	title = {Facilitating the Adoption of Complex Event Processing for IoT: Framework and Lessons Learned},
	year = {2026},
	month = {March-April},
	abstract = {This paper introduces a novel framework designed to significantly facilitate the adoption by software developers and domain experts of the entire lifecycle of Complex Event Processing (CEP) for IoT domains. Recognizing the challenges non-technical users face, the framework integrates tools and processes that facilitate synthetic data generation for testing, intuitive definition, storage, and deployment of event types and patterns, and crucial runtime management. It also supports the storage and visualization of generated complex events. Its central component is SEC-API4CEP, a secure RESTful API enabling dynamic deployment, updating, and undeployment of event patterns at runtime, overcoming limitations of existing solutions, with integrated security. By addressing these critical aspects, the framework empowers software practitioners to leverage CEP for real-time analysis and response without requiring deep technical expertise while also allowing domain experts to graphically design IoT patterns to be detected by the CEP engine.},

	abstract = {Software architecture education is a weak spot in many undergraduate programs in computer science and software engineering. While the concepts and practices used by software architects in industry are rich and varied, transferring this expertise into a university classroom has proved problematic. Bridging the gap between industry and academia requires ongoing, often heroic, effort. This is a {\textquotedblleft}chicken and egg{\textquotedblright} problem: Because there is a lack of good teaching materials, architecture is seldom taught, and because it is seldom taught, there has been little incentive to create good materials. We would like to change that. Our goal is to establish guidelines for how software architecture practices should be taught{\textemdash}both technical and non-technical topics{\textemdash}and to suggest appropriate teaching methods to best prepare students to be software architects in practice.},

	address = {Valletta, Malta},
	abstract = {Multitenancy is an important feature for all Everything as a Service providers like Business Process Management as a Service. It allows to reduce the cost of the infrastructure since multiple tenants share the same service instances. However, tenants have dynamic workloads. The resource they share may not be sufficient at some point in time. It may require Cloud resource (re-)configurations to ensure a given Quality of Service. Tenants should be migrated without stopping the service from a configuration to another to meet their needs while minimizing operational costs on the provider side. Live migrations reveal many challenges: service interruption must be minimized and the impact on co-tenants should be minimal. In this paper, we investigate live tenants migrations duration and its effects on the migrated tenants as well as the co-located ones. To do so, we propose a generic approach to measure these effects for multi-tenant Software as a Service. Further, we propose a testing framework to simulate workloads, and observe the impact of live migrations on Business Process Management Systems. The experimental results highlight the efficiency of our approach and show that migration time depends on the size of data that have to be transferred and that the effects on co-located tenants should not be neglected. },

	abstract = {Blockchain is an emerging technology for decentralized and transactional data sharing across a large network of untrusted participants. It enables new forms of distributed software architectures, where components can find agreements on their shared states without trusting a central integration point or any particular participating components. Considering the blockchain as a software connector helps make explicitly important architectural considerations on the resulting performance and quality attributes (for example, security, privacy, scalability and sustainability) of the system. Based on our experience in several projects using blockchain, in this paper we provide rationales to support the architectural decision on whether to employ a decentralized blockchain as opposed to other software solutions, like traditional shared data storage. Additionally, we explore specific implications of using the blockchain as a software connector including design trade-offs regarding quality attributes.},
