Preface
Adaptation plays a central role in dynamically changing systems. It is about the ability of the system to “responsively” self-adjust upon change in the surrounding environment. Like living creatures that have evolved over millions of years developing ecological systems due to their self-adaptation and fitness capacity to the dynamic environment, systems undergo similar cycles to improve or at least not weaken their performance when internal or external changes take place. Internal or endogenous change bears on the physical structure of the system (hardware and/or software components) due mainly to faults, knowledge inconsistency, etc. It requires a certain number of adaptivity features such as flexible deployment, self-testing, self-healing and self-correction. Extraneous change touches on the environment implication such as the operational mode or regime, non-stationarity of input, new knowledge facts, the need to cooperate with other systems, etc. These two classes of change shed light o
