Abstract:
Dynamic adaptive systems are systems that change their behavior at run time, based on system, user, environ¬ment and context information and needs. System configuration in terms of structure and behavior of open, self-organized sys¬tems cannot completely be predicted beforehand: New components may join, others may leave the system, or the behavior of individual components of the system may change over time. But in many cases, it is neces¬sary to ensure the compliance of the resulting overall system con¬figuration to users, environ-ment and context requirements. Therefore we have elaborated an approach to specify those re¬quirements based on so called component templates and ser¬vice application specifications. These specifications can be de¬scribed without the necessity to know individual components, their specific interfaces or possi-ble system configurations. Thus, we can control the resulting system configurations of an open, self-organizing system with respect to users, environment and context requirements. Our approach has been implemented on top of our component model and corresponding platform imple¬mentation called Dy-namic Adaptive System Infrastruc¬ture (DAiSI)
