The blog post is written by Galia Novakova Nedeltcheva, Elisabetta Di Nitto, Hamta Sedghani and Danilo Ardagna Can PIACERE and AI-SPRINT collaborate and integrate their results? The short answer is yes. This blog post aims at elaborating around the potential of such...

PRODEVELOP is participating in a European project called AIDOaRt (https://sites.mdu.se/aidoart), AI-augmented automation supporting modelling, coding, testing, monitoring, and continuous development in Cyber-Physical Systems. AIDOaRt is a 3 years long H2020-ECSEL...

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to a set of techniques and mechanisms that are employed to ensure that the performance and reliability of cloud services meet specific requirements or expectations. QoS is a critical consideration because it enables organizations to...

The PIACERE IDE includes, as part of its Verification Tool, a suite of useful static-analysis services to help you validate the architecture described in a DOML model. This is particularly useful to catch issues early within the model and save time down the line.  The...

On July 21st, we took part at a workshop, held for the EUCloudEdgeIoT project and led by Atos, with the objective to identify the thematic areas and building blocks composing a reference architecture in the field of IoT/Edge and Cloud computing. We started from an...

Overall digitalisation of our business and everyday living environment, sharp increases in big data, the so-called “the Internet of Things” where a growing number of devices that surround us communicate among themselves, as well as alter business models present us...

With the new releases PIACERE is moving further in the integration with new tools and technologies. A possible integration that PIACERE is exploring is for the ICG (Infrastructure Code Generator) to generate code that is compatible with Gaia-X. For this integration a...

Ericsson Telecomunicazioni R&D Department within the PIACERE project is developing a public safety application able to monitor a network of IoT devices in order to protect them against cyber/physical attacks or adverse natural events. The use of open...

This blog post is written by Matteo Pradella and Andrea Franchini Model checking is a formal verification approach where a system is typically represented as an operational model, together with a logical framework for expressing and checking that certain desired...

In early 2023 PIACERE has been awarded with a third and final Horizon Results Booster programme focus innovation management to enhance the already mature exploitation work we have been developing so far. This is part of the Go to Market service and is following the...

While traditional log monitoring solutions require manual rule-based analysis, novel AI methods leverage Natural Language Processing to model log streams and capture normal operating conditions. But between this novel dynamic approach and the well-established static...

During the GA meeting in Valencia, there was a discussion group on the following topics: Panel on DevSecOps applicability, challenges and future directions During the session, some experts participated (Ismael Torres (Prodevelop), Juan Carlos Molina (Integranova),...

In the second year of the PIACERE project, the DevSecOps framework definition and its components implementation have reached a maturity level that consolidates the PIACERE architecture optimizing each component and their integration. Fully adopting the DevSecOps...

PIACERE, together with SWForum.eu and  AI-SPRINT projects, are organising the First FastContinuum workshop on 15/16 April 2023 at the ICPE2023 workshop in Coimbra, Portugal. Politecnico di Milano, one of our partners, is leading the organisation of the workshop....

With the increasing digital transformation across industries, in pair with the also fast increasing cybersecurity attacks of large impact, the need for a DevOps with security by design is essential. In the context of the innovative DevSecOps framework proposed by the...

The digital strategy defines a new vision and possibilities for digital transformation after the pandemic period and supports the implementation of the EU's strategic priorities until 2030. The strategy outlines the framework of digital transformation and emphasizes...

Maritime infrastructures are complex applications that need to be deployed on heterogeneous environments with high availability and require important security levels for both software and hardware systems. For this reason, Prodevelop started to embrace the DevOps...

The availability of many Infrastructure as Code (IaC) languages and tools in the IT automation and infrastructure provisioning world makes it difficult to know and use all of them. A possible solution to this problem, designed and implemented in the PIACERE project,...

In this month of June we are concluding the second couching programme by the European Commission initiative Horizon Results Booster in collaboration with the META Group. It concluded 6 sessions to define and analyse three Key Exploitable Results across two consecutive...

Interoperable Europe, within the NIFO Observatory on National Interoperability Frameworks, has published a report on Member States' plans and the measures they have taken to mitigate the effects of the health and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The...

In this post, a rectification is made on the use of Theia + EMF.cloud and we return to the point where eclipse IDE + EMF is used for the development of the PIACERE IDE. This is due to the lack of documentation and the constant problems that we have encountered when...

We are developing the DOML (DevOps Modeling Language) to support end users in modeling an application and its required infrastructure and in generating ready to use Infrastructure as Code from it. The DOML specification is progressing. We have released the first...

The Infrastructure Code Generator (ICG) is the PIACERE component that allows generating executable infrastructural code (IaC) from models written in DevSecOps Modelling Language (DOML). In the PIACERE workflow, the ICG receives the DOML from the IDE (Integrated...
