Since internet applications reached a satisfactory level of maturity, large information systems were developed to manage and facilitate access to documents. Simultaneously, there was an enormous international effort to digitise documents, enabling access via the internet. This endeavour facilitated the access of researchers to extensive document repositories and libraries, while also aiding companies in organising their documents. Two decades later, these vast databases are reasonably clean and well-organised. However, the software used to manage and feed is gradually becoming obsolete. Therefore, it is imperative to continuously reengineer the software to maintain optimal functionality. Furthermore, after the initial effort to digitise documents and create the initial metadata, it is reasonable to augment metadata information pertaining to the documents. As such, two necessities are apparent: improving support for reengineering legacy document information systems and enabling data model updates and schema evolution to accommodate new information. Our goal is to automatise the reengineering process as a whole.
Link to publication DOIThe use of social robots in public spaces is becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide personalized services to users. However, the convergence of different technologies and software applications has raised concerns regarding security requirements, standards, and regulations. Specifically, there are significant concerns about the evolving threat landscape for software applications in public settings, where social robots interact without supervision and are in direct contact with threat actors. During the development of social robots software, developers and practitioners need practical tools to continuously assess the security profiles of their products. This paper presents a preventive approach to the dynamic evolving security landscape of Social Robots in Public Spaces (SRPS) using design science research (DSR) methodology to develop a security framework. The study investigates security threats, vulnerabilities, and risks associated with SRPS and analyzes existing related frameworks to design a security framework for SRPS. The research aims to provide insights into the security aspects of SRPS software application development processes and contribute to developing effective security frameworks to mitigate evolving risks and ensure secure operation and acceptance in public spaces.
