自适应系统(SAS)具有重新配置其行为以响应不断变化的外部条件的能力。因此，SAS的一个关键要素是如何监控环境，以便触发适当的适应。在复杂的系统中，对整个环境进行监控要么是不可能的，要么成本太高。因此，一些适应是不可能的，因为没有适当的监测来触发它们。本文讨论了以语音或文本形式给出的人类输入作为向SA提供环境信息的一种方式的作用。这个想法是，考虑到全面监测环境的局限性，人类的评论可能被用来建立一个更完整的SAS运行环境的图景。本文描述了可用于实现这一想法的现有技术，并描述了这一想法可能有用的一些场景。
Self-adaptive systems (SASs) have the ability to reconfigure their behavior to respond to changing external conditions. A key element of a SAS, therefore, is how to monitor the environment so that appropriate adaptations can be triggered. In complex systems, monitoring the environment in its entirety is either impossible or too expensive. As a result, some adaptations are not possible because there is no monitor in place to trigger them. This paper discusses the role of human input, given as speech or text, as a way to provide environmental information to a SAS. The idea is that, given the limitations of monitoring the environment in full, human commentary can potentially be used to build up a more complete picture of the operating context of a SAS. The paper describes existing technology that could be used to realize this idea and describes a number of scenarios where the idea could be useful.
