For long, node cooperation has been exploited as a data relaying mechanism. However, the wireless channel allows for much richer interaction between nodes. One such scenario is in...
Increasingly, many data sources appear as online databases, hidden behind query forms, thus forming what is referred to as the deep web. It is desirable to have systems that can pr...
Complexity of near future and even nowadays applications is exponentially increasing. In order to tackle the design of such complex systems, being able to engineer self-organising ...
In the last few years, the University of Aveiro, Portugal, has been offering several distance learning courses over the Web, using e-learning platforms. Experience showed that dif...
When developping multi-agent systems (MAS) or models in the context of agent-based simulation (ABS), the tuning of the model constitutes a crucial step of the design process. Inde...
