Software that thinks on its own

As society increasingly relies on high-quality software, applications need to be as adaptive as possible. EU-funded researchers successfully contributed to the development of sophisticated software systems that can readily adapt in the face of changing user needs and environments.

Self-adaptive systems are computer programs that can react and reconfigure themselves, minimising human intervention and ideally ensuring lifelong fulfilment of users' requirements. However, in current software engineering paradigms, systems do not anticipate events, but only react accordingly to them. Lacking the capability to anticipate changes may lead to software downtime.
