Self-Organizing Software Models for the Internet of Things: Complex Software Structures That Emerge Without a Central Controller
Damian Arellanes · IEEE Systems Man and Cybernetics Magazine · 2021
The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions the integration of physical objects into software systems for automating crucial aspects of our lives, such as health care, security, agriculture, and city management. Although the vision is promising, with the rapid advancement of hardware and communication technologies, IoT systems are becoming increasingly dynamic, large, and complex to the extent that manual management becomes infeasible. Thus, it is of paramount importance to provide software engineering foundations for constructing autonomic IoT systems.
