Partial versions of the technical report titled “An Experiment on the Development of an Adaptive System based on the LAS-CAD” will be published here, starting when a paper that cites it is submitted to SEAMS 2012 (deadline on January, 23rd, 2012).
Abstract: In our PhD research, we have been working on a control-theoretic approach for the development of adaptive systems with a Requirements Engineering perspective. The approach consists of three phases – Awareness Requirements elicitation, System Identification and Evolution Requirements elicitation — which are conducted in parallel with vanilla requirements activities to design a system that is able to adapt at runtime to undesirable situations. To facilitate this adaptation, the system models are done in a way that can be exploited at runtime by an adaptation framework. In the context of this research, we have conducted an experiment in the modeling of an adaptive system based on the well-known London Ambulance Service Computer Aided Dispatch (LAS-CAD) case. This report presents the requirements elicited and modeled for an Adaptive Computer-aided Amblance Dispatch system (A-CAD) that has been designed using the aforementioned process.
