尽管有大量关于自我适应的工作，但尚未对与自我适应相关的主张和这些主张存在的证据进行系统的研究。由于这种见解对研究人员和工程师至关重要，我们对2006年以来seam的研究结果和2008年Dagstuhl相关研讨会的研究结果进行了文献研究。研究表明，自适应的主要要求是提高系统的灵活性、可靠性和性能。另一方面，自我适应所隐含的权衡并没有得到太多的关注。证据是从基本的例子中获得的，或者只是缺乏证据。很少进行系统的实证研究，也没有工业证据的报道。从研究中，我们提出了以下建议，以推动该领域的发展：为了改善评估，研究人员应将其评估方法，工具和数据公开；为了解决对限制的讨论不足的问题，会议/研讨会应该要求在工程论文中有一个明确的限制部分；为了改善对权衡的不良处理，这方面应该是一个明确的审查主题；最后，为了加强工业验证，最好的学术界和工业界的努力可以得到社会的正式认可。
Despite the vast body of work on self-adaption, no systematic study has been performed on the claims associated with self-adaptation and the evidence that exists for these claims. As such an insight is crucial for researchers and engineers, we performed a literature study of the research results from SEAMS since 2006 and the associated Dagstuhl seminar in 2008. The study shows that the primary claims of self-adaptation are improved flexibility, reliability, and performance of the system. On the other hand, the tradeoffs implied by self-adaptation have not received much attention. Evidence is obtained from basic examples, or simply lacking. Few systematic empirical studies have been performed, and no industrial evidence is reported. From the study, we offer the following recommendations to move the field forward: to improve evaluation, researchers should make their assessment methods, tools and data publicly available; to deal with poor discussion of limitations, conferences/workshops should require an explicit section on limitations in engineering papers; to improve poor treatment of tradeoffs, this aspect should be an explicit subject of reviews; and finally, to enhance industrial validation, the best academy-industry efforts could be formally recognized by the community.
