Self-Improving System Integration - On a Definition and Characteristics of the Challenge
Kirstie L. Bellman, Christian Gruhl, Chris Landauer, Sven Tomforde · 2019
The self-improving system integration (SISSY) initiative-sometimes also called self-integration-started over six years ago. Recently, we have seen contributions approaching parts of the scope from different directions. In order to provide a better understanding how these attempts support the development of novel SISSY technology, this paper presents a definition of the term. In addition, it discusses the fundamental challenges stemming from the increasingly interconnected character of large-scale distributed and adaptive systems typically referred to as "Interwoven Systems", with these systems describing the basic motivation for SISSY research.
