As the number of computing devices embedded into engineered systems continues to rise,
there is a widening gap between the needs of the user to control aggregates of devices and …

The complexity of large-scale distributed systems, particularly when deployed in physical
space, calls for new mechanisms to address composability and reusability of collective …

Cyber–physical systems increasingly feature highly-distributed and mobile deployments of
devices spread over large physical environments: in these contexts, it is generally very …

In this review, it is explained and compared different software and formalisms used in music
interaction: sequencers, computer-assisted improvisation, meta-instruments, score …

Abstract The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to bring many benefits, including
increased productivity, reduced costs, and increased safety to new generation …

We present a novel stochastic process algebra that allows the expression of models
representing systems comprised of populations of agents distributed over space, where the …

A number of recent works have investigated the notion of “computational fields” as a means
of coordinating systems in distributed, dense and mobile environments such as pervasive …

We present Spatial P systems, a variant of P systems which embodies the concept of space
and position inside a membrane. Objects in membranes are associated with positions …

We present a vision of distributed system coordination as a set of activities affecting the
space-time fabric of interaction events. In the tuple space setting that we consider …

Morphogenetic (M) systems are an abstract model of computation inspired by
morphogenetic processes in living cells and organisms. They were created as a …
