Holonic and agent-based paradigms are very suitable in the development of distributed manufacturing control systems, taking advantage of their modularity, decentralization, and abi...
One of the issues in software evolution is debugging. Debugging large and complex software systems evolved requires a lot of effort since it is very difficult to localize and ide...
IT today is driven by the trend of increasing scale and complexity. Utility and Grid computing models, PlanetLab, and traditional data centers, are reaching the scale of thousands...
