This paper presents a vision-based tracking system suitable for autonomous robot vehicle guidance. The system includes a head with three on-board CCD cameras, which can be mounted...
The goal of autonomic computing is to create computing systems capable of managing themselves to a far greater extent than they do today. This paper presents Unity, a decentralize...

In this chapter, we present some of the biologically-inspired approaches, developed within the context of the European project BIONETS for enabling autonomic pervasive computing en...
High performance Grid computing provides an infrastructure for access and processing of large volume, terabyte or even petabytes, of distributed data. Research in data grid has foc...
Queries over scientific data often imply expensive analyses of data requiring a lot of computational resources available in Grids. We are developing a customizable query processor...
