Decentralised systems made of autonomous devices and software are gaining more and more interest. These autonomous el ements usually do not know each other in advance and act without any central control. They thus form a society of devices and software, and as such need: basic interaction mechanisms for understanding each other and a social infrastructure supporting interactions…
