Self-Adaptation Techniques for Complex Service-oriented Systems

Complex service-oriented systems comprise humans and software services spanning multiple organizations. These systems are highly dynamic, because services, processes, and teams are not only diverse but they also constantly evolve. Therefore, these systems introduce a variety of challenges on how to adapt services, processes, and teams to changing situations. We contribute with our approach to address these challenges, comprising model-driven compliance support, run-time interaction mining, run-time management of requirements, and an explicit control-loop architecture. We conclude with remaining issues the software and service engineering research community should address.
