Agent-based computing remains an active field of research with the goal of building (semi-)
autonomous software for dynamic ecosystems. Today, this task should be realized using …

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 …

Through field calculus constructs and building-block APIs, aggregate programming could
help unlock the IoT's true potential by allowing complex distributed services to be specified …

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

Collective adaptive systems are an emerging class of networked computational systems
particularly suited for application domains such as smart cities, complex sensor networks …

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

The notion of a computational field has been proposed as a unifying abstraction for
develo** distributed systems, focusing on the computations and coordination of …

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

The complexity of large-scale distributed systems, particularly when deployed in physical
space, calls for new mechanisms to address composability and reusability of collective …

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 …
