Precisely when the success of artificial intelligence (AI) sub-symbolic techniques makes
them be identified with the whole AI by many non-computer-scientists and non-technical …

A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical asset reproducing its data model, its
behaviour and its communication with other physical assets. Digital twins act as a digital …

This paper brings together agent oriented programming, organisation oriented programming
and environment oriented programming, all of which are programming paradigms that …

In recent years, digital twins have been pervading different application domains—from
manufacturing to healthcare—as an approach for virtualising different kinds of physical …

Abstract Digital Twins (DTs) are emerging as a fundamental brick of engineering Cyber-
Physical Systems (CPSs), but their notion is still mostly bound to specific business domains …

This article introduces the notion of environment programming in software multi-agent
systems (MAS) and describes a concrete computational and programming model based on …

The social and organisational aspects of agency have led to a good amount of theoretical
work in terms of formal models and theories. However, the conception and engineering of …

CArtAgO is a platform and infrastructure providing ageneral-purpose programming model for
building shared computational worlds–referred here as work environments–that agents …

In this paper we address the engineering of complex and emerging computational systems
featuring situatedness, adaptivity and self-organisation, like pervasive computing …

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 …
