Self-adaptation is an important and desirable property for many systems, particularly for
those that are deployed in dynamically changing environments. The purpose is to let the …

An adaptive system is any system that can self-conform according to changes that occur in
his environment. Self-adaptation includes self-reconfiguration, self-restructuring, self-repair …

Self-adaptive systems are able to operate autonomously by reconfiguring themselves for
changing context conditions and tasks. This capability requires a process of decision making …

To cope with uncertain and statically unforeseen environment behaviour of complex
systems, self-adaptivity has gained wide acceptance. While adaptation decisions are …

Current research focuses on the specification, analysis, and realisation of systems with self-*
properties. Such systems are characterised by the fact that they react on changes in their …

Self-adaptive systems have been introduced to manage situations where software systems
operate under continuous perturbations due to the unpredicted behaviors of their clients and …

Self-adaptive systems enable the run-time modification, or dynamic adaptation, of a software
system in order to offer the most appropriate behavior of the system according to its context …

In computer science the notion of adaptive systems has been used in different contexts for
many years now. Although there is some intuitive, common understanding of the notion, a …
