Dynamic adaptation software for virtual interconsultation

Enabling Safe Dynamic Component-Based Software Adaptation

Recomposable software enables a system to change its structure and behavior during execution, in response to a dynamic execution environment. This paper proposes an approach to ensure that such adaptations are safe with respect to system consistency. The proposed method takes into consideration dependency analysis for target components, specifically determining viable sequences of adaptive acti...

Dynamic Coalition Adaptation for Efficient Agent-Based Virtual Power Plants

An agent-based organizational model for a smart energy system is introduced relying on a dynamic coalition formation mechanism for virtual power plants. Central to this mechanism we propose a solution concept that stems from the existent stability notions in coalitional games. The process is intended as an open-ended organizational adaptation, concerned with achieving stable configurations that...

Completely Unanticipated Dynamic Adaptation of Software

Safe Virtual Execution Using Software Dynamic Translation

Safe virtual execution (SVE) allows a host computer system to reduce the risks associated with running untrusted programs. SVE prevents untrusted programs from directly accessing system resources, thereby giving the host the ability to control how individual resources may be used. SVE is used in a variety of safety-conscious software systems, including the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), software f...

Dynamic Software Assembly for Automatic Deployment-oriented Adaptation

The notion of software adaptation considered in this paper relates to the capability of making software systems adjustable to varying deployment requirements. In this context we seek for the necessary runtime infrastructure to allow software systems adapt on the fly to the particular execution requirements. The primary assumption is that the constituent components of a software system may have ...
