We describe a real-time, component-based system for an inspection application. We chose the inspection application and the accompanying task (or scenario) so that we might fully e...
A key objective for ubiquitous environments is to enable system interoperability between system’s components that are highly heterogeneous. In particular, the challenge is to emb...
Information System Engineering has become under increasing pressure to come up with software solutions that endow systems with the agility that is required to evolve in a continual...
This paper presents XMARS, a programmable coordination architecture for Internet applications based on mobile agents. In XMARS, agents coordinate – both with each other and with...
Components in a decentralised system are faced with uncertainty as how to best adapt to a changing environment to maintain or optimise system performance. How can individual compo...
