Front Cover: In articule number 2000394 by Andreas Lendlein and co-workers, a multifunctional material based on rhodium-phosphine coordination polymer network is capable of stimuli-responsive fluorescence, reshapeability, selfhealing, allows modular fabrication.

Systems designed to be self-healing are able to heal themselves at runtime in response to changing environmental or operational circumstances. Thus, the goal is to avoid catastrophic failure through prompt execution of remedial actions. This paper proposes a self-healing mechanism that monitors, diagnoses and heals its own internal problems using self-awareness as contextual information. The se...

This paper explains how autonomy features targeting selfhealing and self-optimization can be implemented and composed into Rebeca, a publish/subscribe middleware which has been designed for distributed event-driven applications.

Self-healing materials with dual interpenetrating microvascular networks enable two-part healing chemistries and repeated healing of damage in a localized region. [ 1 ] However, due to slow healing kinetics, multiple days are required between damage events to recover mechanical performance under ambient conditions. By directly writing a third interdigitated microvascular network within these ep...

Self-healing involves maintainance of basic properties of the network, such as connectivity, in face of an attack. Selfhealing can occur on Reconfigurable Networks. Reconfigurable Networks are networks in which we can add new connections between nodes. Examples of such networks are peerto-peer networks, cellular networks and ad-hoc networks . There has been significant past work on self-healing...

Events of recent years have brought to light the difficulties involved in responding to major emergencies, particularly with respect to the on-site coordination of the many responding agencies. This paper presents an overview of the work being conducted by a team within National ICT Australia (NICTA) on rapidly deployable, resilient and adaptive networks and applications for emergency response....

In order to respond to these challenges, many U.S. utilities have been investing in smart grid technologies for communications, monitoring, computation and control purposes. Among its capabilities, the smart grid enables better outage management, grid selfhealing, demand response, dynamic pricing, preventive maintenance of grid assets, integration of distributed generation resources, and two-wa...

This paper presents some selected use cases for self-organisation in wireless networks, namely on selfoptimisation (Home eNodeB and Load Balancing) and selfhealing (Cell Outage Management). Furthermore an approach to identify interrelationships between these use cases is presented and an example for parameter correlation is given. The paper thereby provides results that have been achieved withi...
