Despite the tremendous progress in robotic hardware and in both sensorial and computing efficiencies the performance of contemporary autonomous robots is still far below that of ...
Information systems now form the backbone of nearly every government and private system. Increasingly these systems are networked together allowing for distributed operations, sha...

Service-oriented architectures enable services to be dynamically selected and integrated at runtime, thus enabling system flexibility and adaptiveness—autonomic attributes that...
Personal robots for human entertainment form a new class of computer-based entertainment that is beginning to become commercially and computationally practical. We expect a princi...
Exploiting autonomic adaptation in defending a distributed application is a relatively new research area. We describe how the QuO adaptive middleware was used to implement auto-ad...
