System-level design (SLD) is considered by many as the next frontier in electronic design
automation (EDA). SLD means many things to different people since there is no wide …

In today's world, services and data are integrated in ever new constellations, requiring the
easy, flexible and scalable integration of autonomous, heterogeneous components into …

Fog Computing is a new paradigm aiming at decentralizing the Cloud by geographically
distributing away computation, storage and network resources as well as related services. In …

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 architecture of a multi-agent system can naturally be viewed as a computational
organisation. For this reason, we believe organisational abstractions should play a central …

The claim that interactive systems have richer behavior than algorithms is surprisingly easy
to prove. Turing machines cannot model interaction machines (which extend Turing …

The notion of society should play a central role in agent-oriented software engineering as a
first-class abstraction around which complex systems can be designed and built as multi …

Future requirements for computing speed, system reliability, and cost-effectiveness entail the
development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization …

A tuple centre is a tuple space whose behaviour can be defined by means of reactions to
communication events. In this paper, we motivate and define the notion of tuple centre, both …

Compared to image representation based on low-level local descriptors, deep neural
activations of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are richer in mid-level representation …
