More and more, software systems involve autonomous and distributed
software components that have to execute and interact in open and
dynamic environments, such as in pervasive, autonomous, and mobile
applications. The requirements with respect to dynamics, openness,
scalability, and decentralization call for new approaches to
software design and development, capable of supporting spontaneous
configuration, tolerating partial failures, or arranging adaptive
reorganization of the whole system.
Inspired by the behaviour of complex natural systems, scientists
and engineers have started to adjust their mechanisms and
techniques for self-organization and adaption to changing
environments.
In line with these considerations, Mamei and Zambonelli propose
an interaction model inspired by the way masses and particles in
our universe move and self-organize according to contextual
information represented by gravitational and electromagnetic
fields. The key idea is to have the componentsa (TM) actions driven
by computational force fields, generated by the components
themselves or by some infrastructures, and propagated across the
environment. Together with its supporting middleware infrastructure
a" available with additional information under http:
//www.agentgroup.unimore.it a" this model can serve as the basis
for a general purpose and widely applicable approach for the design
and development of adaptive distributed applications.
