A survey of formal methods in self-adaptive systems
2012
Proceedings of the Fifth International C* Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering - C3S2E '12
A relevant part of the studies use formal methods at runtime, but the use is limited to modeling and analysis. ...
To the best of our knowledge, no systematic study has been performed on the use of formal methods in self-adaptive systems. ...
The main use of these methods is for modeling and analysis. There is plenty of room for research on exploiting the use of formal methods for other activities of self-adaptation. ...
