Abstract. We describe an analytic approach, multiscale analysis, that can demonstrate the fundamental limitations of decomposition based engineering for the development of highly c...
Cellular automata (CA) are highly parallel and discrete dynamical systems, whose behavior is completely specified in terms of a local relation. They were successfully applied for s...
Due to the increasing complexity, the behavior of large-scale distributed systems becomes difficult to predict. The ability of on-line identification and autotuning of adaptive co...
Game theory is emerging as a popular tool for distributed control of multiagent systems. In order to take advantage of these game theoretic tools the interactions of the autonomous...
Abstract. In a component-based system, connectors are used to compose components. Connectors should have a semantics that makes them simple to construct and use. At the same time, ...
