A short cover time is important for search or foraging applications that require mobile agents to quickly inspect or monitor nodes in a network, such as providing situational awareness or security. Speed can be achieved if details about the graph are known or if the agent maintains a history of visited nodes, however, these requirements may not be feasible for agents with limited resources, they are difficult in dynamic graph topologies, and they do not easily scale to large networks. This paper introduces a set-based form of heading (directional bias) that allows an agent to more efficiently explore any connected graph, static or dynamic. When deciding the next node to visit, agents are discouraged from visiting nodes that neighbor both their previous and current locations. Modifying a traditional movement method, e.g., random walk, with this concept encourages an agent to move toward nodes that are less likely to have been previously visited, reducing cover time. Simulation results with grid, scale-free, and minimum distance graphs demonstrate heading can consistently reduce cover time as compared to non-heading movement techniques.","PeriodicalId":6458,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Workshops","volume":"34 1","pages":"120-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77623536","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}

However, assuring that the adaptation goals are satisfied poses complex challenges. We recently developed the ActivFORMS approach that aims to tackle some of these challenges, but further research is required to evaluate the approach. This paper presents the results of a study in which we applied ActivFORMS to a mobile storytelling application that employs a social recommender. The initial version of the application used a static recommender that could not deal with changing environment conditions, or take into account preferences of users. To that end, we added a self-adaptive layer on top of the application. The study results show that self-adaptation significantly increases the quality of recommendations compared to the initial version by: (1) enabling the social recommender to adapt to the quality of user input and unavailability of the GPS service, and (2) making the recommender adaptive to user preferences. Providing guarantees for these adaptation goals is crucial in this domain from a business perspective. The study results show the feasibility and effectiveness of ActivFORMS for a practical application, but they also underpin the need for an integrated verification approach for self-adaptive systems that combines offline with online verification.","PeriodicalId":6458,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Workshops","volume":"100 1","pages":"110-119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86424284","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}

Clarke","doi":"10.1109/SASOW.2014.23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SASOW.2014.23","url":null,"abstract":"Self-adaptive systems are required to continually adapt themselves to changing environment conditions in order to maintain good quality of service. Such systems typically implement a set of self-properties (e.g., self-monitoring, self-improvement) to improve an adaptation and system's performance. Some of these properties can contribute to selection of an adequate adaptation solution with the use of decision making techniques. Appropriate decision-making technique should not only select a good quality solution to enhance performance, but also do this within a specified time bound when applied in a time-constrained environment. There are many different decision-making methods that can provide an adaptation solution, but not all are suitable for dynamic, self-adaptive systems. In this paper, we outline different decision-making techniques and implement three representative ones in a time-constrained, self-adaptive system case study -- the virtual machine (VM) placement problem. The techniques implemented are Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Q-learning, and a technique that models the problem as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). We compare these techniques against metrics such as execution time and decision quality.","PeriodicalId":6458,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Workshops","volume":"33 1","pages":"137-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86502910","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}
