More than a decade ago, the research topic models@ run. time was coined. Since then, the
research area has received increasing attention. Given the prolific results during these …

The complexity of information systems is increasing in recent years, leading to increased
effort for maintenance and configuration. Self-adaptive systems (SASs) address this issue …

Abstract Context Service-Orientation (SO) is a rapidly emerging paradigm for the design and
development of adaptive and dynamic software systems. Software Product Line Engineering …

Advanced software engineering is the key factor in the design of future complex cognitive
robots. It will decide about their robustness,(run-time) adaptivity, cost-effectiveness and …

Computational lexicology may be defined as the application of computers to the study of the
lexicon. Taken in its broadest sense, it would be a multidisciplinary field involving the …

Service-based systems need to provide flexibility to adapt both to evolving requirements
from multiple, often conflicting, ephemeral and unknown stakeholders, as well as to changes …

Adaptability is an increasingly important requirement for many systems, in particular for
those that are deployed in dynamically changing environments. The purpose is to let the …

In model-driven software development a multitude of development models that are related
with each other are used to systematically realize a software system. This results in a …

The ever-growing complexity of software systems coupled with the need to maintain their
quality of service (QoS) characteristics, even under adverse conditions and highly uncertain …
