Self-adaptive software is capable of evaluating and changing its own behavior, whenever
the evaluation shows that the software is not accomplishing what it was intended to do, or …

One major challenge in self-adaptive systems is to assure the required quality properties.
Formal methods provide the means to rigorously specify and reason about the behaviors of …

To deal with the increasing complexity of software systems and uncertainty of their
environments, software engineers have turned to self-adaptivity. Self-adaptive systems are …

CONTEXT: The environment in which the system operates, its context, is variable. The
autonomous ability of a software to adapt to context has to be planned since the …

Self‐adaptive software is a closed‐loop system, since it continuously monitors its context (ie
environment) and/or self (ie software entities) in order to adapt itself properly to changes. We …

It is often the case that stakeholders want to strengthen/weaken or otherwise change their
requirements for a system-to-be when certain conditions apply at runtime. For example …

Systems engineering (SE) is experiencing a significant expansion that encompasses
increasingly complex systems. However, a common body of knowledge on how to apply …

Self adaptation has been proposed to overcome the complexity of today's software systems
which results from the uncertainty issue. Aspects of uncertainty include changing systems …

Organizations willing to employ workflow technology have to be prepared to undertake a
significant investment of time and effort due to the exceptionally dynamic nature of the …

Customizing software to perfectly fit individual needs is becoming increasingly important in
