Future software systems will be highly dynamic. We are already experiencing, for example, a
world where Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) play a more and more crucial role. CPSs …

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

Smart spaces are inherently complex and dynamic systems, where diverse devices,
sensors, actuators and computational elements need to interact with one another. A …

Ubiquitous and context-aware sensors are increasing in number and aim at providing
comfort and better life quality. They are spatially distributed and their computation capacity …

Chemical-based coordination models have proven useful to engineer self-organising and
