Abstract | |||||||||||||
| This paper provides a unifying view for the engineering of self-adaptive (SA) and self-organising (SO) systems. We first identify requirements for designing and building trustworthy self-adaptive and self-organising systems. Second, we propose a generic framework combining design-time and run-time features, which permit the definition and analysis at design-time of mechanisms that both ensure and constrain the run-time behaviour of an SA or SO system, thereby providing some assurance of its self-* capabilities. We show how this framework applies to both an SA and an SO system, and discuss several current proof-of-concept studies on the enabling technologies.. @InProceedings{dimarzoserugendo_et_al:DSP:2008:1563, author = {Giovanna Di Marzo Serugendo and John Fitzgerald and Alexander Romanovsky and Nicolas Guelfi}, title = {A Generic Framework for the Engineering of Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising Systems}, booktitle = {Organic Computing - Controlled Self-organization}, year = {2008}, editor = {Kirstie Bellman and Michael G.
