Workshop 14 June 201 – Minute

Day 1

15-17.30: Mirko presented his talk, which generates a lot of discussion on open issues already, on the following issues:

  • Rates, their dynamics, and risks of divergence
  • Encoding service interfaces into LSAs
  • Bonding with remote LSAs
  • Can use an hybrid model of P2P vs ClientService management of LSA-spaces
  • Trade-off between eco-laws and agents
  • Application-dependency of eco-laws

17.30-18.30: Graeme presented his talk:

  • Clarification on the role of the SPARQL translation

Day 2

10-11.30: Giovanna presents work on using eco-laws for self-* algorithms

  • Discussion about topology: reifying more involved topologies on top of the infrastructure (LSAs and eco-laws)
  • Is topology a service
  • Universality of self-organisation rules
  • Some eco-laws are general, suggested by WP2 and WP3, above them we will also need composition of behaviour by application-specific eco-laws

11.50-13 : Franco 

  • Smartphones (all devices) need to have an LSA-space inside, where sensors have an LSA
  • Peer-to-peer can be done by making the semantics of here be application-dependent
  • Are there many topologies? Some is created by infrastructure
  • Franco explains a prototype Facebook SAPERE application, which we use to generalise topology issues
  • Mirko proposes seen network capabilities as provided by components, that is, by LSAs and eco-laws

14-15 : Discussing WP5 case studies against the model

  • Do we need some more general case studies?

15-17.30 : Open issues with WP1:

  • Graeme shows old eco-laws for the FOCLASA examples
  • Syntax was discussed a bit
  • Discussed the need of rates in eco-laws
  • Discussed pros and cons of markovian model of rates
  • Sara presents SERENE
  • Danilo presents Alchemist
  • Giovanna presented their simulator, and we discussed comparison's with Danilo
