Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as a ubiquitous and dense ecosystem in
which novel devices and smart objects interoperate to establish smart cities, smart buildings …

Aggregate computing is an emerging approach to the engineering of complex coordination
for distributed systems, based on viewing system interactions in terms of information …

In software engineering, knowledge about recurrent problems, along with blueprints of
associated solutions for diverse design contexts, are often captured in so-called design …

Edge computing promotes the execution of complex computational processes without the
cloud, ie, on top of the heterogeneous, articulated, and possibly mobile systems composed …

Technological advances have recently fostered the Internet of Things vision, in which
systems of situated entities perceive and act upon the world, and interact with one another to …

Research trends are pushing artificial intelligence (AI) across the Internet of Things (IoT)–
edge–fog–cloud continuum to enable effective data analytics, decision making, as well as …

Supported by current socio-scientific trends, programming the global behaviour of whole
computational collectives makes for great opportunities, but also significant challenges …

Emerging cyber-physical systems, such as robot swarms, crowds of augmented people, and
smart cities, require well-crafted self-organizing behavior to properly deal with dynamic …

Internet of Thing (IoT) is transforming our physical world into a giant information system,
daily providing novel, advanced, cyberphysical services. Differently from conventional …
