With the exponential growth of communication and information technologies, adaptation has
gained a significant attention as it becomes a key feature of service-based systems, allowing …

Interest in adaptive computing systems has increased dramatically in the past few years, and
a variety of techniques now allow software to adapt dynamically to its environment …

To unleash the great potential of the Internet of Things (IoT), it is critical to facilitate the
creation and operation of IoT systems across IoT, edge and cloud infrastructures with vast …

In this paper we develop an algorithm for action recognition and localization in videos. The
algorithm uses a figure-centric visual word representation. Different from previous …

Self-protecting software systems are a class of autonomic systems capable of detecting and
mitigating security threats at runtime. They are growing in importance, as the stovepipe static …

Driven by the vast proliferation of mobile devices and ubiquitous computing, dynamic
software adaptation is becoming one of the most common terms in Software Engineering …

Today software is the main enabler of many of the appliances and devices omnipresent in
our daily life and important for our well being and work satisfaction. It is expected that the …

Since conventional software security approaches are often manually developed and
statically deployed, they are no longer sufficient against today's sophisticated and evolving …

Composite decisions consist of interconnected parts or subdecisions and correspond to a
composite (composable, modular, decomposable) system. The composite decision …

In this position paper we present a conceptual vision of adaptation, a key feature of
autonomic systems. We put some stress on the role of control data and argue how some of …
