Abstract. Increasingly complex information systems operating in dynamic environments ask for management policies able to deal intelligently and autonomously with problems and tasks. An attempt to deal with these aspects can be found in the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm that foresees the creation of business applications from independently developed services, where services and applications build up complex dependencies. Therefore the dependability of SOA systems strongly depends on their ability to self-manage and adapt themselves to cope with changes in the operating conditions and to meet the required dependability with a minimum of resources. In this paper we propose a model-based approach to the realization of self-adaptable SOA systems, aimed at the fulfillment of dependability requirements. Specifically, we provide a methodology driving the system adaptation and we discuss the architectural issues related to its implementation. To bring this approach to fruition, we developed a prototype tool and we show the results that can be achieved with a simple example.

Abstract-Current applications have characteristics related to the variability of both execution context (available resources) and user requirements (functional goals). Adaptability of software applications is precisely their ability to evolve in order to react,in the most possible optimal way, to these two types of variation. Designing and implementing such adaptation policy requires, first, be able to describe the current state of the application. This can match, according to the considered approach, the description of the application from the behavioral perspective or its description by considering the architectural point of view. This paper considers the second option targeting the Web Service technology. It introduces a sub language of the XML meta-language whose purpose is to provide a highlyexpressive description of software architectures. The use of XML allowshaving homogeneous description with respect to the description of elementary entities (i.e. Web Services) using another XML sub language, WSDL.

“…Over the past decade, many self-adaptive approaches and systems have been proposed by researchers from the software engineering for adaptive and self-managing systems (SEAMS) community, with multiple adaptation purposes [4,5]. Certainly, many of the proposed self-adaptive software (SAS) systems have been designed to operate in highly dynamic socio-technical ecosystems where requirements, models, and contexts change at runtime [6]. This wide spectrum of system types, adaptation concerns, and dynamic goals has made it difficult to develop general runtime V&V methods.…”

Abstract. Software validation and verification (V&V) ensures that software products satisfy user requirements and meet their expected quality attributes throughout their lifecycle. While high levels of adaptation and autonomy provide new ways for software systems to operate in highly dynamic environments, developing certifiable V&V methods for guaranteeing the achievement of self-adaptive software goals is one of the major challenges facing the entire research field. In this chapter we (i) analyze fundamental challenges and concerns for the development of V&V methods and techniques that provide certifiable trust in self-adaptive and self-managing systems; and (ii) present a proposal for including V&V operations explicitly in feedback loops for ensuring the achievement of software self-adaptation goals. Both of these contributions provide valuable starting points for V&V researchers to help advance this field.
