Managing Trade-Offs in Adaptable Software Architectures explores the latest research on adapting large complex systems to changing requirements. To be able to adapt a system, engineers must evaluate different quality attributes, including trade-offs to balance functional and quality requirements to maintain a well-functioning system throughout the lifetime of the system. This comprehensive resource brings together research focusing on how to manage trade-offs and architect adaptive systems in different business contexts. It presents state-of-the-art techniques, methodologies, tools, best practices, and guidelines for developing adaptive systems, and offers guidance for future software engineering research and practice. Each contributed chapter considers the practical application of the topic through case studies, experiments, empirical validation, or systematic comparisons with other approaches already in practice. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, how to architect a system for adaptability, software architecture for self-adaptive systems, understanding and balancing the trade-offs involved, architectural patterns for self-adaptive systems, how quality attributes are exhibited by the architecture of the system, how to connect the quality of a software architecture to system architecture or other system considerations, and more. Explains software architectural processes and metrics supporting highly adaptive and complex engineeringCovers validation, verification, security, and quality assurance in system designDiscusses domain-specific software engineering issues for cloud-based, mobile, context-sensitive, cyber-physical, ultra-large-scale/internet-scale systems, mash-up, and autonomic systemsIncludes practical case studies of complex, adaptive, and context-critical systems INDICE: Chapters will include these topics: Software architectural processes supporting highly adaptive and complex engineeringSoftware metrics definition, capture and analysis for adaptable software architecturesAdaptable software architecture design and alignment for achieving high levels of quality Requirements engineering incorporating high-assurance, adaptive software architectureDesign decisions and trade-offs in the context of complex software system engineeringSoftware architecture validation and verification, especially with a focus on ensuring complex, adaptive software systems qualitySoftware engineering for/in adaptable software architecturesDomain-specific software engineering issuesPractical case studies of architecting for complex, adaptive and context-critical systems
