The different ways in which concepts within computer networks are understood by master level students who take an internationally distributed project-based course have been identi...
The concepts of autonomous agent and multi-agent system appropriate levels of abstraction for the design, implementation and simulation of many complex, distributed computational s...

Many pervasive computing software technologies are targeted for 32-bit desktop platforms. However, there are innumerable 8, 16, and 32-bit microcontroller and microprocessor-based...
Transportable agents are autonomous programs. They can move through a heterogeneous network of computers under their own control, migrating from host to host. They can sense the s...
Emerging distributed computing scenarios call for novel “autonomic” approaches to distributed systems development and management. In this position paper we analyze the distingu...
