A classic autonomous robot is an autonomous agent for open, unpredictable environments. Such an agent is inherently autonomous but not independent. Independence implies unpredictab...
Current software development often relies on non trivial coordination logic for combining autonomous services, eventually running on different platforms. As a rule, however, such ...
As a case study that illustrates our view on coordination and component-based software engineering, we present the design and implementation of a parallel constraint solver. The pa...
Advances in computer networks that support the invocation of remote services in heterogeneous environments enable new levels of software composition. In order to manage composition...
Abstract. A central issue in autonomic management is how to coordinate several autonomic management processes, which is assumed to require significant knowledge exchange. This stu...
