This paper uses robot experience to explore key concepts of autonomy, life and being. Unfortunately, there are no widely accepted definitions of autonomy, life or being. Using a ne...
As the complexity of computing systems steadily increases, self-managing systems – as Autonomic Computing Systems (ACS) proposed by IBM – are an adequate approach to minimize ...
Abstract. This paper presents the capabilities offered by MultiAgent System technology in the operation of a Microgrid. A Microgrid is a new type of power system, which is formed b...
The peer-to-peer paradigm shows the potential to provide the same functionality and quality like client/server based systems, but with much lower costs. In order to control the qu...
