This paper provides an overview of the design of biomimetic building skins. Many types of
smart and responsive building envelopes have been developed, but their improvement to …

Context: Championed by IBM's vision of autonomic computing paper in 2003, the autonomic
computing research field has seen increased research activity over the last 20 years …

Most research in the field of anaphora or coreference detection has been limited to noun
phrase coreference, usually on a restricted set of entities, such as ACE entities. In part, this …

Self-adaptive systems have the ability to adapt their behavior to dynamic operating
conditions. In reaction to changes in the environment, these systems determine the …

Self-adaptivity enables flexible solutions in dynamically changing environments. However,
due to the increasing complexity, uncertainty, and topology changes in cyber-physical …

In this paper we present results gathered from field trials while using a pervasive game,
called Geo-Zombie. It intermixes reality with virtual zombies, providing a game experience to …

A key challenge in cyber-physical systems (CPS) design is their highly dynamic nature
including runtime changes of system goals. Additional safety regulations or changed …

Self-adaptive systems have the ability to adapt their behavior to dynamic operation
conditions. In reaction to changes in the environment, these systems determine the …

Replication plays an essential role for in-memory distributed transactional platforms, given
that it represents the primary means to ensure data durability. Unfortunately, no single …

The development of self-adaptive software requires the engineering of an adaptation engine
that controls the underlying adaptable software by a feedback loop. State-of-the-art …
