The complexity of large-scale distributed systems, particularly when deployed in physical space, calls for new mechanisms to address composability and reusability of collective …
Abstract The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to bring many benefits, including increased productivity, reduced costs, and increased safety to new generation …
A key problem when coordinating the behaviour of spatially situated networks, like those typically found in the Internet of Things (IoT), is adaptation to changes impacting network …
Abstract Service engineering of digital service ecosystems can be associated with several challenges, such as change and evolution of requirements; gathering of quality …
Recent work in the area of coordination models and collective adaptive systems promotes a view of distributed computations as functional blocks manipulating data structures spread …
A number of recent works have investigated the notion of “computational fields” as a means of coordinating systems in distributed, dense and dynamic environments such as pervasive …
Field-based coordination has been proposed as a model for coordinating collective adaptive systems, promoting a view of distributed computations as functions manipulating data …

Emerging network scenarios require the development of solid large-scale situated systems. Unfortunately, the diffusion/aggregation computational processes therein often introduce a …
We introduce the notion of'aggregate plan', as a specification of the collective behaviour of a team of agents embedded in space. Aggregate plans are managed by self-organisation …
