The increasing number of robots around us creates a demand for connecting these robots in
order to achieve goal-driven teamwork in heterogeneous multi-robot systems. In this paper …

Collective adaptive systems are new emerging computational systems consisting of a large
number of interacting components and featuring complex behaviour. These systems are …

In this paper, we present AbU a new ECA-inspired calculus with attribute-based
communication, an interaction model recently introduced for coordinating large numbers of …

Event-driven programming based on Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules allows users to
define complex automation routines in a simple, declarative way; for this reason, in recent …

Building open, distributed systems while guaranteeing a specific behaviour is difficult
because of the dynamicity of the operating environments and the complexity of the …

In recent years, event-driven programming languages, in particular those based on Event
Condition Action (ECA) rules, have emerged as a promising paradigm for implementing …

Attribute-based communication is a promising paradigm for modelling and programming
complex interactions in open distributed systems such as collective adaptive systems (CAS) …

Attribute-based communication provides a novel mechanism to dynamically select groups of
communicating entities by relying on predicates over their exposed attributes. This paradigm …

Complexity of intra-and inter-systems interactions is steadily increasing in modern
application scenarios such as the Internet of Things, therefore coordination technologies are …

Collective adaptive systems exhibit a particular notion of interaction where environmental
conditions largely influence interactions. Previously, we proposed a calculus, named AbC, to …
