The implementation of software systems with large numbers of heterogeneous components calls for a powerful design methodology. Although several such methodologies have been propos...
Self-organising systems are a popular engineering concept for designing decentralised autonomic computing systems. They are able to find solutions in complex and versatile problem ...
In this paper, we describe “The Other Brother”, a semiautonomous device that captures images and video of spontaneous moments in the course of everyday life. It was our goal t...
The aim of this work is the design of a framework for the revision of knowledge in abductive reasoning agents, based on interaction. We address issues such as: how to exploit knowl...
In many task-planning domains, dynamic assemblies of autonomous agents are replacing hierarchical organisations because they promise more agility. In such assemblies, interdepende...
