TOWARDS PREDICTIVE SELF-ADAPTATION IN SOC - A Value-based Perspective

Abstract

Self-adaptation represents one of the main research challenges in Service Oriented Computing. More specifically, predictive self-adaptation attempts to anticipate actions for reacting to potential changes in a system, over time. Nevertheless, the execution of different adaptation strategies on the operational level can produce an unexpected impact on the organizational level. Predicting this impact, mainly in terms of time and cost involved in the adaptation, might be useful to enhance the decision-making process in a business strategic/tactic context. This paper presents some of the challenges in predicting the impact of adaptation strategies in a service provisioning scenario, from a value-based perspective.
