Co-located with the 24th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2024), June 17-20, 2024, Tampere, Finland.
Edge clouds are emerging as a pivotal computing infrastructure, especially with the advancements in communication technologies like 5G and Web of Things (WoT) infrastructures. They play a significant role in collecting and processing big data efficiently, particularly in smart cities and smart factories. In such environments, the provision of real-time Web services for various data types becomes imperative. Additionally, the creation of a dependable framework for developing big data service applications is crucial. The upcoming fourth edition of the BECS workshop aims to offer a platform for scholars and practitioners to exchange experiences and present ongoing work on delivering enhanced Web services by leveraging big data in edge cloud environments.

Prof. Jose García Alonso
Associate Professor at the Universidad de Extremadura, Spain
The computing capabilities of smartphones and IoT devices have increased significantly over the last years. These capabilities can be used not only to gather more and more information to be processed on the cloud, but also to transform these devices into services providers. This talk will explore the People as a Service paradigm in which smartphones and IoT devices become an integral part of the edge cloud services to process data and provide services about their owners or the people around them.
Jose Garcia-Alonso is an Associate Professor at the University of Extremadura, Spain, where he completed his PhD in software engineering in 2014. He is the co-founder of Gloin, a software consulting company, and Health and Aging Tech, an eHealth company. His research interests include service-oriented computing, pervasive computing, the eHealth continuum, and quantum software engineering. He is also part of the International Society of Gerontechnology Executive Board.
