In this chapter, we present some of the biologically-inspired approaches, developed within the context of the European project BIONETS for enabling autonomic pervasive computing en...
An system-level power management technique for massively distributed wireless microsensor networks is proposed. A power aware sensor node model is introduced which enables the embe...
A spatial computer is a distributed multi-agent system that is embedded in a geometric space. A key challenge is engineering local agent interaction rules that enable spatial comp...
Adaptation in embedded processing is key in order to address efficiency. The concept of extensible embedded processors works well if a few a-priori known hot spots exist. However,...
Abstract—On-chip power density and temperature are rising exponentially with decreasing feature sizes. This alarming trend calls for temperature management at every level of syst...
