A model-based framework for self-adaptive software

随着软件系统变得更加相互连接和多样化，架构师越来越不能预测和设计组件之间的交互，而将这些问题留在运行时处理。这个研究项目的目标是调查、设计和开发一个新的基于模型的框架，使自适应软件成为可能。所提出的方法可以分为三个关键阶段：i)开发方法和工具来定义和描述丰富的语法和语义公共上下文，以允许为反射组件模型和它们之间的动态组合和交互定义规则；ii)设计一个功能，以容纳可扩展的重构算法集；ii)设计一个系统重构引擎，以监视系统并决定是否需要更改。

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.
