A Classification Scheme for Self-adaptation Research

The research on self-adaptation is distributed across many sub-disciplines of computer science. This leads to the reinvention of concepts and impairs the ability to establish a structured research program on self-adaptation. This paper contributes a classification scheme that allows to structure selfadaptation research and to compare approaches from different domains. The classification scheme is based on basic concepts that are shared across the research disciplines presented in this paper.
