Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, which allow for the description of preferences rather than strict requirements. In soft constraints, constraints and...
This paper presents a dependability oriented, fault tolerance based system design, development, and deployment approach. The approach relies on an architectural framework, which a...

Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, where constraints and/or partial assignments are associated to preference or importance levels, and constraints are...
Modern software control systems must cope with uncertainty, manage dynamic environments, as well as provide greater flexibility. Distributed agent-based control systems are the id...
This paper provides an overview of our framework, called physicomimetics, for the distributed control of swarms of robots. We focus on robotic behaviors that are similar to those s...
