Rigorous Engineering of Collective Adaptive Systems Introduction to the 3rd Track Edition

Abstract

A collective adaptive system consists of collaborating entities that are able to adapt at runtime to dynamically changing, open-ended environments and to evolving requirements. Rigorous engineering requires appropriate methods and tools that help guarantee that a collective adaptive system lives up to its intended purpose. This note gives an introduction to the track “Rigorous Engineering of Collective Adaptive Systems” and its 21 scientific contributions.
