RGAM: An Architecture-Based Approach to Self-management

Abstract

Software systems must self-adapt to changes in their execution environment and in the user requirements and usages. An architectural solution enables tackling more effectively problems related to self-adaptation. This paper presents an architecture-based approach to self-adaptation that relies on architectural reflection and on closed-loop principles. The approach has been developed and tested on a real scenario related to the management of emergencies in case of floods.
