Towards Swarm Calculus: Universal Properties of Swarm Performance and Collective Decisions
Posted on January 8, 2013 |By Heiko Hamann http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-32650-9_15?CFID=230861028&CFTOKEN=49429442 The search for generally applicable methods in swarm intelligence aims to gain new insights about natural swarms and to develop design methodologies for artificial swarms. The ideal would be a ‘swarm calculus’ that allows to calculate key features such as expected... -
Don’t Go With The Ant Flow: Ant-Inspired Traffic Routing In Urban Environments
Posted on January 8, 2013 |by Jorg Dallmeyer, Rene ́Schumann, Andreasd Lattner, Andingoj Timm Proceedings of the 7th. International Workshop on Agents in Traffic and Transportation (ATT 2012) held at AAMAS 2012 This interesting paper addresses dynamic routing problems where the load of roads is taken into account dynamically. It... -

On the Feasibility of Side-Channel Attacks with Brain-Computer Interface: Ivan Martinovic, Doug Davies, Mario Frank, Daniele Perito, Tomas Ros, Dawn Song
Posted on September 13, 2012 |USENIX Security Symposium, Bellevue, WA, USA: August 8-10, 2012 This fascinating article describes security issues related to a novel and intriguing set of pervasive devices: brain computer interfaces. This kind of devices, like electroencephalographs (EEG), are moving beyond medical applications and are entering our everyday... -
Towards Self-Awareness in Cloud Markets: A Monitoring Methodology. By Ivan Breskovic, Christian Haas, Simon Caton, Ivona Brandic.
Posted on October 13, 2011 |9th IEEE International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing (DASC 2011), December 12-14, 2011, Sydney, Australia Monitoring and measuring are two important aspects that can enable self-awareness of complex systems. This paper presents an interesting approach applied to cloud markets, based on a set... -
Apoptotic Computing: Programmed Death by Default for Computer-Based Systems by R. Sterritt
Posted on August 15, 2011 |http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=5688151 “Apoptosis” if a mechanism of biological cells that enables to self-destruct when need (i.e., when they become not useful or even dangerous). The author connects this mechanism to autonomic computing discussing Apoptotic Computing. An interesting paper in particular in the context of the application... -
The Challenge of Developing Autonomic Systems by E. Vassev, M. Hinchey
Posted on August 15, 2011 |http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=5662557 The authors of this paper list the requirements of developing autonomic systems and point out that awareness is one of the key issues. They sketch also how awareness can be implemented, highlighting different aspects such as monitoring, adaptability, autonomy, dinamicity, robustness and mobility. A...
