Adaptive computing systems automatically monitor their behavior and dynamically adjust their own configuration parameters—or knobs—to ensure that user goals are met despite unpredictable external disturbances to the system. A major limitation of prior adaptation frameworks is that their internal adaptation logic is implemented for a specific, narrow set of goals and knobs, which impedes the development of complex adaptive systems that must meet different goals using different sets of knobs for different deployments, or even change goals during one deployment.
