SOFTWARE ADAPTATION IN AN OPEN ENVIRONMENT

The book is about a very active research field in software engineering. In modern society, the fact of the world’s high reliance on software requires the system’s robustness, i.e., continual availability and satisfactory service quality. This requirement gives rise to the popularity of the research on the self-adaptive software in open environment. There are some academic conferences dedicated to this field. But there is a lack of monographs about the topic. We believe such need is unmet in marketplace. By publishing the book, it can help bridge the gap and bring benefits to readers thereof.
