    Soil organic matter (SOM) conservation is essential for environmental services maintenance, especially in tropical agroecosytems where this component is essential for soil fertility, structure and biological activity. Soil microorganisms are the main driver of nutrient cycling, since key processes, such as C and N mineralization, N immobilization, xenobiotics decomposition, denitrification and others are mediated by them. However when the agroecosystems are manipulated, these active components of soils are impacted, changing the carbon and nutrient dynamics. Therefore, the monitoring of the microbial communities is a good tool to indicate changes in soil dynamics. Our objective was to characterize the soil microbial communities under different land uses by using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis

    AIOCJ: A Choreographic Framework for Safe Adaptive Distributed Applications

    Get PDF
    We present AIOCJ, a framework for programming distributed adaptive applications. Applications are programmed using AIOC, a choreographic language suited for expressing patterns of interaction from a global point of view. AIOC allows the programmer to specify which parts of the application can be adapted. Adaptation takes place at runtime by means of rules, which can change during the execution to tackle possibly unforeseen adaptation needs. AIOCJ relies on a solid theory that ensures applications to be deadlock-free by construction also after adaptation. We describe the architecture of AIOCJ, the design of the AIOC language, and an empirical validation of the framework.Comment: Technical Repor
