We are pursuing a modeling methodology that views the world as a realm of things. A thing is defined as something that can be created, processed, released, transferred, and received. Additionally, in this modeling approach, a thing is a…
Over the last decades, the amount of data of all kinds available electronically has increased dramatically. Data are accessible through a range of interfaces including Web browsers, database query languages, application-specific interfaces,…
The theoretical foundations of a new model and paradigm (called TIE) for data storage and access are introduced. Associations between data elements are stored in a single Matrix table, which is usually kept entirely in RAM for quick access.…
This chapter serves as an introduction to systems engineering focused on the broad issues surrounding realizing complex integrated systems. What is a system? We pose a number of possible definitions and perspectives, but leave open the…
A new agent architecture called Limited Instruction Set Agent (LISA) is introduced for autonomous control. The new architecture is based on previous implementations of AgentSpeak and it is structurally simpler than its predecessors with the…
Task-based execution frameworks, such as parallel programming libraries, computational workflow systems, and function-as-a-service platforms, enable the composition of distinct tasks into a single, unified application designed to achieve a…
Forty years ago Dijkstra introduced the current conventional execution of routines. It places activation frames onto a stack. Each frame is the internal state of an executing routine. The resulting application execution is not easily helped…
The concept of autonomy is key to the IoT vision promising increasing integration of smart services and systems minimizing human intervention. This vision challenges our capability to build complex open trustworthy autonomous systems. We…
A critical challenge is to enable IoT application development with minimal effort from various stakeholders involved in the development process. Several approaches to tacking this challenge have been proposed in the fields of wireless…
This paper contains a brief discussion of an object evaluator which is based on principles of evaluations in a category. The main tool system referred as the Application Development Environment (ADE) is used to build database applications…
The sustainability of AI systems depends on the capacity of project teams to proceed with a continuous sensitivity to their potential real-world impacts and transformative effects. Stakeholder Impact Assessments (SIAs) are governance…
AI agents -- systems that combine foundation models with reasoning, planning, memory, and tool use -- are rapidly becoming a practical interface between natural-language intent and real-world computation. This survey synthesizes the…
The work presented in this paper is part of a proposed framework as complete and rigorous as possible for the design of complex systems. The methodological framework used is System Engineering, which is a methodological approach to control…
The present approach highlights the synergies between application integration and interaction protocols. Since both fields have advanced in different directions, a number of important technical problems can be addressed by their proper…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have been developed rapidly, and AI-based systems have been widely used in various application domains with opportunities and challenges. However, little is known about the architecture decisions…
Context: As the adoption of continuous delivery practices increases in software organizations, different scenarios struggle to make it scales for their products in long-term evolution. This study looks at the concrete software architecture…
Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) is emerging as a sub-field of AI to support the automation of long-tail processes which requires the coordination of tasks across different systems. So far, the field of IPA has been largely driven by…
At present organizations try to achieve competitive advantages using information technology (IT). Organizations not only use Information technology to manage their internal operations but also to collaborate with their customers and…
Decentralized applications (dApps) consist of smart contracts that run on blockchains and clients that model collaborating parties. dApps are used to model financial and legal business functionality. Today, contracts and clients are written…
The complexity of IoT, owing to the inherent distributed and dynamic nature of such systems, brings more challenges to the software development process. A vast number of devices with different communication protocols and data formats is…
