Abstract:
System engineers are facing demanding challenges in terms of complexity and interconnectedness. Current
research initiatives like Organic or Autonomic Computing propose to increase the freedom of the system to
be developed using concepts like adaptivity and self-organisation. Adaptivity means that for such systems we
defer a part of the design process from design time to runtime. Therefore, we need a runtime infrastructure
which takes care of runtime modifications. This paper presents a meta-design process to develop adaptive
systems and parametrise the runtime infrastructure in a unified way. To demonstrate the proposed design
process, we applied it to a communication scenario and evaluate the resulting system in a realistic setting.
