A component model for dynamic adaptive systems

ABSTRACT

Dynamic adaptive systems are systems which change their behavior according to the needs of the user during runtime based on context information. Since it is not feasible to develop these systems from scratch every time, a component model enabling dynamic adaptive systems is necessary. Moreover, an infrastructure is required which is capable of wiring dynamic adaptive systems from a set of components in order to provide a dynamic and adaptive behavior to the user. In this paper we present such kind of infrastructure called DAiSI (Dynamic Adaptive System Infrastructure) and the underlying component model. We will present an example scenario illustrating the adaptation capabilities of the introduced component model.
