In the context of software development, models provide an abstract representation of a
software system or a part of it. In the software development process, they are primarily used …

Abstract Context Service-Orientation (SO) is a rapidly emerging paradigm for the design and
development of adaptive and dynamic software systems. Software Product Line Engineering …

Our research shows that autonomic behavior can be achieved by leveraging variability
models at runtime. In this way, the modeling effort made at design time is not only useful for …

Mobile applications require dynamic reconfiguration services (DRS) to self-adapt their
behavior to the context changes (eg, scarcity of resources). Dynamic Software Product Lines …

One of the most important challenges of this decade is the Internet of Things (IoT), which
aims to enable things to be connected anytime, anyplace, with anything and anyone, ideally …

Runtime adaptive systems are able to dynamically transform their internal structure, and
hence their behavior, in response to internal or external changes. Such transformations …

Modeling the reasoning component of self-adapting systems including its context is a
challenging task. Context feature models used in dynamic software product lines help to …

The execution context in which pervasive systems or mobile computing run changes
continually. Hence, applications for these systems require support for self-adaptation to the …

The purpose of pervasive applications is to be invisible and to require a minimal amount of
user attention. But invisibility raises lots of hard challenges, blocking the long-awaited …

Cloud applications and cyber-physical systems are becoming increasingly complex,
requiring frequent reconfiguration to adapt to changing needs and requirements. Existing …
