Background: Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPSS) denote a service-oriented way of
providing access to cyber-physical systems'(CPS) capabilities. The design of such systems …

Today's digital world and evolving technology has improved the quality of our lives but it has
also come with a number of new threats. In the society of smart-cities and Industry 4.0, where …

Self-adaptive software systems monitor their operation and adapt when their requirements
fail due to unexpected phenomena in their environment. This paper examines the case …

Web-facing applications are expected to provide certain performance guarantees despite
dynamic and continuous workload changes. As a result, application owners are using cloud …

Cloud and High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are increasingly facing issues of
dynamic variability, in particular wrt performance and power consumption. They are …

Software systems are deployed in environments that keep changing over time. They should
therefore adapt to changing conditions to meet their requirements. The satisfaction rate of …

Requirements engineering (RE) aims to ensure that systems meet the needs of their
stakeholders including users, sponsors, and customers. Often considered as one of the …

Discrete event controllers are at the heart of many software systems that require continuous
operation. Changing these controllers at runtime to cope with changes in its execution …

Control theoretical techniques have been successfully adopted as methods for self-adaptive
systems design to provide formal guarantees about the effectiveness and robustness of …

Software applications accessible over the web are typically subject to very dynamic
workloads. Since cloud elasticity provides the ability to adjust the deployed environment on …
