Nature is a neverending source of inspiration for technology. Quantum physics suggests
applications toward quantum computing. Swarms' self-organization leads to robotic swarm …

This book is the first ever to focus on the emerging field of self-aware computing from an
engineering perspective. It first comprehensively introduces fundamentals for self …

We define the notion of “self-aware computing” and the relationship of this term to related
terms such as autonomic computing, self-management, and similar. The need for a new …

In this chapter, we review the state of the art in self-aware computing systems with a
particular focus on software architectures. Therefore, we compare existing approaches …

System integration from sub-systems has always been a major engineering problem, which
is progressively exacerbated by (1) sub-systems becoming more diverse, self-* and …

Movements of robots in a swarm can be mapped to sounds, highlighting the group behavior
through the coordinated and simultaneous variations of musical parameters across time …

Internet of Things and cloud computing are two technological paradigms that reached
widespread adoption in recent years. These paradigms are complementary: IoT applications …

Smart cameras perform on-board image analysis, adapt their algorithms to changes in their
environment, and collaborate with other networked cameras to analyze the dynamic …

Modern software systems are becoming more and more socio-technical systems composed
of distributed and heterogeneous agents from a mixture of people, their environment, and …

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a loosely coupled, decentralized, and dynamic system
in which billions (even trillions) of everyday objects are endowed with intelligence …
