“…Some have aimed to serve as conceptual guidelines, such as IBM's MAPE-K [Kephart and Chess 2003] (Monitor-AnalyzePlan-Execute-Knowledge) that describes the different stages of self-adaptation, the work of Mary Shaw [Shaw 1995] that recognizes the feedback-control loop as an essential process within any self-adaptive system, and the architectural model of Kramer and Magee [Kramer and Magee 2007] that puts component control, change management, and goal management in three distinct layers. Others have adopted an implementation perspective, such as Archstudio [Oreizy et al 1998], Rainbow [Garlan et al 2004], and MUSIC [Geihs et al 2009], which advocate a software architecture-based approach for assessing the adaptation decisions and making the changes.…”

The challenges of pervasive and mobile computing environments, which are highly dynamic and unpredictable, have motivated the development of self-adaptive software systems. Although noteworthy successes have been achieved on many fronts, the construction of such systems remains significantly more challenging than traditional systems. We argue this is partially because researchers and practitioners have been struggling with the lack of a precise vocabulary for describing and reasoning about the key architectural characteristics of self-adaptive systems. Further exacerbating the situation is the fact that existing frameworks and guidelines do not provide an encompassing perspective of the different types of concerns in this setting. In this paper, we present a comprehensive reference model, entitled FOrmal Reference Model for Self-adaptation (FORMS), that targets both issues. FORMS provides rigor in the manner such systems can be described and reasoned about. It consists of a small number of formally specified modeling elements that correspond to the key concerns in the design of self-adaptive software systems, and a set of relationships that guide their composition. We demonstrate FORMS's ability to precisely describe and reason about the architectural characteristics of distributed self-adaptive software systems through its application to several existing systems. FORMS's expressive power gives it a potential for documenting reusable architectural solutions (e.g., architectural patterns) to commonly encountered problems in this area.

“…Based on the MAPE-K approach existing frameworks like Rainbow by Garlan et al [10] or StarMX by Asadollahi et al [11] provide a more refined architecture for implementing self-adaptive systems. Geihs et al develop a framework for the development of self-adaptive and reconfigurable software based on the distributed software architecture of the EU project MUSIC [12]. The focus is in particular on the creation of adaptive mobile applications that offer location-based services to the user.…”

Abstract. Self-service systems are complex technical systems and provide products and services for the end user. Due to heterogeneity of the users of such systems the usability of the user interfaces is of great importance. The user interfaces have to be adapted or adapt itself to the various skills and preferences of the users. Due to the monolithic system architecture of existing self-service systems, a simple and flexible usage of the user interface is often restricted. The development of adaptive user interfaces involves challenges for developers that are addressed partially by frameworks like the CAMELEON Reference Framework (CRF). However, no concrete approaches to support the development of flexible and adaptive user interfaces for distributed self-service systems exist in industry. In this paper we describe an integrated model-based approach for the development of adaptive user interfaces.
