“…Therefore, it can be noted that the application domain, and the user's needs, determine the use of self‐properties so that the requirements of an application are met. Based on the reported evidence and previous experiences of our research group, 69‐71 implementing self‐based software systems is not a trivial task due to the nature of these systems. Therefore, addressing more than one property can make development more complex and costly.…”

Self‐adaptive service‐oriented Applications (Self‐Apps) must be able to understand themselves or the environment in which they are executed, and propose solutions to meet changing conditions. The development of these applications is not a trivial task, since it encompasses issues from different research areas. Despite the importance of frameworks for Self‐Apps, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis of how the design of such applications is performed, and regarding the standardization of concepts and coverage of minimum requirements for Self‐Apps. The main contribution of this article is to present this comprehensive analysis, providing the state of the art for this subject. This analysis was built through a Systematic Mapping Study, based on a total of 65 studies, from which we identify the main attributes for Quality of Service (QoS), search strategies, and service management strategies employed in the design of frameworks for Self‐Apps. The main aspects of requirements involved in the design of Self‐Apps were pointed out to stakeholders. For example, these applications must implement a method for evaluation of QoS based on metrics. We also put forward the S‐Frame, a modular solution that brings together the main features for the design of Self‐Apps, and describe the main challenges concerning these applications.

“…Therefore, it can note that the effective knowledge reuse of RAs depends not only on raising the domain knowledge but also documenting and communicating efficiently this knowledge through an adequate architectural description. Considering the relevance of this research topic as the basis of software development, a diversity of architectures has been proposed and used, including self-* software (e.g., FORMS [23] RA4SaS [10], RA4Self-MobApps [5], among others).…”

“…As reported in Section II-A, SaS is a special type of software system because enables adaptation at runtime. Thus, in order to elicit the requirements for the RA4Self-CPS design regarding adaptation, we used the 5W1H model based on the previous experience of our research group [5], [10]. To do so, we have used the following questions: (i) What will be adapted?…”

“…only on the software domain, it will be referenced as Selfadaptive Software (SaS). According to Salehie & Tahvildari [4] and Affonso et al [5], SaS enables the incorporation of new features and/or behavior at runtime (i.e., adaptations without interrupting the execution).…”

“…Based on this scenario, the main goal of this article is to present the RA4Self-CPS, an RA for Self-CPS based on ProSA-RA (Process based on Software Architecture -Reference Architecture) [9]. This architecture was designed based on previous experiences of our research group, namely: (i) an RA called RA4SaS to support the development of SaS [10]; (ii) a framework to support the development of decision support systems for SaS domain [11]; and (iii) an RA named RA4Self-MobApps to support the development of Self-MobApps (Self-adaptive Service-oriented Mobile Applications) [5], [12]. In short, our architecture was organized into three layers, namely: physical environment, cyber, and adaptation.…”

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) represent an evolution of embedded systems by the computational elements interacting with physical entities through a network. Selfadaptive Cyber-Physical Systems (Self-CPS) present specific features compared to traditional CPS because this type of system can deal with changes at runtime. In parallel, Reference Architectures (RA) enable reusable artifacts that aggregate the knowledge of software architectures in specific domains. RAs have facilitated the development, standardization, and system evolution in different domains. Despite their relevance, reference architectures that could support the more systematic development of Self-CPS, covering issues like self-protecting and observability, are not found yet. Based on this scenario, the main contribution of this paper is to present an RA for Self-CPS named RA4Self-CPS. The goal of this RA is to support the Self-CPS development that requires self-protecting, observability, and adaptation at runtime. To show the viability of our RA, we conducted a case study that revealed a good perspective to contribute to the Self-CPS area.
