Autonomic computing (AC) is an intelligent computing approach that autonomously carries out robotic and interactive applications based on goal- and inference-driven mechanisms. Th...
Decentralized resource allocation is a key problem for large-scale autonomic (or self-managing) computing systems. Motivated by a data center scenario, we explore efficient techn...

This paper investigates decision-theoretic planning in sophisticated autonomous agents operating in environments of real-world complexity. An example might be a planetary rover ex...
Hot Metal Carriers (HMCs) are large forklift-type vehicles used to move molten metal in aluminium smelters. This paper reports on field experiments that demonstrate that HMCs can ...
