TL;DR: The Rainbow framework uses software architectural models to dynamically monitor and adapt a running system and shows that the separation of a generic adaptation infrastructure from system-specific adaptation knowledge makes this reuse possible.

TL;DR: The rainbow framework provides reusable infrastructure together with mechanisms for specializing that infrastructure to the needs of specific systems, and lets the developer of self-adaptation capabilities choose what aspects of the system to model and monitor, what conditions should trigger adaptation, and how to adapt the system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the state-of-the-art and identify research challenges when developing, deploying and managing self-adaptive software systems, focusing on four essential topics of selfadaptation: design space for selfadaptive solutions, software engineering processes, from centralized to decentralized control, and practical run-time verification & validation.

TL;DR: A simple notation for describing interacting MAPE loops is contributed, which is used to describe a number of existing patterns of interacting MAPe loops, to begin to fulfill (a) and (b), and numerous remaining research challenges in this area are outlined.

TL;DR: An overview of recent research in which architectural models are used as the basis for problem diagnosis and repair at run time and external to the application.
