Engineering Self-Organising Systems
As information handling systems get more and more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage them using traditional approaches based on centralized and pre-defined control mechanisms. Over recent years, there has been a significant increase in taking inspiration from biology, the physical world, chemistry, and social systems to more efficiently manage such systems - generally based on the concept of self-organisation; this gave rise to self-organising applications. This book constitutes a reference and starting point for establishing the field of engineering self-organising applications. It comprises revised and extended papers presented at the Engineering Self-Organising Applications Workshop, ESOA 2003, held at AAMAS 2003 in Melbourne, Australia, in July 2003 and selected invited papers from leading researchers in self-organisation. The book is organized in parts on applications, natural metaphors (multi-cells and genetic algorithms, stigmergy, and atoms and evolution), artificial interaction mechanisms, middleware, and methods and tools.
The Magic Carpet
Outer London, September 2016, and neighbouring eight-year-olds have homework: prepare a traditional story to perform with their families at a school festival. But Nathan's father thinks his son would be better off doing sums; Sky's mother's enthusiasm is as fleeting as her bank balance, and there's a threatening shadow hanging over poor Alka's family. Only Mandeep's fragile grandmother and new girl Xoriyo really understand the magical powers of storytelling. As national events and individual challenges jostle for the adults' attention, can these two bring everyone together to ensure the show will go on?
Age of Aquarius (PG edition)
1967. It was the Summer of Love. But in the midst of peace and flower power, a group of hippies unleash an unspeakable horror that will threaten the future of the planet . . . The King Quartet. The Serendipity Series. Recipe for Death Books. Every battle. Every win. Every loss. All the intrige, pain and mystery . . . it all leads here. In the ultimate fight against an ancient and powerful evil, Carruthers agents join with old friends as well as new allies to save the world. Tasmyn and Michael, Nell and Rafe, Jackie and Lucas--and of course, Cathryn Whitmore--all of them will risk their lives and futures to stop the dreaded Hive. Some will live. Some will die. None of them will ever be the same. Redeem yesterday. Survive today. Save tomorrow.
Enterprise and Organizational Modeling and Simulation
This book constitutes the post conference proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Enterprise and Organizational Modeling and Simulation, EOMAS 2011, held in conjunction with CAiSE 2011 in London, UK, in June 2011. Enterprises are purposefully designed systems used to fulfill certain functions. An extended enterprise and organizational study involves both analysis and design activities, in which modeling and simulation play prominent roles. The related techniques and methods are effective, efficient, economic, and widely used in enterprise engineering, organizational study, and business process management. The 14 contributions in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions, and they explore these topics, address the underlying challenges, find and improve on solutions, and demonstrate the application of modeling and simulation in the domains of enterprises, their organizations and underlying business processes.

Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems for Manufacturing
The increasing complexity of manufacturing systems as well as the overall demands for flexible and fault-tolerant control of production processes stimulates (among many others) two key emerging technologies that are already making an important breakthrough in the field of intelligent manufacturing, control, and diagnostics. These two paradigms are: • the holonic approach based on the event-driven control strategy, usually aimed at modular control systems that are directly physically linked with the manufacturing hardware equipment, and • the multi-agent approach developed in the area of distributed information processing. The research communities working in both these fields are approaching the problem of intelligent manufacturing from different viewpoints and, until recently, to a certain extent, in an independent way. We can however observe quite a clear convergence of these fields in the last few years: the communities have started to cooperate, joining efforts to solve the painful problems involved in achieving effective industrial practice. We can see convergence in the terminology, standards and methods being applied.
