“…We plan to further advance this approach to support the development of self-adaptive systems, adopting goal model extensions such as awareness requirements and control variables [18]. This will allow us to support both requirements-based and architectural-based adaptation [1].…”

The derivation of statecharts from requirements has been addressed from many perspectives. All of them assume that the derivation process is a linear series of refinements resulting in a single statechart, thereby missing the opportunity to explore alternatives in the design space. We propose a multi-dimensional approach that exploits inherent variability of the design space, where alternative refinements are considered for the same intermediate problem, resulting in multiple solutions (statecharts) from a single initial problem (requirements). In order to accomplish this, we propose an extended form of goal model where architects can incrementally refine the original requirements by considering behavioral alternatives leading to design solutions. The proposed refinement process is illustrated through an example from the literature. Experimentation with randomly generated models suggests that the proposal is scalable.

“…Recommended language for this framework is ACME architecture description language as it allows the designer to define different architectural alternatives [17], [18]. A study suggests that a combination of requirements and architectural models should be employed to capture target system's adaptation needs [19].…”

Summary We have been witnessing growing interest in systems that can adapt their behavior to deal with deviations between their performance and their requirements at run‐time. Such adaptive systems usually need to support some form of a feedback loop that monitors the system's output for problems and carries out adaptation actions when necessary. Being an important feature, adaptivity needs to be considered in early stages of development. Therefore, adopting a requirements engineering perspective, we have proposed an approach and a framework (both called Zanshin) for the engineering of adaptive systems based on a feedback loop architecture. As part of our framework's evaluation, we have applied the Zanshin approach to the design of an adaptive computer‐aided ambulance dispatch system, whose requirements were based on a well‐known case study from the literature. In this paper, we report on the application of Zanshin for the design of an adaptive computer‐aided ambulance dispatch system, presenting elements of the design, as well as the results from simulations of run‐time scenarios.
