Developing Local Energy Markets A Holistic System Approach

Model-based engineering of runtime reconfigurable networked embedded systems

Today’s societal challenges, such as sustainable urban living and public safety and security require monitoring and control solutions for large-scale complex and dynamical systems. The distinguishing features of these systems are serious resource constraints, demanding non-functional requirements such as robustness, timeliness, lifetime and the...

Designing reconfigurable systems: Methodology and guidelines

One of the major challenges when designing software for complex systems relates to a lack of a specific and comprehensive set of rules and methodologies. Even more so, adaptation to field conditions is difficult to model and implement on systems composed of a larger number of devices/components, such as distributed systems or systems of systems....

An illustrative application example: Cargo state monitoring

The previous chapters in this book provide the foundations and a brief description of the DEMANES tool chain. This chapter describes a real self-adaptive system developed using the DEMANES tool chain. This chapter focuses on the design and implementation stages of a real use case development. The use case under study is a subsystem, called Cargo...

Anomalous human behavior detection: An Adaptive approach

Detection of anomalies (outliers or abnormal instances) is an important element in a range of applications such as fault, fraud, suspicious behavior detection and knowledge discovery. In this article we propose a new method for anomaly detection and performed tested its ability to detect anomalous behavior in videos from DARPA's Mind's Eye...
