We analyze the conditions for agency in natural and artificial systems. In the case of basic (natural) autonomous systems, self-construction and activity in the environment are two...
Traffic information systems based on mobile, in-car sensor technology are a challenge for data management systems as a huge amount of data has to be processed in real-time. Data m...
Distributed systems such as Peer-to-Peer overlays have been shown to efficiently support the processing of range queries over large numbers of participating hosts. In such system...

The coupled problem with Stokes flow in one subdomain and a Darcy flow model in a second subdomain is studied in this paper. Both flow problems are treated as first-order syste...
We present a stochastic Petri net model of a replicated file system in a distributed environment where replicated files reside on different hosts and a voting algorithm is used to...
