MAPE-K with Control Data

Our conceptual framework for adaptation will be presented at the 15th International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering (FASE 2012). As the abstract says:

In this position paper we present a conceptual vision of adaptation, a key feature of autonomic systems. We put some stress on the role of control data and argue how some of the programming paradigms and models used for adaptive systems match with our conceptual framework.

Some thoughts about behavioural adaptation presented at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Leicester. Essentially the same talk I held at the last meeting of the ASCENS project.

UPDATE: We synthesized our ideas in a paper that will be presented at the 15th International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering (FASE 2012).

My talk about at FACS’11 on evaluating the performance of model transformation styles with Maude.

The website of SysMA, our research unit on System Analysis and Modelling at IMT Lucca is up and running.

Some thougths about adaptation presented a meeting of the ASCENS project on autonomic component ensembles.

Graphite 2012

The organizers of GRAPHite have kindly invited me to join the program committee. It will be the first edition of this event which is centered around the issue of graph search in all its forms (state space exploration, model checking, planning, game playing, etc.).

The workshop’s roots can be traced back at the Dagstuhl Seminar on Graph Search Engineering, that gathered together graph searchers from different communities including social network analysis, video game development, formal verification, algorithmics and artificial inteligence.

The workshop will be part of ETAPS 2012 and will be held in Tallin (Estonia) from March 31 to April 1, 2012.

I think that this is a good opportunity for graph search researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas in a wonderful city.

The few things I know about the web collected in a book:

The book is mainly (but not exclusively) thought for teaching web-and-all-that to non-scientists. It has been written from the point of view of a computer scientists that wants people to understand that “computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes (Edgser W. Dijkstra)”, as Prof. Gianluigi Ferrari brillantly remarks in the preface. In simpler words, our conviction is that understanding the scientific fundamentals of the web is crucial for mastering its technology, which includes every-day tools like the email, search engines, blogs and social networks.

The book contains chapters about the Internet, the Web, XML, HTML, usability and accesibility, search engines and information retrieval, Web 2.0, wikis and other collaborative tools, blogs and other self-publishing tools , social networks and the semantic web.

My brief talk about some features of Maude that might be interesting for the ASCENS project on autonomic component ensembles.

My short talk at IMT Welcome Day 2011 about my research and teaching activities.

I am happy to be involved in this interesting conference : the 4th Interaction and Concurrency Experience to be held on June 9, 2011 in Reykjavik, Iceland (colocated with DisCoTec 2011).

Submission deadline is March 28.
