Models for Self-Adaptive Systems

Amir Molzam Sharifloo

Abstract: Developing self-adaptive systems has been an active research area of software engineering in the last decade. Models are so essential in building these systems that stretch their applications from design time to run time. This paper focuses on the roles of models and the relationships among them in self-adaptive systems. It classifies the types of models often required, and points out the research gaps for future investigation.
