Abstract

Today’s software systems are becoming increasingly distributed and decentralized and have to adapt autonomously to dynamically changing, open-ended environments. Often their nodes partake in complex interactions with other nodes or with humans. We call these kinds of distributed, complex systems operating in openended and changing environments, ensembles.
