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

The article intends to demonstrate the importance of choosing suitable research methods
and techniques in the field of management science, with the goal of enhancing the …

In software engineering, knowledge about recurrent problems, along with blueprints of
associated solutions for diverse design contexts, are often captured in so-called design …

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 …

Research trends are pushing artificial intelligence (AI) across the Internet of Things (IoT)–
edge–fog–cloud continuum to enable effective data analytics, decision making, as well as …

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

Programming distributed systems is notoriously hard due to–among the others–concurrency,
asynchronous execution, message loss, and device failures. Homogeneous distributed …

This work explores the large-scale multi-agent communication mechanism for multi-agent
reinforcement learning (MARL). We summarize the general topology categories for …

Emerging cyber-physical systems, such as robot swarms, crowds of augmented people, and
smart cities, require well-crafted self-organizing behavior to properly deal with dynamic …

The Field Calculus is a promising language for the self-organisation of distributed devices,
allowing to express on a high level of abstraction complex distributed algorithms with robust …
