“…Concerning regulation, some actions are being made, from governments 3 and other institutions 4 , to form an adequate legal framework. It is necessary to prompt action to provide guidance and decisions regarding governance and how to operate IoT applications in a lawful, ethical, socially and politically acceptable way, respecting the right to privacy and ensuring the protection of personal data (Caron et al 2016;Almeida et al 2018).…”

Contemporary software systems, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and Smart Cities represent a technology changing that offer challenges for their construction since they are calling into question our traditional form of developing software. They are a promising paradigm for the integration of devices and communications technologies. It is leading to a shift in the classical monolithic view of development where stakeholders used to receive a software product at the end (that we have been doing for decades), to software systems incrementally materialized through physical objects interconnected by networks and with embedded software to support daily activities. Therefore, we need to revisit the classical way of developing software and start to consider the particularities required by these new sorts of applications. Since such software systems involve different concerns, this paper presents the results of an investigation towards defining a framework to support the software systems engineering of IoT applications. To support its representation, we evolved the Zachman’s Framework as an alternative to the organization of the framework architecture. The filling of such a framework is supported by a) 14 significant concerns of IoT applications, recovered from the technical literature, practitioner’s workshops and a Government Report; b) seven structured facets emerged from IoT data analysis, that together represent the engineering challenges to be faced both by researchers and practitioners towards the advancement of IoT in practice.

“…The analysis also includes a comparison of the packages of several IoT devices with respect to privacy-related information, as well as their privacy policies. An extensive literature review and summary of IoT privacy issues is provided in [4,7,17]. Other works are focused on location privacy [10,18], while [28] focuses on fitness trackers.…”

The novelty of the Internet of Things (IoT) as a trend has not given society sufficient time to establish a clear view of what IoT is and how it operates. As such, people are likely to be unaware of the privacy implications, thus creating a gap between the belief of what a device does and its actual behaviour. The responses collected in our online survey indicate that participants tend to see IoT as computer-like devices, rather than appliances, though there are some important misconceptions about the way these devices function. We also find that privacy is a primary concern when it comes to IoT adoption. Nevertheless, participants have a propensity to keep using IoT devices even after they find out that the device abuses their trust. Finally, we provide recommendations to IoT vendors, to make their products more transparent in terms of privacy.

“…The use of new instruments in tax surveillance leads to the increasing of data transfer rate. The retention and processing of personal data is the important aspect of digital technology use which is confirmed by the Bernardo D. Olivares and Xavier Caron's research (Olivares, 2018;Caron, Bosua, Maynard, & Ahmad, 2016). It is important not only for the innovative tax product, but also for the procedure of online state registration of legal entities and individuals, for the exchange of e-documents, in particular for filing electronic tax returns.…”
