The MAPE-K (Monitor-Analyze-Plan-Execute over a shared Knowledge) feedback loop is
the most influential reference control model for autonomic and self-adaptive systems. This …

A zero-knowledge proof system of knowledge is a protocol between two parties called the
prover and the verifier. The prover wants to convince the verifier that he'knows' the proof of a …

Abstract IoT (Internet of Things) devices are extensively used in security-critical services, as
for example home door opening, gas monitoring, alarm systems, etc. Often, they use …

Feedback control loops that monitor and adapt managed parts of a software system are
considered crucial for realizing self-adaptation in software systems. The MAPE-K (Monitor …

Safety-critical systems require development methods and processes that lead to provably
correct systems in order to prevent catastrophic consequences due to system failure or …

According to best practices of model‐driven engineering, the implementation of a system
should be obtained from its model through a systematic model‐to‐code transformation. We …

Modern automotive systems with adaptive control features require rigorous analysis to
guarantee correct operation. We report our experience in modeling the automotive case …

Medical devices are safety-critical systems since their malfunctions can seriously
compromise human safety. Correct operation of a medical device depends upon the …

The paper presents an approach for rigorous development of safety-critical systems based
on the Abstract State Machine formal method. The development process starts from a high …

In architecture-based self-adaptation of decentralized systems, design patterns have been
introduced to ease the design of complex adaptation solutions that usually require the …
