Abstract

In this work, we compare current approaches to dynamic adaptation (DA) and identify the need for further research on mechanisms for DA, which should allow for higher compositionality and flexibility. Moreover, after exploring the research landscape in DA we identified the need for a framework that permits to compose several elements of a software system and specially the ones that perform adaptation. Finally, we identified the need for a framework that allows for runtime discovery or replacement of services with a runtime environment capable of verifying the reliability of changes and preservation of the execution time bounds of the software system.
