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

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 …

A recently proposed approach to the rigorous engineering of collective adaptive systems is
the aggregate computing paradigm, which operationalises the idea of expressing collective …

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

Applause is an ancient, widespread collective behaviour by which an audience expresses
appreciation at the conclusion of a collective event such as an artistic performance or a …

Today's distributed and pervasive computing addresses large-scale cyber-physical
ecosystems, characterised by dense and large networks of devices capable of computation …

The attribute-based interaction paradigm has been proposed as an appropriate tool to
program the interactions of Collective Adaptive Systems where a group of components can …

This paper advocates behavioural abstractions for the coordination of collective adaptive
systems (CAS). In order to ground the discussion in a concrete framework, we sketch …

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

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