There exist distributed scenarios in which the need for dynamism, mobility, and adaptivity, has to be addressed with highly dynamical approaches. These scenarios present different ...
Adaptive security is based on the observation that the security requirements of a system or service heavily depend on the environment in which they operate and should therefore be...
In many studies of self-organized criticality (SOC), branching processes were used to model the dynamics of the activity of the system during avalanches. This mathematical simpliï...
A MAS architecture consisting of service centers is proposed. Within each service center, a mediator coordinates service delivery by allocating individual tasks to corresponding t...
This paper presents an innovative hierarchical feedback adaptation method that efficiently controls the dynamic QoS behavior of real-time distributed data-flow applications, such ...
