Motivation

Self-adaptive software systems (SAS) are an important class of software applications. Examples are IoT systems and IaaS/cloud systems like scalable web services. Since evoluationary algorithms (EA) are a well-established optimization approach, we would like to try the following:


Tasks

The thesis aims to explore the applicability of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) for the design-time optimization of runtime adaptation strategies

The main tasks will be:

  • Conceptualize the idea
  • Formalize the idea: elaborate the theoretical foundations to apply EAs
  • Implement and evaluate the concept


Benefits

  • Insight into a highly relevant field of research
  • Opportunity to develop innovative technologies
  • Opportunity to contribute to a scientific publication
  • Very good working environment and intensive support
