Introduction: The First International Workshop on Self-Adaptive Software

This collection of papers was presented at the international workshop on self adaptive software (IWSAS2000) held at Lady Margaret Hall at the University of Oxford between April 17th and April 19th 2000. They represent the state of the art in a new evolving field of research that attempts to build software systems that are more robust to unpredictable and sometimes hostile environments than we have managed to produce by conventional means.
