Self-adaptive Systems (SaS) enable the structural or behavioral adaptation at runtime in response to context changes or user's new needs without interruption in their execution. In service-based SaS, the adaptation activity ...

A systems science examination of the Earth's fully interconnected dynamic magnetosphere is presented. Here the magnetospheric system (a.k.a. the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere system) is considered to be comprised ...

The present article aims at observing the possible interactions/cognitions of users, based on the activities and events that take place in the built spaces of a public building wherein educational, ludic, creative and ...

Behavioural robustness at antibody and immune network level is discussed. The robustness of the immune response that drives an autonomous mobile robot is examined with two computational experiments in the autonomous mobile ...

Traditionally, the aging process has been viewed as something negative, a phenomenon that eventually results in frailty. However, the development and adaptive processes involved with the aging process are now understood ...

The development of Self-adaptive Software (SaS) presents specific innovative features compared to traditional ones since this type of software constantly deals with structural and/or behavioral changes at runtime. Capabilities ...

A systems science examination of the Earth's fully interconnected dynamic magnetosphere is presented. Here the magnetospheric system (a.k.a. the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere system) is considered to be comprised ...

X-ray testing of complex objects - such as luggage screening at airports - is usually performed manually. This is not always effective, since it depends strongly on the pose of the objects of interest (target objects) and ...

Modelling physical activity is a recent research topic in the field of user modelling. In our research, we aim to model complex activities such as those required to master the practice of a martial art. In particular, in ...
