The Software Engineering and Internet Technologies (SEIT) Laboratory is an integral part of the CS Department. SEIT
focuses its research activities on Software Engineering and Internet Technologies. In the first area, SEIT
concentrates on Cloud Computing, Service Oriented Architectures, Context-Aware Middleware Platforms, and Smart
and Mobile Computing for the development of pervasive, self-adaptive applications and Smart Internet of Things
(IoT) services. In the second area, it focuses on the development of ICT-enabled Creativity and Enhanced Learning
Environments, platforms and tools for implementing Health monitoring and support services, Smart and Personalised
services for Elders and Assistive Technologies for people with disabilities.
SEIT has expertise in Privacy Enhancing Technologies at various levels of the software engineering lifecycle, with
focus on Privacy by Design, but also in different domains and systems, such as web and mobile environments.
Recent activities target IoT applications for user-centric privacy protection in compliance with GDPR, including the
definition of privacy policies for IoT and smart city services. SEIT works also on the research and development of
cloud-based, service-oriented middleware platforms for addressing the challenges of interoperability, heterogeneity
and scalability.
