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...
Detection and diagnosis of faults in a large-scale distributed system is a formidable task. Interest in monitoring and using traces of user requests for fault detection has been o...
In this paper we implement a computational model of a neuromodulatory system in an autonomous robot. The output of the neuromodulatory system acts as a value signal, modulating wi...
—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...
Autonomous robots that can adapt to novel situations has been a long standing vision of robotics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive sciences. Early approaches to this goal du...
