The SAMBA (Systems for AMBient intelligence enabled by Agents) architecture reported here is a conceptual service-oriented architecture supporting the interaction and interoperabil...
Abstract. Coalgebras are categorical presentations of state-based systems. In investigating parallel composition of coalgebras (realizing concurrency), we observe that the same alg...
In this paper we propose an approach to support dynamic or runtime variability in systems that must adapt dynamically to changing runtime context. The approach is founded on refle...

We present a web system architecture using ontologies to improve the behavior of the system from the performance viewpoint. Since web system performance indexes depend on state an...
Abstract. We study the decision theory of a maximally risk-averse investor — one whose objective, in the face of stochastic uncertainties, is to minimize the probability of ever ...
