—Distance sensitivity is a locality concept that is useful for designing scalable wireless sensor network applications. In this paper, we formally define distance sensitivity an...
—An open issue in self-organisation is how to control the emergence of behaviour. This issue is also of interest for engineering holonic multi-agent systems as any level of a hol...
The SYMBRION project is concerned with the development of super-large swarms of robots that dock with each other and symbiotically share energy and computational resources to form...

—When programming a spatial computing medium such as a cellular automaton, the hop count distance to some set of sources (particles) is an often used information. In particular, ...
Innovative paradigms and frameworks have to be identified to enable the effective deployment and execution of pervasive computing services. Such frameworks must be conceived so a...

Ambient Intelligence scenarios can be deployed even when the environment lacks of a underlying network infrastructure. This can be done using distributed ad-hoc networks. Ambient ...
Many authors recognize the limitations of hierarchical Grid scheduling in scalable environments, and proposed peer-to-peer solutions to this problem. However, most peerto-peer gri...
