TUTORIAL 01 – Capability-driven development
Duration: 4 hs. – Language Spanish with English slides
Tuesday September 16 from 13:30 to 15:30 and 16:00 to 18 hs.
Capability is a concept that has been used for some time in disciplines such as organisational management and welfare economics, and it is used in defence technology development. From the business perspective, a capability is the ability and capacity that enable an enterprise to achieve a business goal in a certain context. From the technical perspective, capability delivery requires dynamic utilisation and adaptation of resources and services in changing environments. Recently, a metamodel for representing business and IT designs, consisting of goals, key performance indicators, capabilities, context and capability delivery patterns, has been proposed by Stirna et al. (2008). This initiative has grown to the extent of the European Commission FP7 Project CaaS. A methodology and tools to support capability-‐driven development are being developed. Capability-driven development (CDD) is a novel paradigm where services are customised on the basis of the essential business capabilities and delivery is adjusted according to the current context. The specification of context-aware business capabilities, by using enterprise modelling techniques, is the starting point of the software development process. Following this approach, business services are configured by enterprise models and built-‐in algorithms that provide context information. This tutorial will show how to successfully perform the early stages of capability-driven development. Within CDD, the tutorial will focus on the following topics: How to elicit and model business capabilities, both at the problem and the solution spaces and How to provide such models as input for later development stages, including runtime environments. Participants will work with state‐of-the-art modelling methods and will be shown how to use available tools to support the methods. Also, the presenters will outline future capability design environments and context-‐ aware runtime frameworks, which are still under development. The tutorial is illustrated with examples drawn from a successful industrial application of CDD. We will use this case as a running example to clarify concepts and methods and to carry out small exercises. In short, this tutorial offers an overview on capability-driven development. The goal is that participants are able to apply the knowledge to their own contexts, either industrial practice or academic research.

TUTORIAL 02 – Introduction to web security
Duration: 4 hs. – Language Spanish with English slides
Tuesday September 16 from 13:30 to 15:30 and 16:00 to 18 hs.
Digital media are becoming increasingly more common as a repository and representation of intellectual property, especially audio, images, and video. With this ubiquity come requirements for security (who may gain access the content?) and integrity (is the information unadulterated/original?). In this tutorial, we outline various aspects of data or web security. Specifically, we describe various aspects of cyber security, including privacy, security, integrity, viruses and worms, cyber crime, and spam; we also indicate their relationships to the three fundamental areas of data security, namely statistical database security, authorization systems, and crypto systems. We then focus on techniques for achieving security and integrity of digital content. Cryptography-based approaches are the traditional means of achieving these objectives. However, they have serious problems with signal-based content, most notably processing requirements, sensitivity to errors, or increases in the amount of data to be stored or transmitted. Since several of the techniques in data security aim at protecting information and resources on the web, we conclude by giving an overview of issues related to Internet crime. Specifically, we examine the role of the Internet in facilitating illicit or undesirable actions and the problems raised by the Internet’s inability to respect national boundaries.

TUTORIAL 04 – Business Modeling: Model-driven beyond the systems
Duration: 4 hs. – Language Spanish with slides in English
Wednesday September 17 from 08:00 to 10:00 and 10:30 to 12:30 hs.
The MDE (Model driven engineering) paradigm arose to face the problem of software development but it has application in several contexts. In this tutorial we focus on its application to obtain representations of the different aspects of an organization which are related with the information systems: processes, rules, strategy, services, products, actors, information, infrastructure. The goal is to get actionable models, i.e. useful artifacts for the IT government, change and improvement by means of the best alignment of information systems with its organizational context. The content of the tutorial includes: Enterprise Engineering context, business modeling dimensions, overall view of corporate architecture, business modeling metamodels and standards, BMM, SBVR, BPMN, UML, the integration problem, methodologies (TOGAF-ADM), languages (Archimate), technological support (new frameworks for IT government). A case study will be presented using a free tool.

TUTORIAL 06 – How to define, model and infer human affective information to be use as input for recommender systems.
Duration: 4 hs. – Language Portuguese with slides in English
Wednesday September 17 from 08:00 to 10:00 and 10:30 to 12:30 hs.
In recent years the study of how human psychological aspects may improve the decision-making process in computers has became a new trend. This subject has attracted the attention from both academy and industry in areas such as human-computer interaction, computer in education, recommender systems and social matching systems, among others. Thus, the researchers have demonstrated how important the subtle information, as well as psychological aspects of people (such as personality traits and emotions) are during the human decision-making process. Even marketing scientists have already described how mandatory this data could be in order to discover the most assertive prediction. Much of those subtle information are freely available on web through social networks, blogs, sms, for instance, the issue is how to extract them without being too intrusive, too boring or too explicit. This tutorial comes to fill this gap by presenting the state of the art of Affective Computing, considering how to define, model and infer personality (emotion/sentiment) considering some alternative methods, such as Sentiment Analysis and Personality Mining. In addition, the tutorial presents how to store those data in order to use it as recommender inputs.

TUTORIAL 07 – LANC – Multimedia Human-Centric Networking
Duration: 2 hs. – Language English with slides in English
Thursday September 18 from 13:30 to 15:30 hs.
The transmission of multimedia content will represent up to 90% of all Internet traffic in a few years, where it will be mainly accessed over wireless networks. How- ever, this new wireless multimedia era requires instantaneous adaptation of multimedia content and the network resources according to user’s preferences, experiences, or in- terests. In this context, human-centric multimedia networking (HCMN) appears as a promising model for next generation of wireless multimedia networks. In such scenarios, users will produce, share, and consume video flows ubiquitously, ranging from enter- taining to real-time video flows about natural disasters or surveillance. Although, op- timizations in HCMN scenarios must consider issues related to the network, the video characteristics, and, especially, human’s preferences or the human’s visual system. In this way, HCMN systems place the human’s experience in the centre of mobile video services, protocols, and applications, where the video transmission process must be done and optimized in real-time according to the human’s perceptions, content’s characteristics, and also context-awareness. In this work, we introduce the basic concepts for the video transmission in HCMN systems. We also detail main existing mechanisms, which aim to improve the performance of HCMN system in sharing video content, including Quality of Experience (QoE)-based solutions for handover, routing, error correction, decision- making, and controlling the dissemination of video flows in wireless multimedia-aware environments.
