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 methodology that facilitates the design of fault-tolerant computing systems is presented, based on the notion of a fail-stop processor, which automatically halts in response to any internal failure and does so before the effects of that failure become visible.

TL;DR: The paper shows how Psync can be efficiently implemented on an unreliable communications network, and it demonstrates how conversations serve as an elegant foundation for ordering messages exchanged in a distributed computation and for recovering from processor failures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a holistic controller framework that optimizes power consumption, performance benefits, and the transient costs incurred by various adaptations and the controller itself to maximize overall utility.
