Abstract:Innovative frameworks have to be identified for the deployment and execution of pervasive service systems. These systems, composed by a massive number of components, should be able to exhibit properties of self-organization and self-adaptability, and of long-lasting evolvability. In this context, this paper discusses how such frameworks should get inspiration from natural systems. In particular, we focus on ecological systems that model and deploy services as autonomous individuals (i.e., agents), spatiallysit… Show more
