In the past five years there has been a dramatic increase in work on Search-Based Software
Engineering (SBSE), an approach to Software Engineering (SE) in which Search-Based …

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 …

Runtime adaptation mechanisms that leverage software models extend the applicability of
model-driven engineering techniques to the runtime environment. Contemporary mission …

In the past five years there has been a dramatic increase in work on Search Based Software
Engineering (SBSE), an approach to software engineering in which search based …

Self-reconfiguration enables a dynamically adaptive system (DAS) to satisfy requirements
even as detrimental system and environmental conditions arise. A DAS, especially one …

This survey investigates search-based approaches to software design. The basics of the
most popular meta-heuristic algorithms are presented as background to the search-based …

In the context of software development, models provide an abstract representation of a
software system or a part of it. In the software development process, they are primarily used …

Abstract Model-driven engineering (MDE) and search-based software engineering (SBSE)
are both relevant approaches to software engineering. MDE aims to raise the level of …

Increasingly, applications need to be able to self-reconfigure in response to changing
requirements and environmental conditions. Autonomic computing has been proposed as a …

In this paper, we review current requirements engineering (RE) research and identify future
research directions suggested by emerging software needs. First, we overview the state of …
