Self-adaptive software is capable of evaluating and changing its own behavior, whenever
the evaluation shows that the software is not accomplishing what it was intended to do, or …

Abstract Cyber–Physical Systems (CPS) refer to a new generation of systems where the
cyber and physical layers are–strongly–interconnected. The development of these systems …

Change is an essential characteristic of software development, as software systems must
respond to evolving requirements, platforms, and other environmental pressures. In this …

The complexity of managing multiagent systems (MASs) in autonomic computing can be
mitigated using a self-adaptation approach, where systems are equipped to monitor and …

Abstract Engineering Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is challenging, as these systems have
to handle uncertainty and change during operation. A typical approach to deal with …

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 …

This paper addresses a gap in handling multi-agent business processes that has prevented
their larger-scale adoption in practice: the lack of a conceptual modeling approach that is …

The continuous integration of software-intensive systems together with the ever-increasing
computing power offer a breeding ground for intelligent agents and multi-agent systems …

CAD modelling can be referred to as the process of generating an integrated multiple view
model as a representation of multiple views of engineering design. In many situations, a …

We describe a framework for top-down centralized self-adaptive MASs where adaptive
agents are “protocol-driven” and adaptation consists in runtime protocol switch. Protocol …
