【 摘 要 】

Approaches to self-adaptive software systems use models atruntime to leverage benets of model-driven engineering (MDE) for pro- viding views on running systems and for engineering feedback loops. Most of these approaches focus on causally connecting runtime mod- els and running systems, and just apply typical MDE techniques, like model transformation, or well-known techniques, like event-condition- action rules, from other elds than MDE to realize a feedback loop. However, elaborating requirements for feedback loop activities for the specic case of runtime models is rather neglected. Therefore, we investigate requirements for Adaptation Models that spec- ify the analysis, decision-making, and planning of adaptation as part of a feedback loop. In particular, we consider requirements for a modeling language of adaptation models, and for a framework as the execution en- vironment of adaptation models. Moreover, we discuss patterns for using adaptation models within the feedback loop regarding the structuring of loop activities. The patterns and the requirements for adaptation models
