Nature-inspired Coordination for Complex Distributed Systems

Andrea Omicini
Originating from closed parallel systems, coordination models and technologies gained in expressive power so to deal with complex distributed systems. In particular, nature-inspired models of coordination emerged in the last decade as the most effective approaches to tackle the complexity of pervasive, intelligent, and self-* systems. In this paper we survey the most relevant nature-inspired coordination models, discuss the main open issues, and explore the trends for their future development.
Keywords: Nature-inspired coordination, Self-organising coordination
