Distributed software built from components has become a mainstay of service-oriented
applications, which frequently undergo reconfigurations to adapt to changes in their …

For large-scale distributed systems that need to adapt to a changing environment,
conducting a reconfiguration is a challenging task. In particular, efficient reconfigurations …

Distributed software architecture is composed of multiple interacting modules, or
components. Deploying such software consists in installing them on a given infrastructure …

Abstract Systems of systems (SoSs) constitute a particular class of systems, whose
constituents are themselves systems in their own right. Such systems present architectures …

Dymanic software updating (DSU) consists in updating running programs on-the-fly without
any downtime that leads to systems unavailability. The use of DSU in critical applications …

Dynamic adaptation of software is the change in the structure or behavior of the software at
runtime without stop** whole system. In component-based adaptive software, an …

Dynamic software updating (DSU) consists in updating running programs on the fly without
any downtime. This feature is interesting in critical applications that must run continuously …

System of systems (SoS) engineering is an emerging approach to deal with complex
systems that have low or no control over their constituents. An SoS must adapt itself not only …

Adaptive software is a class of software which is able to modify its own internal structure and
hence its behavior at runtime in response to changes in its operating environment. Adaptive …

Adaptation is a key requirement for many software systems, such as cloud-based, cyber-
physical and mobile systems. These systems are designed to satisfy different needs and …
