Self-improving system integration: Mastering continuous change

The research initiative “self-improving system integration” (SISSY) was established with the goal to master ever-changing demands of organisation in presence autonomous subsystems, evolving architectures, and highly-dynamic open environments. It aims move integration-related decisions from design-time run-time, implying a further shift expertise responsibility human engineers systems. This introduces qualitative existing self-adaptive self-organising systems, moving self-adaptation based on predefined variation types, towards more contexts involving novel collaborative behaviours, emerging goals. In this article, we revisit SISSY efforts establish corresponding terminology focusing how relates broad field integration sciences. We then investigate SISSY-related derive taxonomy technology. is concluded by establishing road-map for developing operational self-improving self-integrating
