Policy-Based Architectural Adaptation Management: Robotics Domain Case Studies

Reinterpretation of Architectural Identity in a Tidal Waterfront City (Case Study:Transformation of the Riverbank Area in Banjarmasin’s Old City Center)

Banjarmasin is known as a tidal waterfront city and it is called City of a Thousand Rivers. The city level was approximately -16 cm below the sea level and almost a swamp-land. The urbanization and the city development programs have changed the city’s physical and spatial plan from a wetland to a mainland structure. The issues of the city's transformation have changed the city structure from th...

Formalising Adaptation Patterns for Autonomic Ensembles

Autonomic behaviour and self-adaptation in software can be supported by several architectural design patterns. In this paper we illustrate how some of the componentand ensemble-level adaptation patterns proposed in the literature can be rendered in SCEL, a formalism devised for modelling autonomic systems. Specifically, we present a compositional approach: first we show how a single generic com...

A Research Model for Architectural Meetings to Support the Implementation of New Building Technologies through Collaboration of Brainpower

Implementing new technologies in the domain of “Robotics and Automation in Construction” is necessary to enhance the values for clients and society. The technologies are available but implementing them is the coming challenge. Building technologies are not used exhaustively or intelligently. In the manufacturing industry of complex products collaboration of brainpower through involvement of all...

Adaptive Patterns for Intelligent Distributed Systems: A Swarm Robotics Case Study

Adaptation of intelligent distributed systems poses several challenges that deserve a different approach from the study of the adaptation of single components. There are some adaptive architectural patterns that can be applied to a system in order to let adaptive behaviours emerge. The research about these patterns is still in its early stage, but some evaluation is possible. To this purpose, i...
