This paper surveys the literature over the last decades in the field of self-organizing
multiagent systems. Self-organization has been extensively studied and applied in …

Agent-based computing is a promising approach for develo** applications in complex
domains. However, despite the great deal of research in the area, a number of challenges …

Autonomic communications seek to improve the ability of network and services to cope with
unpredicted change, including changes in topology, load, task, the physical and logical …

The current practice in multiagent systems typically associates the environment with
resources that are external to agents and their communication infrastructure. Advanced uses …

Techniques originating from the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
areas have extensively been applied to develop intelligent and pervasive systems such as …

Pervasive and mobile computing call for suitable middleware and programming models to
support the activities of complex software systems in dynamic network environments. In this …

MAHA is a program which implements an algorithm for register level synthesis of data paths
from a data flow specification. The algorithm is based on a linear hardware assignment to …

Self-organization is bound to greatly affect computer science. The simplicity and yet power of
self-organized models will allow researchers to propose efficient solutions to problems …

Stigmergy (the coordination of agents through signs they make and sense in a shared
environment) was originally articulated in the study of social insects. Its basic processes are …

Nowadays, there are many problems whose complexity is much higher than the capabilities
of modern information technologies. Such problems arise in economics, ecology, managing …
