Type Annotation for Adaptive Systems

TL;DR

This paper proposes a flexible type annotation system for graph-based adaptive systems, allowing elements to change types dynamically in response to context, enhancing adaptability over classical graph morphism typing.

Contribution

It introduces a novel type annotation mechanism integrated with graphs, enabling dynamic adaptation of element types in response to changing contexts.

Findings

Type annotations improve flexibility in graph systems.

Case studies demonstrate practical relevance of adaptive typing.

Dynamic type changes facilitate system adaptability.

Abstract

We introduce type annotations as a flexible typing mechanism for graph systems and discuss their advantages with respect to classical typing based on graph morphisms. In this approach the type system is incorporated with the graph and elements can adapt to changes in context by changing their type annotations. We discuss some case studies in which this mechanism is relevant.
