| − | '''H2SWARM: Hierarchical Heterogeneous Swarm.''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | The main goal of the project is the study of hierarchical communication and control strategies for swarms of |
||
| − | heterogeneous robots, which, despite the differences among sub-groups, coherently operate in an integrated |
||
| − | manner to achieve a common goal. This will be achieved by looking at how Nature structures and organises large |
||
| − | groups, such as ant colonies or honeybee swarms. Natural systems are characterised by different types of |
||
| − | hierarchical organisation (physical, spatial, functional, informational) which evolved to be tightly integrated |
||
| − | and to ensure the survival of the system as a single unit. The H2SWARM project aims at studying the evolution of |
||
| − | cooperative behaviours in hierarchical heterogeneous organisations, and the mechanisms that support hierarchical |
||
| − | organisations in social insects. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Self-aware, self-adaptive and self-expressive autonomic components, running within environments which are called |
||
| − | “ensemblesâ€, have been proposed to handle open-ended, highly parallel, massively distributed systems that can span |
||
| − | millions of nodes with complex interactions and behaviours. However, these complex systems are currently difficult |
||
| − | to develop, deploy, and manage. The goal of the ASCENS project is to build ensembles in a way that combines the |
||
| − | maturity and wide applicability of traditional software engineering approaches with the assurance about functional |
||
| − | and non-functional properties provided by formal methods and the flexibility, low management overhead, and optimal |
||
| − | utilization of resources promised by autonomic, adaptive, self-aware systems. |
