Computing systems have become so complex that the IT industry recognizes the necessity of deliberative methods to make these systems self-configuring, self-healing, selfoptimizin...
Emerging distributed computing scenarios call for novel “autonomic” approaches to distributed systems development and management. In this position paper we analyze the distingu...
Virtual laboratories can be characterized by their long-lasting, large-scale computations, where a collection of heterogeneous tools is integrated into data processing pipelines. S...
We propose a generic architecture to facilitate the systematic design of autonomous, adaptive and safe applications. We specify generic modules including a trustworthiness enforcem...
The important role given to domain ontologies for knowledge representation implies increasing need for development and maintenance of them. However, we have a scarcity of tools sup...
