The notion of a computational field has been proposed as a unifying abstraction for
developing distributed systems, focusing on the computations and coordination of …

In this paper we address the engineering of complex and emerging computational systems
featuring situatedness, adaptivity and self-organisation, like pervasive computing …

Pervasive computing systems can be modelled effectively as populations of interacting
autonomous components. The key challenge to realizing such models is in getting …

The notion of a computational field has been proposed as a unifying abstraction for
constructing and reasoning about large and self-organising networks of devices, focusing on …

An adaptive system is able to adapt at runtime to dynamically changing environments and to
new requirements. Adaptive systems can be single adaptive entities or collective ones that …

Ten years ago, researchers in multi-agent systems became more and more aware that agent
systems consist of more than only agents. The series of workshops on Environments for …

An adaptive system is able to adapt at runtime to dynamically changing environments and to
new requirements. Adaptive systems can be single adaptive entities or collective ones that …

Computational fields are spatially distributed data structures created by
diffusion/aggregation processes, designed to adapt their shape to the topology of the …
