Lehrinhalt During the first few weeks of the semester, students wll read their papers and prepare their presentations. The presentations will be packaged into larger sessions, each spanning several presentations and discussions. Students will show preliminary versions of their work at an early stage, to get advice and avoid overload towards the end of course.
Kurzbeschreibung In the seminar, we´ll study fundamental and recent research papers in self-adaptive software. We are particularly interested in understanding the software engineering technology that is needed for building self-adaptive software. This includes:
  • Architecture of self-adaptive software;
  • self-adaptive middleware;
  • specifications of self-adaptive software;
  • tools and frameworks for developers;
  • prototype implementations.
