Abstract

Nowadays and in the near future, the complexity of computer applications is exponentially increasing. This complexity comes from the inherent properties of such applications: the great number of their involved components, the distribution of their control and skills, the nonlinearity of their process and their increasing openness. This is also caused by the unpredictable coupling with their environment due to high dynamicity. To fulfill these requirements, systems have to adapt themselves in order to be robust and efficient. This paper will deal with self-adaptation in software systems, particularly from a multi-agent viewpoint and will focus on the Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems theory.
