Towards autonomic management of communications networks

IEEE Communications Magazine, 2007
As communications networks become increasingly dynamic, heterogeneous, less reliable, and larger in scale, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to effectively manage these networks using traditional approaches that rely on human monitoring and intervention to ensure they operate within desired bounds.

Towards a Protocol for Autonomic Covert Communication

2011
The complexity of covert communication management is the main barrier towards the massive application of covert communication. In this paper, a protocol for autonomic covert communication is proposed to deal with the management complexity of covert communication system, and the environmental changes in the course of covert communication.

Multiple communicating autonomous underwater vehicles

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004
This paper addresses the problems associated with missions using multiple cooperating autonomous underwater vehicles. In such missions, inter-vehicle communication is an important requirement upon which coordination strategy and intelligence decision making functions can be built.

Autonomic Cooperative Communications

2018
When perceived from the perspective of physical layer upwards, as it capitalizes on signal processing in both the spatial and temporal domains, the concept of link layer inherent distributed cooperative relaying based on virtual antenna arrays aims to improve the reliability of wireless communications through the exploitation of radio diversity ...

Catalonia as an Autonomous Community

2010
The post-communist transitions from authoritarian rule in post-Cold War East and Central Europe refocused attention on the sometimes problematic relationship among state, nation(s), and democratization, or what Linz and Stepan (1996: 16) have called “stateness.” This often conf lict-ridden triad has confounded attempts to establish stable democratic ...

Human-Machine Communications for Autonomous Systems

2014
This paper explores some of the difficult issues associated with the ability of deployed, operational Autonomous Remotely Piloted Airborne Systems (ARPAS) to make decisions and then act upon the decisions made, particularly with regard to the dialogue with the Human Operator or Supervisor.

Autonomic Emergency Communications

2012
Emergency networks formed by First Responders, or in fact by the communications equipment they carry, seem to form a very relevant area for the application of the concept of autonomic cooperative network deployments, as introduced in the previous chapter. This holds true especially because of the ad hoc and/or mesh nature of such network set-ups, where

Synchronisation of autonomous agents with minimum communication

52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2013
This paper considers the problem of synchronising linear discrete-time agents with a minimum number of communication events. The idea is based on the fact that the synchronous trajectory of all agents is parametrised by the agent model with the initial state as parameter vector.

Context Dissemination for Autonomic Communication Systems

2006
Autonomic Communication is a new communication paradigm that has been proposed as a way to design new self-organizing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-protecting and evolvable networks. The motivation comes from the problems created by the unstructured and haphazard growth of the Internet.

Autonomic cooperative communications for emergency networks

2012 4th Computer Science and Electronic Engineering Conference (CEEC), 2012
Emergency networks formed by First Responders are characterised by dynamic topology changes. It makes them a very relevant area of interest for the application of the concept of cooperative communications supported with the rationale behind the autonomic system design.
