Autonomous control for a reliable internet of services methods, models, approaches, techniques, algorithms, and tools

This book was prepared to play the role of a publication and dissemination platform of the technical aspects of the Final Report of the COST Action IC1304 “Autonomous Control for a Reliable Internet of Services (ACROSS)” that has run for four years, from Fall 2013 until Fall 2017. COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is an EU funding agency for research and innovation networks that enables researchers to set up their interdisciplinary networks in Europe and beyond. In particular, the main goal of the COST Action ACROSS was to create a European network of experts, aiming at the development of monitoring and autonomous control methods for a reliable and quality-aware future Internet of Services (IoS). As usual for COST Actions, the collaboration within ACROSS proceeded on the basis of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) setting out its main objectives and technical scope.
