Temporal Reconfiguration Plans for Self-Adaptive Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-adaptive systems have the ability to autonomously reconfigure their structure in order to meet specific goals. Such systems often include a planning component, computing plans of reconfiguration steps. However, despite the fact that reconfigurations take time in reality, most planning approaches for self-adaptive systems are non-temporal. In this paper, we present a model-based approach to the generation of temporal reconfiguration plans. Besides allowing for durative reconfigurations, our technique also neatly solves concurrency issues arising in such a temporal setting. This provides the modeller with a clear and easy-to-use basis for modelling while at the same time giving an automatic method for plan construction.

Planning Self-adaption with Graph Transformations
Self-adaptive systems autonomously adjust their behavior in order to achieve their goals despite changes in the environment and the system itself. Self-adaption is typically implemented in software and often expressed in terms of architectural reconfiguration. The graph transformation formalism is a natural way to model the architectural reconfiguration in self-adaptive systems. In this paper, ...
متن کاملDynamic Management of Integration Testing for Self-Adaptive Systems
Self-adaptive software systems that rely on dynamic reconfiguration of their architectures invariably assume that the configurations have previously been tested. However, this is an unreasonable assumption to be made considering that one might not be able to account at developmenttime for all the architectural elements that might be available at run-time. Hence the challenge for generating plan...
متن کاملStructural Adaptations for Self-Organizing Multi-Agent Systems
Over one decade of research in engineering of selforganization (SO) has established SO as the decentralized way to build self-adaptive systems. However, such SO systems even when well engineered may, under certain conditions, exhibit unwanted dynamical behavior, e.g. performance may decrease and/or starvation may occur. A promising concept to overcome such dynamical in-efficiencies in SO system...
متن کاملA Self-Adaptation Exemplar: the Shipboard Power System Reconfiguration Problem
In a vessel, the Shipboard Power System (SPS) is responsible for supplying energy to various services, such as navigation and communication. A research topic is the reconfiguration of the electrical scheme in case of either failure or damage. Indeed, after a fault, the software control system must ensure the ship’s survival. In a couple of earlier studies, we: (i) analyzed the relation between ...
متن کاملImproved dependability for dynamically reconfigurable hardware: Restoration of the reliability index via replication and error correction
Fault-tolerant (FT) architectures based on classic spatial and temporal redundancy are used in an increasing number of applications. However, the hardware platforms underlying modern highreliability systems have little resemblance to those that were common when such architectures were devised. The earlier fault models are not necessarily out-of-date (e.g. stuck-at faults still play an important...
