—“Autonomic systems” merge advancements in the field of multi-agent software design, dynamic analysis, and decentralized control in order to assist designers in constructing...
Embedded wireless networks have largely focused on openloop sensing and monitoring. To address actuation in closedloop wireless control systems there is a strong need to re-think ...
We report on a case study in the emergence of a lexicon in a group of autonomous distributed agents situated and grounded in an open environment. Because the agents are autonomous,...
To deal with the increasing complexity of embedded real-time systems the model-driven development approach has proven to be beneficial. The reduction of complexity achieved by the ...
Modern peer-to-peer file sharing systems rely heavily on the willingness of users to distribute files to others. A selfish user can choose to download a file and consume resou...
