Autonomic Pervasive Computing: A Smart Mall Scenario Using Promise Theory (2008)
Abstract. We present a simplified example of a pervasive computing scenario using promises to model the interaction policies between the agents. We examine how the autonomic nodes stabilize into a...

Kyrre Begnum, Mark Burgess, Tore M. Jonassen, Siri Fagernes
Abstract — We consider some implications of non-linear feedback, due to policy combinatorics, on policy-based management of networked services. We pay special attention to the case where the...
Pervasive computing management: A model of network policy with local autonomy (2006)
We present a model for policy based management, stressing the role of decisive autonomy in generalized networks. The organization and consistency of agent cooperation is discussed within a...
