Towards System Viewpoints to Specify Adaptation Models at Runtime

Abstract

Current research focuses on the specification, analysis, and realisation of systems with self-* properties. Such systems are characterised by the fact that they react on changes in their environment by altering their own structure in order to maintain their non-functional properties. However, there is no standard engineering method to model such systems. In this paper, we propose a set of new system viewpoints and their views. Additionally we describe initial ideas of the properties we want to check based on the new system views
