In this paper we provide an overview of recent theoretical approaches and technologies that
respond to the fundamental challenges of modern factory automation. We classify these …

Abstract Most Internet of Things (IoT)-based service requests require excessive computation
which exceeds an IoT device's capabilities. Cloud-based solutions were introduced to …

Intending to mimic the operating mechanism of biological neural systems, a self organizing
map-based approach to task assignment of a swarm of robots in 3-D dynamic environments …

Designing a safe and effective collision avoidance policy for multiple robots is essential in
decentralized scenarios, where each robot is responsible for generating its own paths, to …

The goal of this paper is to provide a survey and application-focused atlas of collective
behavior coordination algorithms for multi-agent systems. We survey the general family of …

In service-oriented computing, a user usually needs to locate a desired service for:(i)
fulfilling her requirements or (ii) replacing a service, which disappears or is unavailable for …

Content delivery through cloud networks has gained popularity due to the cloud's ability to
provide on-demand services. However, composite services, such as customized multimedia …

Workflow compositions have been exploited in business process modelling to handle
concurrent invocations of modular components. With the emergence of Industry 4.0 …

We present a formal probabilistic framework for process learning to compose service
specific overlays (SSO) in cloud networks. The approach provides a learning mechanism …

Mobile cloud service subscribers acquire and produce both simple and complex services
resulting in tremendous amounts of stored data. Increasing demand for complex services …
