Research on adaptive and self-managing systems is hindered by a lack of prototypical
applications that researchers could use to evaluate and compare new methods, techniques …

From smart buildings to medical devices to smart nations, software systems increasingly
integrate computation, networking, and interaction with the physical environment. These …

Self-adaptive software systems are often structured into an adaptation engine that manages
an adaptable software by operating on a runtime model that represents the architecture of …

In this paper, we focus on self-adaptation in large-scale software-intensive distributed
systems. The main problem in making such systems self-adaptive is that their adaptation …

Many modern systems interact with both cyber and physical environments. They are
complex systems in which multiple constituent systems work together to achieve higher-level …

Self-adaptive systems commonly operate in heterogeneous contexts and need to consider
multiple quality attributes. Human stakeholders often express their quality preferences by …

The large number of possible configurations of modern software-based systems, combined
with the large number of possible environmental situations of such systems, prohibits …

Recent worldwide events shed light on the need of human-centered systems engineering in
the healthcare domain. These systems must be prepared to evolve quickly but safely …

Context In recent years, software environments such as the cloud and Internet of Things
(IoT) have become increasingly sophisticated, and as a result, development of adaptable …

Self-adaptive systems dynamically change their structure and behavior in response to
changes in their execution environment to ensure the quality of the services they provide …
