Aggregate computing is an emerging approach to the engineering of complex coordination
for distributed systems, based on viewing system interactions in terms of information …

Collective adaptive systems are an emerging class of networked computational systems
particularly suited for application domains such as smart cities, complex sensor networks …

As the number of computing devices embedded into engineered systems continues to rise,
there is a widening gap between the needs of the user to control aggregates of devices and …

Edge computing promotes the execution of complex computational processes without the
cloud, ie, on top of the heterogeneous, articulated, and possibly mobile systems composed …

Computation increasingly takes place not on an individual device, but distributed throughout
a material or environment, whether it be a silicon surface, a network of wireless devices, a …

Cyber–physical systems increasingly feature highly-distributed and mobile deployments of
devices spread over large physical environments: in these contexts, it is generally very …

A recently proposed approach to the rigorous engineering of collective adaptive systems is
the aggregate computing paradigm, which operationalises the idea of expressing collective …

Recent trends in the engineering of software-intensive systems increasingly promote the
adoption of computation at the edge of the network, in the proximity of where sensing and …

A key problem when coordinating the behaviour of spatially situated networks, like those
typically found in the Internet of Things (IoT), is adaptation to changes impacting network …

Self-organising systems are notoriously difficult to engineer, particularly due to the
interactions between complex specifications and the simultaneous need for efficiency and …
