The nearly three dozen core technologies of computing sit in a simple framework defined by great principles and by computing practices. The great principles are of two kinds, mech...
The ODP computational viewpoint describes the functionality of a system and its environment, in terms of a configuration of objects which interact at interfaces. Computational obj...
As the complexity of computing systems steadily increases, self-managing systems – as Autonomic Computing Systems (ACS) proposed by IBM – are an adequate approach to minimize ...
Conventional resource management systems use a system model to describe resources and a centralized scheduler to control their allocation. We argue that this paradigm does not ada...
Over the course of the first few months of life, our brains accomplish a remarkable feat. They are able to interpret complex visual images so that instead of being just disconnec...
