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 …

Supported by current socio-scientific trends, programming the global behaviour of whole
computational collectives makes for great opportunities, but also significant challenges …

Recent trends in pervasive computing promote the vision of Collective Adaptive Systems
(CASs): large-scale collections of relatively simple agents that act and coordinate with no …

Engineering and programming approaches for collective adaptive systems often leverage
ensemble-like abstractions to characterise a subset of devices as a domain for a given task …

Recent research on collective adaptive systems and macro-programming has shown the
importance of programming abstractions for expressing the self-organising behaviour of …

Motivational digital systems offer capabilities to engage and motivate end-users to foster
behavioral changes towards a common goal. In general these systems use gamification …

Research and technology developments on autonomous agents and autonomic computing
promote a vision of artificial systems that are able to resiliently manage themselves and …

Modern digital systems are increasingly pervasive and autonomous, also due to the
widespread use of AI technologies. They concur to create socio-technical systems …

The term Digital Twin (DT) refers to an emerging concept and technology extending the
value of physical assets through the services supported by a bidirectional connection with …

We discuss the collaboration support of loosely coupled Smart Systems through
configurable hyper-frameworks. Based on the system-of-systems (SoS) paradigm, in this …
