The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the recently published literature on
the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) and integrate the insights it articulates on big data …

Macroprogramming refers to the theory and practice of expressing the macro (scopic)
behaviour of a collective system using a single program. Macroprogramming approaches …

The massive growth of diversified smart devices and continuous data generation poses a
challenge to communication architectures. To deal with this problem, communication …

Collectiveness is an important property of many systems—both natural and artificial. By
exploiting a large number of individuals, it is often possible to produce effects that go far …

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 …

Several cities have recently moved towards becoming smart cities for better services and
quality of life for residents and visitors, with: optimized resource utilization; increased …

Programming distributed systems is notoriously hard due to–among the others–concurrency,
asynchronous execution, message loss, and device failures. Homogeneous distributed …

Cyber–physical systems increasingly feature highly-distributed and mobile deployments of
devices spread over large physical environments: in these contexts, it is generally very …

Swarm behaviour engineering is an area of research that seeks to investigate methods for
coordinating computation and action within groups of simple agents to achieve complex …
