Building an IoT-aware healthcare monitoring system
for developed countries. The use of healthcare remote technology may allow reducing most
of the management of the chronic diseases meanwhile it may also contribute to the
improvement of elderly people's quality of life. Unfortunately, despite the advent of Internet of
things and the even decreasing price of sensors, current proposals are not extensible during
runtime meaning that they need to be maintained offline by engineers. Therefore, in this ...

VirtualMarket: extending ChileCompra with agent capabilities for identifying providers associativity opportunities and negotiate alliance participation
Chilean companies offer and demand goods and services of all kinds. The main aim of this
platform is to make more efficient and transparent the contracting processes. Nowadays,
tenders asking more than one good and/or service are answered separately. Thus, after
receiving the offers from the sellers, the buyer must select for each part of the tender the best
offer. Unfortunately, this is an inefficient and non optimal process. On the one hand ...
Decentralized strategy for supporting multi-agent negotiation of several aspects of different products
responsibility of buying or selling a product or service to software agents. In this sense,
decentralized negotiation strategies in multi-agent systems are the key to allow that agents
to reach agreements. However, in environments where there is not any mediator, to reach
consensus is not warranted. In this work, we propose a decentralized strategy of negotiation
in order to two or more agents may negotiate as a group at the same time several ...

Time‐Based Hesitant Fuzzy Information Aggregation Approach for Decision‐Making Problems
situations in which decision makers exhibit variations in their alternatives' assessment
values. However, in real-world problems, the decision-making process has to be
accomplished under situations where these assessment values may also drastically change
over time. In this paper, we propose a prioritized aggregation operator to combine a time
sequence of hesitant fuzzy information, where the time-based hesitancy due to changing ...

A market-based approach to the dynamic reconfiguration problem of service-based systems
composed of Web services, which are discovered and bound (most of the time) during
runtime to handle the dynamic nature of Web service offerings. As far as vie know, all
reconfiguration approaches assign to SBSs' owners the responsibility to identify, select and
compose services that satisfy their reconfiguration needs. In practice, SBSs are not
omniscient regarding potential service providers' partners or offer trade-offs; thus, in most ...
Managing [email protected] run. time with a linguistic decision making approach
specification models hold the correctness criteria then, they can be used instead of
requirements to make decisions (eg select an architectural configuration to implement
requirements). Unfortunately, during runtime for systems under changing environments,
domain assumptions may change and if they are not properly maintained (synchronized) the
correctness criteria may becomes not useful to detect when the specification model is not ...

Addressing the QoS drift in specification models of self-adaptive service-based systems
functional requirements and assumptions drawn from the current environment studied at
design time. As most real world applications exist in dynamic environments, recently there
has been research efforts towards the design of software systems that use their specification
models during runtime. The main idea is that software systems should endeavor to keep
their requirements satisfied by adapting their architectural configurations when ...
Mitigating the obsolescence of specification models of service-based systems
configurations during runtime in order to keep satisfied their specification models. These
models are the result of design time derivation of requirements into precise and verifiable
specifications by using the knowledge about the current service offerings. Unfortunately, the
design time knowledge may be no longer valid during runtime. Then, non-functional
constraints may have different numerical meanings at different time even for the same ...

Mitigating the obsolescence of quality specifications models in service-based systems
runtime to support adaptation decisions, by representing quality of services (QoS)
requirements for service-based systems (SBS) with precise values in run-time queryable
model specification. However, current approaches do not support updating of the
specification to reflect changes in the service market, like newly available services or
improved QoS of existing ones. Thus, even if the specification models reflect design-time ...

entities to permit evaluation satisfaction; however, NFR specifications quickly become
obsolete because (1) NFRs are expressed in numbers,(2) architects specify them using the
correct values at design time, and/or (3) providers are constantly improving their offer, in
terms of functionality and quality of service (QoS). The computingwith-words approach has
already been proposed to replace numerical NFR specifications, where natural language ...

Web Service Compositions Which Emerge from Virtual Organizations with Fair Agreements
Recommending APIs for mashup completion using association rules mined from real usage data
applications, by combining several Web APIs into a single lightweight, rich, customized Web
front-end. To help mashup builders to choose among a plethora of available APIs to
assemble in their mashups, some existing recommendation techniques rank candidate APIs
using popularity (a social measure) or keyword-based measures (whether semantic or
unverified tags). This article proposes to use information on co-usage of APIs in previous ...

From virtual organizations to self-organizing web service compositions
task of finding a proper Web service composition in order to satisfy a set of requirements has
become quite challenging. This problem has been typically addressed from the consumer's
point of view, assigning the responsibility of discovering the needed services and modeling
them as passive entities that wait to be discovered, selected and composed with others. We
tackle the service composition problem to satisfy requirements completely from the ...

Improving the Component Discovery process by leveraging automatic sensitive analysis
complex software systems. Successful reuse of existing components requires being able to
first identify, and then distinguish among, functionally (near-) equivalent elements of large
component collections. Similar components can be ranked using quality criteria, thus, some
goal-oriented techniques attempt to quantify components quality by indicating valid ranges
for their properties and behavior, like stability, latency and so on. Unfortunately, most ...
Simplifying mashup component selection with a combined similarity-and social-based technique
approaches to enable component selection include description-based techniques and
socially generated metadata. The explosive growth of APIs makes increasingly harder
selecting appropriate components for each mashup. Unfortunately, description-based
techniques rely heavily on the quality of authors' information, and social-based approaches
suffer problems like" cold-start" and" preferential attachment". This article proposes (1) two ...

Externalizing the autopoietic part of software to achieve self-adaptability
Software systems must look to their own survival besides their successful mission
completion. To the best of our knowledge, there are no explicit computational models to
operationalize and test this distinction. This article describes a framework to add autopietic
capabilities to composite Software systems, by using an external self-organized market full
of service providers willing to provide services for satisfying new requirements and ...
Improving web api discovery by leveraging social information
their needs. This primary task becomes harder, tedious and time-consuming with the
proliferation of new APIs. As humans, we learn by example, following community previous
decisions when creating mashups. Most techniques do not consider at all reusing this social
information. In this paper, we propose to combine current discovery techniques (exploration)
with social information (exploitation). Our preliminary results show that by considering the ...

Self-adaptive fuzzy QoS-driven web service discovery
functional equivalent service providers have become a real challenge, where the quality of
the services plays a crucial role. But quality is uncertain, therefore, several researchers have
applied Fuzzy logic to address the imprecision of the quality of service (QoS) constraints.
Furthermore, the service market is highly dynamic and competitive, where web services are
constantly entering and exiting this market, and they are continually improving themselves ...
From early architectural decisions to self-discovery components
knowing how well a component performs some required tasks, they also need to understand
how these tasks are performed, ie they are concerned with the design. This is an expensive
and hard task since architects must evaluate and compare large set of available alternative
components using ad-hoc information. This article proposes an automated technique that
supports architects in generating component assemblies given a set of architectural ...

software systems. However, component discovery and component composition are quite
complex and expensive tasks, due to the ever growing number of components in the market.
This article proposes to model component providers and consumers as a multi-agent
system, allowing providers to advertise their offerings and consumers to express their
requirements within a shared quality model. The main contributions of this paper is to ...
