ABSTRACT
Software's ability to adapt at run-time to changing user
needs, system intrusions or faults, changing operational en-
vironment, and resource variability has been proposed as
a means to cope with the complexity of today's software-
intensive systems. Such self-adaptive systems can con¯g-
ure and recon¯gure themselves, augment their functionality,
continually optimize themselves, protect themselves, and re-
cover themselves, while keeping most of their complexity
hidden from the user and administrator. In this paper, we
present research road map for software engineering of self-
adaptive systems focusing on four views, which we identify
as essential: requirements, modelling, engineering, and as-
surances.
