In distributed and mobile environments, the connections among the hosts on which a software system is running are often unstable. As a result of connectivity losses, the overall av...
—Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all ag...
Effective security mechanisms are essential to the widespread deployment of pervasive systems. Much of the research focus on security in pervasive computing has revolved around dis...
A notable features of many proposed Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) deployments is their scale: hundreds to thousands of nodes linked together. In such systems, modeling the state...
— Faults in WSN are very common and appear in different levels of the system. For pervasive applications to be adopted by end-users there is a need for autonomic selfhealing. Thi...
