Aim of the course
The course is aimed at illustrating the main computational paradigms, models, technologies and methods for the engineering of autonomous systems. In particular, the courses focuses on the following themes, by experimenting with the corresponding case studies:- the notion of autonomy in software systems and in artificial systems in general
- case: Autonomic Computing
- intelligence & autonomy: intelligent agents
- case: Web Intelligence, individual & social intelligence in MAS
- adaptivity & self-organisation
- cases: Pervasive Systems, Swarm Intelligence, Stigmergy Coordination, stochastic systems
