The ‘engineering’ and ‘adaptive’ approaches to system production are distinguished. It is argued that producing reliable self-organised software systems (SOSS) will necessa...
Transportable agents are autonomous programs. They can move through a heterogeneous network of computers under their own control, migrating from host to host. They can sense the s...
The time-triggered message-triggered object (TMO) programming scheme has been established to remove the limitation of conventional object programming techniques and tools in devel...
