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

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

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

Research trends are pushing artificial intelligence (AI) across the Internet of Things (IoT)–
edge–fog–cloud continuum to enable effective data analytics, decision making, as well as …

Supported by current socio-scientific trends, programming the global behaviour of whole
computational collectives makes for great opportunities, but also significant challenges …

Emerging cyber-physical systems, such as robot swarms, crowds of augmented people, and
smart cities, require well-crafted self-organizing behavior to properly deal with dynamic …

The Field Calculus is a promising language for the self-organisation of distributed devices,
allowing to express on a high level of abstraction complex distributed algorithms with robust …

Several distributed programming language solutions have been proposed to reason about
the placement of data, computations, and peers interaction. Such solutions include, among …

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