“…They also explain how preliminary work on personalized and customized software can be applied to adaptive systems (e.g., [10,11]). In addition, some research approaches have successfully used goal models as a foundation for specifying the autonomic behaviour [12] and requirements of adaptive systems [13].…”

Abstract. The goal of this roadmap paper is to summarize the state-ofthe-art and to identify critical challenges for the systematic software engineering of self-adaptive systems. The paper is partitioned into four parts, one for each of the identified essential views of self-adaptation: modelling dimensions, requirements, engineering, and assurances. For each view, we present the state-of-the-art and the challenges that our community must address. This roadmap paper is a result of the Dagstuhl Seminar 08031 on "Software Engineering for Self-Adaptive Systems, " which took place in January 2008.

“…Adaptive software systems (e.g., [12]) use soft-goals to choose the configuration that maximizes the satisfaction of a set of NFRs. We also rely on optimizing NFRs; however, unlike those approaches, we account for the priorities of each user, and we allow for contextual contributions.…”

Abstract. Pervasive environments support users' daily routines in an invisible and unobtrusive way. To do so, they include a technical pervasive infrastructure, which is aware of and adaptive to both the operational context and the users at hand. Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) have been effectively used to inform decision-making in software engineering: functional alternatives are compared in terms of their contribution to NFRs satisfaction. In this work, we consider user preferences over NFRs as a key driver for the adaptation of a pervasive infrastructure. We devise a model-driven framework for building pervasive systems that maximize fitness with the context and the user. Our contributions are: (i) adaptive task models, a conceptual model to describe user routines that accounts for user preferences over NFRs; and (ii) an adaptation framework, which uses our models at runtime to guide a pervasive infrastructure in adapting its behaviour to user preferences and context.

“…Realising the limitations of solution-oriented approaches to context-awareness, Zhang and Cheng [17] suggest a problem-oriented approach in which they focus on how to derive switching specifications for safety critical systems as discussed in [18,19]. However, they do not examine how physical context is represented and monitored and what its impact is on such switching specifications.…”
