To match the complex needs of such comprehensive set of different kinds of applications, in recent times there is an emerging need for new paradigms and forms of Clouds, organised according to a federated, heterogeneous and distributed structure. To exploit heterogeneity and localisation, in order to enhance the overall performances, ensure energy efficiency, reduce costs for resource providers and in the meantime enhance the user experience, proper service placement solutions are required. However, conducting efficient deployments in such a scenario is complex due to the dynamic nature of applications, resources, users. As a consequence, there the a need for scalable, distributed, adaptive, context-aware solutions characterised by high-efficiency and reduced overhead. We propose a highly distributed, self-adaptive solution aimed at optimising the overall deployment of cloud services by means of point-to-point interactions occurring among clouds and cloudlets belonging to the same federation. The contribution of this paper is the definition of a service exchange mechanism, its Markov-chain based modelling and thorough experimental evaluation.","PeriodicalId":383753,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 10th International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO)","volume":"24 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120922615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robots executing OHE use the different sources of feedback information traditionally associated with controller evaluation to find effective evolutionary algorithms and controllers online during task execution. We present two approaches: OHE-fitness, which uses the fitness score of controllers as the criterion to select promising algorithms over time, and OHE-diversity, which relies on the behavioural diversity of controllers for algorithm selection. Both OHE-fitness and OHE-diversity are distributed across groups of robots that evolve in parallel. We assess the performance of OHE-fitness and of OHE-diversity in two foraging tasks with differing complexity, and in five configurations of a dynamic phototaxis task with varying evolutionary pressures. Results show that our OHE approaches: (i) outperform multiple state-of-the-art algorithms as they facilitate controllers with superior performance and faster evolution of solutions, and (ii) can increase effectiveness at different stages of evolution by combining the benefits of multiple algorithms over time. Overall, our study shows that OHE is an effective new paradigm to the synthesis of controllers for robots.","PeriodicalId":383753,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 10th International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129638514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fact that this problem occurs more and more often, as systems are built increasingly by composing existing sub-systems, requires rigorous, reusable integration solutions to replace ad-hoc approaches. In a complex world of uncertainty and change the new system integration paradigm must feature two main characteristics: support for a system-of-systems approach to manage complexity, and support for a high-level relation between sub-systems to manage diversity, uncertainty and dynamics. We propose a conceptual modelling solution combining holonic principles with goal-based relations. We highlight the key properties of holonic designs that support a systems-of-systems approach. We then specify the high-level relations between holonic sub-systems as goal-oriented requests and replies. Argumentation is grounded via concrete examples from existing complex systems. The proposed paradigm paves the way for future methodologies and tools for designing the next generation of socio-technical and cyber-physical systems.","PeriodicalId":383753,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 10th International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122061011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous work in self-organising multi-agent systems formalised Nicholas Rescher's theory of distributive justice so that agents could self-organise the allocation according to contextualised legitimate claims. However, although this presented a viable solution in principle, in practicethe process contained two 'expensive' voting rounds and an(albeit elected) centralised 'head' role, compromising parallelism, scalability and security. This in turn could be a hindrance to its application in large, real-life systems. In this paper, we propose an alternative solution to the problem, based on direct interaction between agents in a decentralised manner. Instead of voting, we develop an autonomous mechanism of trust and reputation calculated independently by each agent from its local observationsand interactions. Simulations demonstrate the efficiencyand effectiveness of the new solution to find fair allocations indiverse scenarios, including situations with non-compliant agents. Moreover, the effect of topology on our algorithms capacity isexamined, showing that it is possible to achieve fair solutions even when agents do not have direct access to the whole network.","PeriodicalId":383753,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 10th International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123692359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Training a model of such agents to produce an emergent behavior by specification of the emergent (as opposed to agent) behavior is easier from a demonstration perspective. While many approaches involve manual behavior specification via code or reliance on a defined taxonomy of possible behaviors, the meta-modeling framework in existing work generates mapping functions between agent-level parameters and swarm-level parameters which are re-usable once generated. This work builds on that framework by integrating demonstration by image or video. The demonstrator specifies spatial motion of the agents over time, and retrieves agent-level parameters required to execute that motion. The framework, at its core, uses computationally cheap image processing algorithms. Our work is tested with a combination of primitive visual feature extraction methods (contour area and shape) and features generated using a pre-trained deep neural network in different stages of image featurization. Experimental results show significant coherence between demonstrated behavior and predicted behavior based on estimated agent-level parameters specific to a class of behaviors (spatial arrangement of agents).","PeriodicalId":383753,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 10th International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117309234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous work has reported that some adaptive approaches to user interfaces achieve a low user satisfaction score, it has also been shown that they obtain a higher user performance score when compared with their static equivalent. This phenomenon has not been further investigated by previous research. The motivation of this paper is to further investigate this issue and consequently propose design principles for automatically changing interfaces. This is achieved by a fourfold contribution: a literature review of the current state of the art research of interface adaptation methods, the identification of the importance of spatial properties of interface elements (such as position, orientation and size) based on the review, a second literature review of human capabilities and limits that affect the perception and interpretation of spatial changes and lastly design principles for Adaptive User Interfaces are proposed that are derived based on the two literature reviews.","PeriodicalId":383753,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 10th International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116335921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Computational goals for such systems are often expressed in terms of geometric properties of the continuous environment in which the devices are situated, and the results of resilient computations should depend primarily on that continuous environment, rather than the particulars of how devices happen to be distributed through it. In this paper, we identify a new property of distributed algorithms, eventual consistency, which guarantees that computation self-stabilizes to a final state that approximates a predictable limit as the density and speed of devices increases. We then identify a large class of programs that are eventually consistent, building on prior results on the field calculus computational model to identify a class of self-stabilizing programs. Finally, we confirm through simulation of pervasive network scenarios that eventually consistent programs from this class can provide resilient behavior where programs that are only self-stabilizing fail badly.","PeriodicalId":383753,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 10th International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123787106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
