An LSTM-Based Neural Network Architecture for Model Transformations

Paper written in 2019 by Loli Burgueño, Jordi Cabot, and Sébastien Gérard

Forewords by Matthew:

It’s in a way the opposite of what I’m doing with AI and MT; it’s about using ML and NN to perform a transformation, as opposed to my thesis where CSP is added to a transformation language, which I find can be an interesting contrast.

SeMaFoR & Concerto-D for decentralized reconfiguration of Fog systems

Abstract: The new Fog paradigm extends the Cloud to be closer to the thing that produce and act on IoT data. However, managing Fog infrastructure is challenging because of the scalability and reliability of these heterogeneous and dynamic systems. The SeMaFoR project aims at model Fog resources, and orchestrate a fleet of autonomous controllers, each having a local view of its resources, to ease the management of Fog systems.
