Modelling Adaptation Policies for Self-Adaptive Component Architectures
Franck Chauvel, Olivier Barais · 2007
Abstract. In most of software systems, designers try to include some self-adaptation facilities to increase the reliability of their systems. However, despite of the new methods and technologies in software engineering such as CBSE, or AOP, it is still difficult to talk about adaptation since adaptation policies might impact the architecture, the configuration data, and some extra-functional features as well. We suggest in this paper a rule-based approach to model adaptation policies that enables the description of both architectural and functional adaptation and to relate them with extra-functional properties. 1
