Abstract

Two classes of software that are notoriously difficult to develop on their own are rapidly merging into one. This will affect every key service that we rely upon in modern society, yet a successful merge is unlikely to be achievable using software development techniques specific to either class. This paper explains the growing demand for software capable of both self-adaptation and high integrity, and advocates the use of a collection of "@runtime" techniques for its development, operation and management. We summarise early research into the development of such techniques, and discuss the remaining work required to overcome the great challenge of self-adaptive high-integrity software.
