An architectural model for dynamic Adaptable software systems

Abstract

Requirements Engineering needs to be supplemented with software newlineadaptability engineering in order to enable software to be of lasting utility newlineThis thesis titled An architectural model for dynamic adaptable newlinesoftware systems proposes a framework for enabling software systems to newlineadapt to changing requirements which can be either from stakeholders or the newlineoperating environment The proposed architecture for software adaptability and the newlinefunctionality of its various components is explained in detail The adaptive newlinearchitecture is suitable for a range of applications newlineIn order to test the proposed architecture, the domain chosen is a newlinedistributed application whose adaptive behavior has to be studied The newlineessential characteristics of a distributed application have been simulated using newlinea software model newline newline
