This work proposes a reservation system that exploits communication between vehicles and city infrastructure to reduce the time a road user needs to find parking. The system is designed to manage the coexistence of next-generation vehicles, that communicate with city infrastructure and traditional vehicles that don't. We reconstructed an IoT-instrumented urban area using the MATSim simulator to evaluate the system. The proposed system reduces the parking search time of next-generation vehicles without disadvantaging traditional vehicles, making it a candidate for scenarios where both vehicle types coexist.

The focus of research in MCS has been to provide timing assurances for jobs with different criticality levels. Due to their significant processing demands and energy-aware/constrained nature, energy conservation in these systems is becoming mandatory. This article presents, mcDVFS, an energy management technique based on Dynamic-Voltage-and-Frequency-Scaling for multi-core MCS. mcDVFS achieves significant energy reduction while maintaining timing guarantees. It also prioritizes quality of service whenever feasible. Extensive experimental simulations show energy savings of ≈ 52% and 34% when compared to EDF-VD and EDF-VD with QoS.","PeriodicalId":45411,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Parallel Emergent and Distributed Systems","volume":"38 1","pages":"440 - 458"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48305269","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}

A key point of adaptive systems is that they provide alternative options for acting and designers have to weight the number and elaboration of these alternatives. Here, we concentrate on organisation-oriented MAS and show that organisational models provide suitable means for identifying key measures of this adaptivity. We derive measures both from the static description of the organisation as well as from the induced adaptation dynamics grounded on a Markovian analysis of the behaviour. These measures allow for a goal-directed planning of adaption.","PeriodicalId":45411,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Parallel Emergent and Distributed Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47197576","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 the integration of Cloud, Fog, and Edge computing can address various challenges, it can also pose some difficulties, including resource allocation, resource scheduling, and task scheduling. To address these challenges and enhance the productivity and sustainability of Smart Agriculture, this paper presents a novel architecture based on Cloud, Fog, Edge computing, and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), incorporating the concept of Digital Twin.
