Antifragility is one of the terms that have recently emerged with the aim of indicating a
direction that should be pursued toward the objective of designing Information and …

Autonomous systems are being discussed increasingly as a next-level system paradigm
after automated systems. Although the vision of autonomous systems seems to be on the …

In contested environments, self-exploration is a self-* property that serves as a proactive
mechanism for countering threats posed by adversaries. Specifically, self-exploration …

Recent advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and, more generally, distributed computing
research have given rise to various edge-oriented computing paradigms including Edge …

In this paper, we introduce a new meta-model that captures core concepts for constructing
software architectures for general-purpose, autonomous middleware frameworks that realize …

A resilient system can survive attacks and failures by autonomously adapting and managing
its own functionality. An antifragile system is not only resilient but is also able to enhance its …

Antifragile systems enhance their capabilities and become stronger when exposed to
adverse conditions, stresses or attacks, making antifragility a desirable property for cyber …

Resilience and antifragility under duress present significant challenges for autonomic and
self-adaptive systems operating in contested environments. In such settings, the system has …

The re-use of requirements captured during design-time for run-time decision-making
represents a popular paradigm for developing self-adaptive systems, generally termed …

To adapt to volatile edge environments this paper envisages distributed systems built from
small units of coordi-nation called microcompositions. Microcompositions decompose a …
