“…The model in the manifestation of a simulated mobile agent network can make it easier to help in detecting network problems and fix them so that network reliability is increased (Daoud & Mahmoud, 2008). Villalba and Zambonelli (2011) stated that modeling the computational elements of agents in the pervasive service framework and their interactions with ecosystems is to provide parameters for their character by getting inspiration from ecological systems. Meanwhile, according to Dezfouli, Radi, Razak, Hwee-Pink and Bakar (2015) that modeling to design and implement low-power wireless communication is needed.…”

The use of simulation tools has been widely used to learn something. Simulation tools have the advantage of imitating a process similar to the actual situation. But there are only a few researches that examine the students' engagement in using simulation tools in the learning process so that it affects the student learning outcomes. This research aims to analyze the factors of GUI simulation as learning media for learning signal coding technique based. PLS-SEM method was used to investigate the impact and the relationship of factors of GUI simulation such as easiness of use, media attractiveness and learning content toward learning outcome. The results showed that the learning content factor gave a large and significant contribution toward learning outcomes, while easiness of use and media attractiveness made a small contribution to the learning outcome.

“…Another relevant area of research is nature-inspired frameworks and models that are proposed to design future software systems. Systems are treated as a spatial Ecosystem in which services, data items, and resources are all modeled as autonomous individuals (agents) that locally act and interact in accordance with a simple set of well-defined eco-laws [1]. There are different nature-inspired metaphors that have been suggested to design future systems including physical metaphors (e.g.…”

The next generation of software systems includes systems composed of a large number of distributed, decentralized, autonomous, interacting, cooperating, organically grown, heterogeneous, and continually evolving subsystems, which we call IT Ecosystems. Clearly, we need novel models and approaches to design and develop such systems which can tackle the long-term evolution and complexity problems. In this paper, our framework to model IT-Ecosystms is a combination of centralized control and decentralized (self-organizing) approaches. We use a flexible formal model, HPobSAM, that supports both behavioral and structural adaptation/evolution. We use a detailed, close to real-life, case study of a smart airport to show how we can use HPobSAM in modeling, analyzing and developing an IT Ecosystem. We provide an executable formal specification of the model in Maude, and use LTL model checking and bounded state space search provided by Maude to analyze the model. We develop a prototype of our case study designed by HPobSAM using Java and Ponder2. Due to the complexity of the model, we can not check all properties at design time using Maude. We propose a new approach for run-time verification of our case study, and check different types of properties which we could not verify using model checking. As our model uses dynamic policies to control the behavior of systems which can be modified at runtime, it provides us a suitable capability to react to the property violation by modification of policies.

“…The social metaphor (such as the one here described but without forgetting the related body of work in market-based multi-agent systems (Vytelingum et al, 2010) and social norms (Salazar et al, 2010), similarly to the chemical one, appears suitable IJPCC 7,3 for local forms of self-organization -think at self-organized equilibria of web food patterns in ecological niches. Indeed, frameworks inspired by the social metaphor have been effectively experienced in the context of ambient intelligence systems (Agha, 2008;Villalba and Zambonelli, 2011) and of heterogeneous multi-robot systems (Cakar and Muller-Schloer, 2009).…”

Purpose-Emerging pervasive computing scenarios require open service frameworks promoting situated and self-adaptive behaviors, and supporting diversity in services and long-term evolvability. This suggests adopting a nature-inspired approach, where pervasive services are modeled and deployed as autonomous individuals in an ecosystem of other services, data sources, and pervasive devices. However, there are many possibly nature-inspired metaphors that can be adopted, and choosing one may require a careful analysis of the pros and cons of the different metaphors. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the key requirements and desiderata for next generation pervasive computing services and associated infrastructures. Design/methodology/approach-In this paper, the authors introduce and critically analyze a number of natural metaphors that can be adopted to realize these concepts and survey relevant proposals in the area. Findings-The key result of this survey is that a uniform reference architecture can be a useful guide when framing the challenges involved in the design and implementation of future self-adaptive pervasive service ecosystems. Originality/value-The survey in this paper, along with the proposed reference architecture, can be effective starting points towards the definition and implementation of general-purpose nature-inspired pervasive service ecosystems.
