Web infrastructures and coordination architectures for collaborative applications - Shared artifacts, a shared language, or shared spaces?
No full textThe attendees of the workshop "Web Infrastructures and Coordination Architectures for Collaborative Applications" tried to develop a joint opinion how the Web and its infrastructure should develop to become a productive environment for collaborative applications. This paper sketches the different approaches presented in the workshop and summarizes the consolidated results of the discussions

2nd FOCAS workshop on fundamentals of collective adaptive systems
No full textThe FoCAS workshop focuses on identifying and addressing challenges related to the development of collective adaptive systems - systems composed of massive numbers of components in which both invidual elements and the system as whole adapt to changing execution conditions. The 2014 workshop at SASO is the 2nd occurrence of the workshop, following the first successful FOCAS workshop held at the European Conference on ALife (ECAL) in 2013
Introduction
No full textA True Story Los Angeles, California, December 10, 2012, 9:00 AM. John has just arrived at his office and is trying to access his email but experiences many problems. The performance is slow, timeouts expire, and he receives a number of “Server Error 502" messages. He is wondering whether the problem is with his client, with the network connection, or with the server. He cannot know that thousands of other users are experiencing similar problems-not only with emails but also with other services from the same provider
Adaptive, dynamic, and resilient systems
No full textAs the complexity of today’s networked computer systems grows, they become increasingly difficult to understand, predict, and control. Addressing these challenges requires new approaches to building these systems. Adaptive, Dynamic, and Resilient Systems supplies readers with various perspectives of the critical infrastructure that systems of networked computers rely on. It introduces the key issues, describes their interrelationships, and presents new research in support of these areas. The book presents the insights of a different group of international experts in each chapter. Reporting on recent developments in adaptive systems, it begins with a survey of application fields. It explains the requirements of such fields in terms of adaptation and resilience. It also provides some abstract relationship graphs that illustrate the key attributes of distributed systems to supply you with a better understanding of these factors and their dependencies. The text examines resilient adaptive systems from the perspectives of mobile, infrastructure, and enterprise systems and protecting critical infrastructure. It details various approaches for building adaptive, dynamic, and resilient systems-including agile, grid, and autonomic computing; multi-agent-based and biologically inspired approaches; and self-organizing systems. The book includes many stories of successful applications that illustrate a diversified range of cutting-edge approaches. It concludes by covering related topics and techniques that can help to boost adaptation and resilience in your systems
