When software products are assembled from pre-defined components, performance prediction should be based on the components also. This supports rapid model-building, using previous...
Despite the acceptance of FIPA-ACL as a standard for agent communications, there exist a gap between its specification and infrastructures to support interactions among agents. The...
The development of communications services for distributed applications that are both well-structured (layered) and efficient can be difficult. This paper presents a C++ framework...
Many missions are deemed dangerous or impractical to perform by humans, but can use collaborating, self-managing Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs) which adapt their behaviour to ...
One of the challenges in development of embedded systems is to cope with hardware and software components simultaneously. Often is their integration cumbersome due to their incomp...
