An Analysis of Deductive-Query Processing Approaches for Logic Macroprograms in Wireless Sensor Networks
Logic macroprogramming paradigms for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are rule-based abstractions for programming a network as a whole. Programmers only focus on the main objective of the network rather than the low-level implementation details on each node. Therefore, the low-level details are automatically handled by underlying middleware of the paradigms. To be viable, the middleware must efficiently handle the underlying issues as well as effectively minimize energy consumption and communication overhead. Not surprisingly, one major underlying issue in logic macroprogramming systems is deductive-query processing. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of deductive-query processing and identify what have been overlooked in those previous approaches. Furthermore, we overview, analyze, and compare several recent approaches for deductive-query processing of logic macroprograms in WSNs. Our analysis reveals several important aspects that should be considered when designing such systems
Engineering Self-Adaptive Collective Processes for Cyber-Physical Ecosystems
The pervasiveness of computing and networking is creating significant opportunities for building valuable socio-technical systems. However, the scale, density, heterogeneity, interdependence, and QoS constraints of many target systems pose severe operational and engineering challenges. Beyond individual smart devices, cyber-physical collectives can provide services or solve complex problems by leveraging a âsystem effectâ while coordinating and adapting to context or environment change. Understanding and building systems exhibiting collective intelligence and autonomic capabilities represent a prominent research goal, partly covered, e.g., by the field of collective adaptive systems. Therefore, drawing inspiration from and building on the long-time research activity on coordination, multi-agent systems, autonomic/self-* systems, spatial computing, and especially on the recent aggregate computing paradigm, this thesis investigates concepts, methods, and tools for the engineering of possibly large-scale, heterogeneous ensembles of situated components that should be able to operate, adapt and self-organise in a decentralised fashion. The primary contribution of this thesis consists of four main parts. First, we define and implement an aggregate programming language (ScaFi), internal to the mainstream Scala programming language, for describing collective adaptive behaviour, based on field calculi. Second, we conceive of a âdynamic collective computationâ abstraction, also called aggregate process, formalised by an extension to the field calculus, and implemented in ScaFi. Third, we characterise and provide a proof-of-concept implementation of a middleware for aggregate computing that enables the development of aggregate systems according to multiple architectural styles. Fourth, we apply and evaluate aggregate computing techniques to edge computing scenarios, and characterise a design pattern, called Self-organising Coordination Regions (SCR), that supports adjustable, decentralised decision-making and activity in dynamic environments.Con lo sviluppo di informatica e intelligenza artificiale, la diffusione pervasiva di device computazionali e la crescente interconnessione tra elementi fisici e digitali, emergono innumerevoli opportunitĂ per la costruzione di sistemi socio-tecnici di nuova generazione. Tuttavia, l'ingegneria di tali sistemi presenta notevoli sfide, data la loro complessitĂ âsi pensi ai livelli, scale, eterogeneitĂ , e interdipendenze coinvolti. Oltre a dispositivi smart individuali, collettivi cyber-fisici possono fornire servizi o risolvere problemi complessi con un âeffetto sistemaâ che emerge dalla coordinazione e l'adattamento di componenti fra loro, l'ambiente e il contesto. Comprendere e costruire sistemi in grado di esibire intelligenza collettiva e capacitĂ autonomiche Ăš un importante problema di ricerca studiato, ad esempio, nel campo dei sistemi collettivi adattativi. PerciĂČ, traendo ispirazione e partendo dall'attivitĂ di ricerca su coordinazione, sistemi multiagente e self-*, modelli di computazione spazio-temporali e, specialmente, sul recente paradigma di programmazione aggregata, questa tesi tratta concetti, metodi, e strumenti per l'ingegneria di
ensemble di elementi situati eterogenei che devono essere in grado di lavorare, adattarsi, e auto-organizzarsi in modo decentralizzato. Il contributo di questa tesi consiste in quattro parti principali. In primo luogo, viene definito e implementato un linguaggio di programmazione aggregata (ScaFi), interno al linguaggio Scala, per descrivere comportamenti collettivi e adattativi secondo l'approccio dei campi computazionali. In secondo luogo, si propone e caratterizza l'astrazione di processo aggregato per rappresentare computazioni collettive dinamiche concorrenti, formalizzata come estensione al field calculus e implementata in ScaFi. Inoltre, si analizza e implementa un prototipo di middleware per sistemi aggregati, in grado di supportare piĂč stili architetturali. Infine, si applicano e valutano tecniche di programmazione aggregata in scenari di edge computing, e si propone un pattern, Self-Organising Coordination Regions, per supportare, in modo decentralizzato, attivitĂ decisionali e di regolazione in ambienti dinamici

Information Management in Supply Chain Partnering: Improving Maintenance Processes in Dutch Housing Associations
From the article: "Abstract
Maintenance processes of Dutch housing associations are often still organized in a traditional manner. Contracts are based on lowest price instead of âbest quality for lowest priceâ considering usersâ demands. Dutch housing associations acknowledge the need to improve their maintenance processes in order to lower maintenance cost, but are not sure how. In this research, this problem is addressed by investigating different supply chain partnering principles and the role of information management. The main question is âHow can the organisation of maintenance processes of Dutch housing associations, in different supply chain partnering principles and the related information management, be improved?â The answer is sought through case study research.
