Dr. Martin Serrano is a recognized expert on semantic interoperability and distributed systems due to his scientific contribution(s) using liked data and semantic formalisms like ontology web language for the Internet of Things and federated data mechanisms to store and manage the collected sensor’s data in Cloud Systems. Dr. Serrano has advanced the state of the art on pervasive computing using semantic data modelling and context awareness methods to extend the “autonomics” paradigm for networking systems. He has also contributed to define the data interplay in edge computing using the linked data paradigm; in those works he has received awards recognizing his scientific contributions and publications.

Dr. Serrano is a pioneer in using semantic technologies for defining data exchange methods and the use of formal methods for data measurements in the context of smart cities solutions. He also contributed to the area of information and knowledge engineering using semantic annotations and for describing data and service relations in the computing continuum. He has defined the data continuum and published several articles on data science and Internet of Things science and he is a pioneer and visionary on proposing that semantic technologies applied to management systems can be used as an approach to produce cognitive applications capable of understanding, service and application events, controlling the pervasive services life cycle. A process called bringing semantics into the box, as published in one of his academic books. He has published 5 academic books and more than 100 peer reviewed articles in IEEE, ACM and Springer conferences and journals.
