17th Workshop "From Objects to Agents"
Catania, July, 29-30, 2016
The topic for WOA 2016 is "Internet of Mobile Things".
The paradigm of Internet of Mobile Things (IoMT) embraces a wide number
of real-life scenarios in which smart things can move autonomously, although
they remain accessible and controllable remotely.
Mobile Smart Objects are equipped with sensors and actuators, and can be terrestrial
and aerial drones. They are, in principle, accessible and controllable
for the entire mission. Furthermore, thanks to their autonomy, they will
send messages with their peers in order to start collaborative tasks,
they can change their behavior based on the data coming from sensors and
its peers.
Mobile Things are employed for a number of critical mission as human rescue,
monitoring of high risks areas, and for a various of tasks for which
involving humans may pose a risks or may be almost impossible.
As a consequence, in designing software control systems for smart mobile
objects, basic principles of robustness and efficiency must be taken into account
first. These aspects will have great impact on the design of algorithms and
heuristics which represent the behavioral part of the devices.
