—Embedded systems normally involve a combination of hardware and software resources designed to perform dedicated tasks. Such systems have widely crept into industrial control, a...
This paper describes the use of fault tolerance in a multiagent system. Such an approach is based on the modeling of autonomous agents with planning capabilities. These capabiliti...
The development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) software today is tackled by a code-and-fix process that relies solely on the primitive constructs provided by the operating sys...
Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
After a component based system is developed, it has to be deployed into a target environment. As the system becomes much larger and more complex and the environment becomes open an...
