Challenges in Improving Trustworthiness of Collaborations in
Critical Applications in Pervasive and Cloud Computing Environments
With the rapid advances in pervasive and cloud computing technologies and smart devices , effective collaborations in various applications can be achieved. In order to have the confidence of users involving critical applications, it is necessary to improve the trustworthiness of the collaborations in these environments. To achieve this goal, a number of challenges need to be met. In this talk, these challenges will be identified, and the existing research to improve the trustworthiness of collaborations in critical applications in these environments will be discussed. Future research directions in relevant areas to meet these challenges, including human factors in pervasive and cloud computing environments with smart devices, will be also discussed.

Services Computing for Big Data:Opportunities and Challenges
With a generic and well-structured service-oriented programming abstraction, developers of PC/Web/Android applications can flexibly define any portion of their data to be accessed in a “Data-as-a-Service” fashion. In addition, combining with software analytics and machine learning techniques from human-service interaction behaviors, we further re-engineer existing legacy systems/applications to comply with the programming abstraction so that their “deep” data can be accessed and explored in a secure and well-defined way. We have realized our “Data-as-a-Service” Cloud-Client Convergence Platform as commercial products, which have been OEMed by Lenovo, Founder, and Digital China. We also demonstrated how deep data can be explored in various domains such as e-Government, Smart City, and so on. In practice, our approach can significantly improve the efficiency of deep-data collection to 100x times as well as save 90% labor cost. The related patents have gained over 200 million RMB royalties.
