Online Testing of Dynamic Reconfigurations w.r.t. Adaptation Policies by Frederic Dadeau, Jean-Philippe Gros, Olga Kouchnarenko

“…In this context, an adaptation policy is designed as a set of rules that indicate, for a given set of configurations, which reconfiguration operations can be triggered, with fuzzy values representing their utility. The adaptation policy has to be faithfully implemented by the system, especially w.r.t. the utility occurring in the rules, which are generally specified for optimizing some extra-functional properties (e.g. minimizing resource consumption). …”
