Current computing environments are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit unpredictable workloads. These environments create challenges to the design of systems that c...
Spatial abstractions promise to be basic necessary ingredients for a novel “spatial computing” approach to distributed systems development and management, suitable to tackle th...
Abstract Virtual path management in dynamic networks poses a number of challenges related to combinatorial optimisation, fault and traffic handling. Ideally such management should ...
Decentralized peer to peer (p2p) networks like Gnutella are attractive for certain applications because they require no centralized directories and no precise control over network ...
Abstract. Peer-to-peer networks have often been touted as the ultimate solution to scalability. Although cooperative techniques have been initially used almost exclusively for cont...
Abstract. This paper describes the application of a decentralised coordination algorithm, called Collaborative Reinforcement Learning (CRL), to two different distributed system pr...

In this paper, we envision a world where a software engineer could take an existing software system, specify, for a set of properties of interest, an objective, conditions for chan...
Fractal proteins are an evolvable method of mapping genotype to phenotype through a developmental process, where genes are expressed into proteins comprised of subsets of the Mande...
