A model-based framework for self-adaptive software

As software systems become more interconnected and diverse, architects are less able to anticipate and design interactions among components, leaving such issues to be dealt with at runtime. The objective of this research project is to investigate, design, and develop a novel model-based framework to enable self-adaptive software. The proposed methodology can be divided into three crucial phases: i) developing methodologies and tools to define and describe a rich syntax and semantic common context to allow definition of rules for reflective component models and dynamic composition and interactions between them, ii) designing a feature that accommodates an extensible set of reconfiguration algorithms, and ii) devising a systematic reconfiguration engine that monitors a system and decides whether a change is necessary.
