Special issue on advanced technologies enabling adaptive and collaborative smart systems

摘要

The core ideas of service-based, knowledge-based and multi-agent systems more and more characterize current architectures of computer systems, which can so benefit of properties such as agility, adaptiveness and support to cooperation. These properties enable to address issues such as uncertainty of highly dynamic situations, complex problem solving and management of large quantities of data, or flexibility in facing critical states emerging in the controlled environments.
