Description
A general aim for high-tech system development is to improve system evolvability, i.e. the ability to easily adapt systems in response to evolution of technology, competition, and/or customer expectations. Systems should be easily modifiable to take advance of new hardware and software technologies and to respond quickly to changing customer expectations. Current development approaches specify the functionality of a system at design-time. Such approaches are not sufficiently adequate to develop systems that easily adapt to environmental or product usage fluctuations. A viable answer to these new challenges is genuine system adaptability; i.e. the ability of the system to adapt itself to fluctuations in the environment, the use of the product, etc.; naturally, these adaptations should not require an expensive and time-consuming product development cycle.
