In this paper, we present TOTA (“Tuples On The Air”), a novel middleware to coordinate the movements of a large number of autonomous components (i.e. agents) in a ubiquitous co...
In a future networked physical world, a myriad of smart sensors and actuators assess and control aspects of their environments and autonomously act in response to it. Examples ran...
—The ever increasing scale and complexity of large computational systems ask for sophisticated management tools, paving the way toward Autonomic Computing. A first step toward A...
Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
Autonomic computing – self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing applications, systems and networks – is widely believed to be a promising solution to everincreasing syst...
