   abstract = {The increasing connectivity and data exchange between vehicles and the cloud have led to growing privacy concerns. To keep on gaining product insights through data collection while guaranteeing privacy protection, an anonymization-by-design approach should be used. A rising number of anonymization methods, not limited to the automotive domain, can be found in the literature and practice. The developers need support to select the suitable anonymization technique. To this end, we make the following two contributions: 1) We apply our knowledge from the automotive domain to outline the usage of qualitative metrics for anonymization techniques assessment; 2) We introduce HySAAD, a hybrid selection approach for anonymization by design that leverages this groundwork by recommending appropriate anonymization techniques for each mobile data analytics use case based on both, qualitative (i.e., {\ss}oft``) metrics and quantitative (i.e., ''hard``) metrics. Using a real-world use case from the automotive, we demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of HySAAD.},

   abstract = {The extensive use of onboard sensors in smart cars enables the collection, processing, and dissemination of large amounts of mobile data containing information about the vehicle, its driver, and even bystanders. Despite the undoubted benefits of such smart cars, this leads to significant privacy concerns. Due to their inherent mobility, the situation of smart cars changes frequently, and with it, the appropriate measures to counteract the exposure of private data. However, data management in such vehicles lacks sufficient support for this privacy dynamism. We therefore introduce PaDS, a framework for Privacy adaptive Data Stream. The focus of this paper is to enable adaptive data processing within the vehicle data stream. With PaDS, Privacy-Enhancing Technologies can be deployed dynamically in the data pipeline of a smart car according to the current situation without user intervention. With a comparison of state-of-the-art approaches, we demonstrate that our solution is very efficient as it does not require a complete restart of the data pipeline. Moreover, compared to a static approach, PaDS causes only minimal overhead despite its dynamic adaptation of the data pipeline to react to changing privacy requirements. This renders PaDS an effective privacy solution for smart cars.},

   abstract = {Nowdays, modern applications often use blockchains as a secure data store. However, querying blockchain data is more challenging than querying conventional databases due to blockchains being primarily designed for the logging of asset transfers, such as cryptocurrencies, rather than storing and reading generic data. To improve the experience of querying blockchain data and make it comparable to querying conventional databases, new design approaches of the storage engine for blockchain technology are required. An important aspect is the data layout of a block, as it plays a crucial role in facilitating reading of blockchain data. In this paper, we identify a suitable data layout that provides the required query capabilities while preserving the key properties of blockchain technology. Our goal is to overcome the limitations of current data access models in blockchains, such as the reliance on auxiliary data storages and error-prone smart contracts. To this end, we compare four promising data layouts with data models derived from document, row, column, and triple stores in terms of schema flexibility, read pattern generality, and relational algebra suitability. We then assess the most suitable data layout for blockchain technology.},
