Abstract

Software self-reconfiguration is the capability of software systems to change autonomously their current configuration to a better one. This is a more and more requested feature, particularly for software systems that operate in critical domains when human intervention is not possible or not convenient. The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture proposes a structured Monitor-Diagnose-Compensate cycle that partially meets self-reconfiguration requirements. We propose a realization of the abstract BDI control loop and we draw generic solutions to support the self-reconfiguration process. We aim at supporting traceability and runtime monitoring of requirements and we base our solution on Tropos goal models to structure agents' internal state.
