“…Early works consider simple data fusion as aggregation of logically related context data based on simple name transformation (Dey et al, 2001), possibly by adopting a common context specification language (Hong & Landay, 2001). Also, more recent works exploit a similar approach, in which contextual data are represented at a high level with a common structure in order to promote the same management for data coming from diverse sources and to ease the data usage and reasoning (Bortenschlager et al, 2009).…”

Pervasive systems are intended to make use of services and components that they encounter in their environment. Such systems are naturally spatial in that they can only be understood in terms of the ways in which components meet and interact in space. Rather than treating spatiality separately from system components, researchers are starting to develop computational models in which the entire structure of a pervasive system is modelled and constructed using an explicit spatial model, supporting multi-level spatial reasoning, and adapting autonomously to spatial interactions. In this paper we review current and emerging models of spatial computing for pervasive ecosystems, and highlight some of the trends that will guide future research.

“…However, in MCL it seems difficult to focus on the coordination when a very complex and dynamic system is considered. UbiCoMo [7] proposes a coordination model that mainly focuses on accessing data in ubiquitous environments. However, this limits too much UbiCoMo expressiveness to fit into this specific paradigm.…”

“…To support mobile environment, one of the main improvement is the use of several tuple-spaces instead of a single one shared by all the processes. Then, from mobile computing, researchers have focused on making applications context aware by the use of tuple-spaces [5,7,15]. To go a step further with the mobility, toward autonomous systems, researchers considered more intelligent tuples [21,30].…”

Abstract. This paper presents LINC, a coordination programming environment. It is an evolution of earlier middlewares (the Coordination Language Facility (CLF) and Stitch). The aim is to provide a more flexible and expressive language correcting several of their limitations and an improved run-time environment. LINC provides a compact yet powerful coordination language and an optimised run-time which executes rules. This paper describes the intrinsic properties brought by the LINC environment and how it helps the coordination aspects in a distributed system. This paper also emphasises on the reflexivity of LINC and its usage at system level. Finally, it illustrates through several case studies, how LINC can manage a wide range of application domains.

Agent Environments for Multi-agent Systems – A Research Roadmap

Abstract. Ten years ago, researchers in multi-agent systems became more and more aware that agent systems consist of more than only agents. The series of workshops on Environments for Multi-Agent Systems (E4MAS 2004(E4MAS -2006 emerged from this awareness. One of the primary outcomes of this endeavor was a principled understanding that the agent environment should be considered as a primary design abstraction, equally important as the agents. A special issue in JAAMAS 2007 contributed a set of influential papers that define the role of agent environments, describe their engineering, and outline challenges in the field that have been the drivers for numerous follow up research efforts. The goal of this paper is to wrap up what has been achieved in the past 10 years and identify challenges for future research on agent environments. Instead of taking a broad perspective, we focus on three particularly relevant topics of modern software intensive systems: large scale, openness, and humans in the loop. For each topic, we reflect on the challenges outlined 10 years ago, present an example application that highlights the current trends, and from that outline challenges for the future. We conclude with a roadmap on how the different challenges could be tackled.
