| Abstract | Self-adaptive software requires high dependability robustness, adaptability, and availability. The article describes an infrastructure supporting two simultaneous processes in self-adaptive software: system evolution, the consistent application of change over time, and system adaptation, the cycle of detecting changing circumstances and planning and deploying responsive modifications. |
