process discovery is rarely used for
product development projects. This is because information systems in product
development, e. g., Product-Lifecycle-Management (PLM) systems, do not provide
the event logs required by process discovery algorithms. Additionally, existing
algorithms struggle with development projects, as these are unstructured and
rich in variety. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to process
discovery in order to make it applicable and tailored to product development
projects. Instead of using flat event logs, we provide a graph-based data
structure that is able to represent both activities and data of product
development projects with the dataflow between activities. Based on this
structure, we can leverage provenance available in PLM systems. Furthermore, we
may use frequent subgraph mining to discover process patterns. Such patterns
are well suited to describe different variants and common sub-processes of
unstructured processes. Using a prototype, we evaluate this approach and
successfully discover prevailing patterns. These patterns may be used by
engineers to support their decision-making or help improve the execution of
development projects.},

presented that reflects the required steps, tool types and roles for finding,

democratization challenges. To address these challenges we propose the use of
an enterprise data marketplace, a novel type of information system for sharing

assessment of a data marketplace yields an improved consumer journey and
demonstrates that the marketplace addresses the data democratization challenges
and consequently, shows that the marketplace is suited for realizing data

abstract = {Dataset Shifts (DSS) are known to cause poor predictive performance in
supervised machine learning tasks. We present a challenging binary
classification task for a real-world use case of product failure prediction.
The target is to predict whether a product, e. g., a truck may fail during the
warranty period. However, building a satisfactory classifier is difficult,
because the characteristics of underlying training data entail two kinds of
DSS. First, the distribution of product configurations may change over time,
leading to a covariate shift. Second, products gradually fail at different
points in time, so that the labels in training data may change, which may a
concept shift. Further, both DSS show a trade-off relationship, i. e.,
addressing one of them may imply negative impacts on the other one. We discuss
the results of an experimental study to investigate how different approaches to
addressing DSS perform when they are faced with both a covariate and a concept
shift. Thereby, we prove that existing approaches, e. g., incremental learning
and windowing, especially suffer from the trade-off between both DSS.
Nevertheless, we come up with a solution for a data-driven classifier that
yields better results than a baseline solution that does not address DSS.},

Yet, from a data protection perspective, the immutable and tamper-proof

solutions are presented on how IoT group communication can be secured and how
trust within IoT applications can be increased. In the context of blockchain
technologies, approaches are introduced on how the capabilities of query
processing can be enhanced and how a proof-of-work consensus protocol can be
efficiently applied in IoT environments. Furthermore, it is discussed how
blockchain technologies can be used in IoT environments to control access to
confidential IoT data as well as to enable privacy-aware data sharing. Finally,
two reviews give an overview of the state of the art in in-app activity

abstract = {The ability to capture and quantify any aspect of daily life via sensors,
enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT), data have become one of the most
important resources of the 21st century. However, the high value of data also
renders data an appealing target for criminals. Two key protection goals when
dealing with data are therefore to maintain their permanent availability and to
ensure their integrity. Blockchain technology provides a means of data
protection that addresses both of these objectives. On that account,
blockchains are becoming increasingly popular for the management of critical
data. As blockchains are operated in a decentralized manner, they are not only
protected against failures, but it is also ensured that neither party has sole
control over the managed data. Furthermore, blockchains are immutable and
tamper-proof data stores, whereby data integrity is guaranteed. While these
properties are preferable from a data security perspective, they also pose a
threat to privacy and confidentiality, as data cannot be concealed, rectified,
or deleted once they are added to the blockchain.
In this paper, we therefore investigate which features of the blockchain pose
an inherent privacy threat when dealing with personal or confidential data. To
this end, we consider to what extent blockchains are in compliance with
applicable data protection laws, namely the European General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). Based on our identified key issues, we assess which concepts

private or confidential matters, data protection laws restrict the processing

abstract = {Two factors are crucial for the effective operation of modern-day smart
services: Initially, IoT-enabled technologies have to capture and combine huge
amounts of data on data subjects. Then, all these data have to be processed
exhaustively by means of techniques from the area of big data analytics. With
regard to the latter, thorough data refinement in terms of data cleansing and
data transformation is the decisive cornerstone. Studies show that data
refinement reaches its full potential only by involving domain experts in the
process. However, this means that these experts need full insight into the data
in order to be able to identify and resolve any issues therein, e.g., by
correcting or removing inaccurate, incorrect, or irrelevant data records. In
particular for sensitive data (e.g., private data or confidential data), this
poses a problem, since these data are thereby disclosed to third parties such
as domain experts. To this end, we introduce SMARTEN, a sample-based approach
towards privacy-friendly data refinement to smarten up big data analytics and
smart services. SMARTEN applies a revised data refinement process that fully
involves domain experts in data pre-processing but does not expose any
sensitive data to them or any other third-party. To achieve this, domain
experts obtain a representative sample of the entire data set that meets all
privacy policies and confidentiality guidelines. Based on this sample, domain
experts define data cleaning and transformation steps. Subsequently, these
steps are converted into executable data refinement rules and applied to the
entire data set. Domain experts can request further samples and define further
rules until the data quality required for the intended use case is reached.
Evaluation results confirm that our approach is effective in terms of both data
quality and data privacy.},

abstract = {Data have become one of the most valuable resources in modern society. Due to
increasing digitalization and the growing prevalence of the Internet of Things,
it is possible to capture data on any aspect of today's life. Similar to
physical resources, data have to be refined before they can become a profitable
asset. However, such data preparation entails completely novel challenges: For
instance, data are not consumed when being processed, whereby the volume of
available data that needs to be managed increases steadily. Furthermore, the
data preparation has to be tailored to the intended use case in order to
achieve an optimal outcome. This, however, requires the knowledge of domain
experts. Since such experts are typically not IT experts, they need tools that
enable them to specify the data requirements of their use cases in a
user-friendly manner. The goal of this data preparation is to provide any
emerging use case with demand-actuated data.
With this in mind, we designed a tailorable data preparation zone for Data
Lakes called BARENTS. It provides a simplified method for domain experts to
specify how data must be pre-processed for their use cases, and these data
preparation steps are then applied automatically. The data requirements are
specified by means of an ontology-based method which is comprehensible to
non-IT experts. Data preparation and provisioning are realized
resource-efficient by implementing BARENTS as a dedicated zone for Data Lakes.
This way, BARENTS is seamlessly embeddable into established Big Data
infrastructures.
This article is an extended and revised version of the conference paper
``Demand-Driven Data Provisioning in Data Lakes: BARENTS - A Tailorable Data
Preparation Zone'' by Stach et al. In comparison to our original conference
paper, we take a more detailed look at related work in the paper at hand. The
emphasis of this extended and revised version, however, is on strategies to
improve the performance of BARENTS and enhance its functionality. To this end,
we discuss in-depth implementation details of our prototype and introduce a
novel recommender system in BARENTS that assists users in specifying data
preparation steps.},
