    A Software Architecture Model Supporting Analysis and Planning in Self-Adaptation

    • The approach based on model-driven software architecture is one of the most important approaches for software adaptation. Especially in the analysis and planning stages, many model-based methods and tools are used to support designers in decision making. But most of these approaches and their supporting tools are provided only for specific architectural description languages or modeling tools. It is hard to reuse or integrate them with other approaches. On the other hand, recent research in the field of model driven architecture (MDA) provides standards to enhance the interoperability of the methods and tools. These standards include MOF for meta modeling, QVT for model query, view and transformation, and so on. For these concerns, the authors summarize the models and model operations needed in the analysis and planning stages to see how to apply standard model technologies to support these stages. They then extend the ABC-ADL, and use the standard model technologies including model transformation and model query in its implementation to support analysis and planning. The adaptation of an anti-pattern in ECPerf system is used as a case study to show the usability of our ADL. In addition, two analysis approaches used in the case study show how to use their ADL to reuse and integrate other approaches.
