The decomposition of design patterns into simpler elements may reduce significantly the creation of variants in forward engineering, while it increases the possibility of identify...
Design patterns encode proven solutions to recurring design problems. To use a design pattern properly, we need to 1) understand the design problem the pattern resolves, 2) recogn...
There is little or no guidance to systematically design a self-organising emergent solution that achieves the desired macroscopic behaviour. This paper describes decentralised coor...
This paper surveys the current state of the art in agentoriented software engineering, focusing on the area of coordinated multi-agent systems. In multi-agent systems, the interac...
Security patterns capture best practice on secure software design and development. They document typical solutions to security problems. To ensure security, large software system ...
