In the last decade, bio-inspired self-organising mechanisms have been applied to different
domains, achieving results beyond traditional approaches. However, researchers usually …

This article reviews the existing work in self-healing and self-repairing technologies,
including work in software engineering, materials, mechanics, electronics, MEMS, self …

The complexity of information systems is increasing in recent years, leading to increased
effort for maintenance and configuration. Self-adaptive systems (SASs) address this issue …

In software engineering, knowledge about recurrent problems, along with blueprints of
associated solutions for diverse design contexts, are often captured in so-called design …

Nowadays, there are many problems whose complexity is much higher than the capabilities
of modern information technologies. Such problems arise in economics, ecology, managing …
