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: It turned out that most real-life Web applications need an underlying database to be stable, flexible and scalable and Appropriate design methodologies are hence needed to implement complex functionality.

TL;DR: By using explicit connectors, the complexity of application components is reduced without the need for any heavy weight middleware, in fact, the set of all deployed explicit connectors forms the smallest possible, custom tailored middleware.

TL;DR: This paper contributes with the consequent application of the component paradigm to AUTOSAR's layered middleware, thereby gaining all benefits of CBSE not only for the application level, but for the whole automotive software system.
