Awareness Requirements for Adaptive Systems

Robinson John Mylopoulos 2011 Awareness Requirements for Adaptive Systems 6th International Symposium on Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems (SEAMS 2011) Honolulu, Hawaii, USA ACM (to appear) 23/05/2011 Requirements engineering, modeling, adaptive systems, awareness, monitoring <p>Recently, there has been a growing interest in self-adaptive systems. Roadmap papers in this area point to feedback loops as a promising way of operationalizing adaptivity in such systems. In this paper, we define a new type of requirement — called Awareness Requirement — that can refer to other requirements and their success/failures. We propose a way to elicit and formalize such requirements and offer a requirements monitoring framework to support them.</p><div> </div><p> </p>
