“…Consequently, intelligent, coordinated responses to city-scale problems emerge from a closed feedback loop involving collective sensing activities, understanding and sharing of ideas, and collaborative actions. In the SAPERE approach [45] pervasive service environments are modeled and architected as a non-layered spatial substrate, laid above the actual pervasive network infrastructure, on top of which human users act as prosumers continuously producing and consuming data.

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.

“…The model we are dealing with is an abstraction of the active tuple space model SAPERE [9], [10] inspired by chemical reactions; here the system is composed of four entities: tuples, chemical reactions, agents and services/applications (Figure 1). Tuples: A tupleT is a vector of elementsP i = ("N i ", V i ) called properties, thus:…”

Abstract-Service-oriented programming has dramatically changed the way software applications are developed. Automatic composition of services reduces human interaction on choosing the set of services that satisfy a specific request. Automatic composition has mainly been done in a centralised way with the composition specified at design time or in a decentralised manner through multi-agent systems planing. These approaches present several limitations when used in dynamically changing environments like pervasive computing scenarios. Very few proposals investigate the design of the composition arising as a result of an ongoing self-organising process that permanently adapts to context and environmental changes. In this paper we define three chemically inspired approaches for self-composition of services operating on top of a shared tuple space. We show how tuple spaces can be exploited to design spontaneous and emergent compositions that deal with context information and a dynamic set of available services. Then we prove that our algorithms can be generalised to produce compositions of services with very common features. and show how our algorithms can be easily implemented to provide self-composition of actual Web services.

“…The SAPERE project [63] tackles both self-management and self-organisation for ecosystems of services, exploiting the chemical reaction metaphors to accommodate both self-management and self-organisation in a unified framework. Actual implementation involves a middleware deployed on intelligent screens and tablets communicating with each other, and supporting self-management and self-composition of context-aware services.…”

This article reviews the existing work in selfhealing and self-repairing technologies, including work in software engineering, materials, mechanics, electronics, MEMS, self-reconfigurable robotics, and others. It suggests a terminology and taxonomy for self-healing and selfrepair, and discusses the various related types of other self-* properties. The mechanisms and methods leading to selfhealing are reviewed, and common elements across disciplines are identified.
