Service-oriented architectures enable services to be dynamically selected and integrated at runtime, thus enabling system flexibility and adaptiveness—autonomic attributes that...
Software composition is critical for building large-scale applications. In this paper, we consider the composition of components that are methods offered by heterogeneous, autonomo...
Complex systems are those systems composed of many, often very simple, interacting autonomous entities. Interactions between these entities give rise to behaviour and patterns at t...
—Grid system software is inherently complex, hard to build and maintain. In this paper, we propose a selfmanaging building block: Grid Unit, which facilitates constructing Grid s...
