Towards Linking Adaptation Rules to the Utility Function for Dynamic Architectures

TL;DR

This paper proposes a pattern-based approach to connect utility functions with adaptation rules at the architectural level, enhancing self-adaptation in dynamic systems.

Contribution

It introduces a novel method for linking utility functions and adaptation rules to improve self-adaptive system design.

Findings

Enhanced integration of utility functions and rules

Improved self-adaptation capabilities

Architectural pattern for linking rules and utility

Abstract

To benefit from utility-driven and rule-based approaches to self-adaptation, we propose combining both by defining and linking the utility function and the adaptation rules in a pattern-based way at the architectural level.
