Abstract

About a decade ago, the awareness grew that uncertainty is a key challenge for research in self-adaptive software systems. This talk looks at what we have achieved in this period and at the challenges ahead. I start by examining the knowledge we have obtained on handling uncertainty and illustrate that with one characteristic approach. Then, I will zoom in on the perceptions we have today on the notion of uncertainty in self-adaptive systems. Finally, I will peek into the future and present a viewpoint on how we may be able to push the boundaries in the ability of self-adaptive systems to handle uncertainty that originates from unanticipated changes.

Speaker’s Short Bio

Danny Weyns is a professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, where he is a member of the imec-DistriNet reearch group. His main research interests are in software engineering of self-adaptive systems. He is also part time affiliated with Linnaeus University Sweden, where he worked full time as a professor from March 2011 till September 2015. He received a PhD from for the KU Leuven in 2006 for work on multiagent systems and software archtitecture. After his PhD, he was postdoc fellow, funded by the Research Foundation Flanders.
