Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

of locations are more important than hierarchies of places. Labour is fundamentally divided in two categories: self-programmable labour, and generic labour. Self-programmable labour is equipped with the ability to retrain itself, and adapt to new tasks, new processes and new sources of information
Adaptive Resource Management for Balancing Availability and Performance in Cloud Computing
"... availability and performance are critical to meet service level agreements in most Cloud computing services. In this paper, we build on the virtual machine technology that allows software components to be cheaply moved, replicated, and allocated on the hardware infrastructure to devise a solution th ..."

that ensures users availability and performance requirements in Cloud environments. To deal with failures and vulnerabilities also due to cyber-attacks, we formulate the availability and performance attributes in the users perspective and show that the two attributes may often be competing for a given
A Grouping Principle and Four Applications
- IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
, 2003
"... Abstract-Wertheimer's theory suggests a general perception law according to which objects having a quality in common get perceptually grouped. The Helmholtz principle is a quantitative version of this general grouping law. It states that a grouping is perceptually "meaningful" if its ..."

In CONCLUSION We have shown that the automatic detection of gestalts, which we previously formalized in two applications, can be extended to several other cases. The derivation of quantitative thresholds is systematic and obeys a similar formalism in several very different cases. However, a specific discussion
Effective runtime monitoring of distributed
"... devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) and other data sources are increasingly bridging the gap between the physical and digital world by providing fine-grained data about real-world events. Enterprise software systems are adopting the paradigm of event-based systems (EBS) to enable them to react t ..."

the required type of information while trading off precision for costs. We previously introduced application-specific integrated aggregation (ASIA) as a means for collecting metadata in distributed event-based systems. In this paper, we show how ASIA can support IT Service Management in monitoring
1Two-way Networks: when Adaptation is Useless
"... Most wireless communication networks are two-way, where nodes act as both sources and destinations of messages. This allows for “adaptation ” at or “interaction ” between the nodes – a node’s channel inputs may be functions of its message(s) and previously received signals, in contrast to feedback-f ..."

-free one-way channels where inputs are functions of messages only. How to best adapt, or cooperate, is key to two-way communication, rendering it complex and challenging. However, examples exist of channels where adaptation is not beneficial from a capacity perspective; it is known that for the point
Research Article Automatic Vasculature Identification in Coronary Angiograms by Adaptive Geometrical Tracking
, 2013
"... which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. As the uneven distribution of contrast agents and the perspective projection principle of X-ray, the vasculatures in angiographic image are with low contrast and are generally ..."

Chapter 12 Rough Sets and Rough Logic: A KDD Perspective
"... Abstract Basic ideas of rough set theory were proposed by Zdzis law Pawlak [85, 86] in the early 1980’s. In the ensuing years, we have witnessed a systematic, world–wide growth of interest in rough sets and their applications. The main goal of rough set analysis is induction of approximations of con ..."

1 MOSES: a Framework for QoS Driven Runtime Adaptation of Service-oriented Systems
"... Abstract—Architecting software systems according to the serviceoriented paradigm, and designing runtime self-adaptable systems are two relevant research areas in today’s software engineering. In this paper we address issues that lie at the intersection of these two important fields. First, we presen ..."
