The research focus is on determining what tasks can be performed by the entities, under what conditions, and at what cost. In particular, the central question is to determine what minimal hypotheses allow a given problem to be solved. This book is based on the lectures and tutorial presented at the research meeting on ?Moving and Computing" (mac) held at La Maddalena Island in June 2017. Greatly expanded, revised and updated, each of the lectures forms an individual Chapter. Together, they provide a map of the current knowledge about the boundaries of distributed computing by mobile entities. 410 0$aTheoretical Computer Science and General Issues,$x2512-2029 ;$v11340 606 $aComputer input-output equipment 606 $aComputers, Special purpose 606 $aComputer systems 606 $aComputer networks 606 $aRobotics 606 $aOperating systems (Computers) 606 $aInput/Output and Data Communications 606 $aSpecial Purpose and Application-Based Systems 606 $aComputer System Implementation 606 $aComputer Communication Networks 606 $aRobotics 606 $aOperating Systems 615 0$aComputer input-output equipment. 615 0$aComputers, Special purpose. 615 0$aComputer systems. 615 0$aComputer networks. 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aOperating systems (Computers). 615 14$aInput/Output and Data Communications. 615 24$aSpecial Purpose and Application-Based Systems. 615 24$aComputer System Implementation. 615 24$aComputer Communication Networks. 615 24$aRobotics. 615 24$aOperating Systems. 676 $a004.6 702 $aFlocchini$b Paola$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPrencipe$b Giuseppe$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSantoro$b N$g(Nicola),$f1951-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466462203316 996 $aDistributed Computing by Mobile Entities$92518650 997 $aUNISA
