Precisely when the success of artificial intelligence (AI) sub-symbolic techniques makes
them be identified with the whole AI by many non-computer-scientists and non-technical …

It is generally accepted that the environment is an essential compound of multiagent
systems (MASs). Yet the environment is typically assigned limited responsibilities, or even …

As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, the challenging area of
wireless sensor networks is rapidly coming of age. Recent advances have made it possible …

Femtosecond laser pulses appear as an emerging and promising tool for processing wide
bandgap dielectric materials for a variety of applications. This article aims to provide an …

The term computer simulation is related to the usage of a computational model in order to
improve the understanding of a system's behavior and/or to evaluate strategies for its …

The current practice in multiagent systems typically associates the environment with
resources that are external to agents and their communication infrastructure. Advanced uses …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are difficult to program and usually run statically-installed
software limiting its flexibility. To address this, we developed Agilla, a new middleware that …

This article presents Agilla, a mobile agent middleware designed to support self-adaptive
applications in wireless sensor networks. Agilla provides a programming model in which …

LIME (Linda in a mobile environment) is a model and middleware supporting the
development of applications that exhibit the physical mobility of hosts, logical mobility of …

We argue that essential facets of Web Services (WSs), and especially, those useful to
understand their interaction, are best described using process-algebraic notations. WS …
