Current network protocols must comply with rigid interfaces and rules of behavior to fit into well defined, vertical protocol stacks. It is difficult for network designers to offe...
A central challenge in computer science and knowledge representation is the integration of conceptual frameworks for continuous and discrete change, as exemplified by the theory ...
This paper examines how methods inspired by biological processes can be applied to the design of large-scale environment-aware sensor networks. Our ultimate goal are systems conta...
The lifecycle for industrial applications are becoming shorter, the application complexity increases, performance is to low, fault tolerance is required, reuse of components is de...
Large and complex software systems contain a variety of entities objects and a complex control system transformationfunction. The pure object-orienteddesign and structured des...
