The complexity of information systems is increasing in recent years, leading to increased
effort for maintenance and configuration. Self-adaptive systems (SASs) address this issue …

Context: Software engineering for ubiquitous systems has experienced an important and
rapid growth, however the vast research corpus makes it difficult to obtain valuable …

Reservation-based operating systems provide applications with guaranteed and timely
access to system resources. One of their chief benefits is temporal isolation, which prevents …

The evolution and increasing commoditization of home and building automation systems
(HBAS) is contributing to their widespread adoption. However, an effort must still be made to …

Driven by the increasing diffusion of embedded sensors and actuators, and more in general
by “Internet of Things”(IoT) devices, pervasive computing is becoming a reality. Yet, most …

Due to the inherent nature of their heterogeneity, resource scarcity and dynamism, the
provision of middleware for future networked embedded environments is a challenging task …

The CRN Toolbox enables fast implementation of activity and context recognition systems,
featuring mechanisms for distributed processing and support for mobile and wearable …

Given the increasing complexity of Chip Multi-Processors (CMPs), a wide range of
architecture parameters must be explored at design time to find the best trade-off in terms of …

In this paper the RUNES approach to the development of software for networked embedded
systems is described. There is a need for a program platform with abstractions that are able …

Abstract Home and Building Automation Systems (HBAS) are becoming of widespread
adoption. When distinct users interact with such systems, their intentions are likely to be …
