Context: Championed by IBM's vision of autonomic computing paper in 2003, the autonomic
computing research field has seen increased research activity over the last 20 years …

Today's digital world and evolving technology has improved the quality of our lives but it has
also come with a number of new threats. In the society of smart-cities and Industry 4.0, where …

The autonomic computing paradigm has been proposed to cope with size, complexity, and
dynamism of contemporary software-intensive systems. The challenge for language …

Abstract SCEL (Service Component Ensemble Language) is a new language specifically
designed to rigorously model and program autonomic components and their interaction …

In this position paper we present a conceptual vision of adaptation, a key feature of
autonomic systems. We put some stress on the role of control data and argue how some of …

Many software systems operate in environments where change and uncertainty are the rule,
rather than exceptions. Techniques for self-adaptation allow these systems to automatically …

A Dynamic Software Product Line (DSPL) aims at managing run-time adaptations of a
software system. It is built on the assumption that context changes that require these …

Self-adaptation is a well-known technique to handle growing complexities of software
systems, where a system autonomously adapts itself in response to changes in a dynamic …

Dynamic reconfiguration techniques can greatly improve the flexibility and reliability of
manufacturing systems. However, different from static reconfigurable systems, system …

As any software system, a self-adaptive system is subject to security threats. However,
applying self-adaptation may introduce additional threats. So far, little research has been …
