For self-organising emergent solutions, there is no support to explicitly design system-wide information flows and feedback loops in those flows. This is problematic because the...
This paper takes the view that to be considered autonomous, a software agent must possess the means by which to manage its own motivations and so define new goals. Using the motiva...
Abstract-- In this seminal paper, we sketch a general conceptual framework for self-organising systems (SOSs) that encompasses both stigmergy and MAS coordination, and potentially ...

Field-based coordination is a very promising approach for a wide range of application scenarios in modern dynamic networks. To implement such an approach, one can rely on distribu...
In many applications of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, position-awareness is of great importance. Often, as in the case of geometric routing, it is sufficient to have virtua...
