Context: Self-adaptive Systems Goal : Self-adaptive Systems (SAS) Robert Laddaga 1997: "Self Adaptive Software evaluates its own behavior and changes behavior when the evaluation indicates that it is not accomplishing what the software is intended to do, or when better functionality or performance is possible . “ [L97] Autonomic Manager Analyze Plan Knowledge Monitor Execute MAPE-K Loop [KC03] 17.07.2013 Multi-Quality Auto-Tuning by Contract Negotiation Slide 3

Motivation • User objectives relate to qualities : energy, performance, domain-specific qualities as noise-levels, etc. • Often multiple, competing qualities are to be considered in combination [ST09] A novel approach to design & operate self-optimizing systems covering multiple objectives . Multi-Quality Auto-Tuning (MQuAT) 17.07.2013 Multi-Quality Auto-Tuning by Contract Negotiation Slide 5

Problems / Related Work Problem 1 : Developers cannot reuse solutions to build self-optimizing systems although many specific approaches exist. • Fixed set of considered properties (e.g., bandwidth, response time) • Fixed architecture (e.g., specific to servers, mobile phones or cars) • Fixed optimization technique (e.g., integer linear programming) Goal : A generic approach to self-optimizing systems. Solution : A model-driven development approach to self-optimization • A component-based metamodel enabling the developer to specify the properties of interest and the system‘s architecture. • Technology bridges to utilize multiple optimization techniques (generation of optimization problems). 17.07.2013 Multi-Quality Auto-Tuning by Contract Negotiation Slide 6

Problems / Related Work Problem 2 : Existing (specific) approaches do not cover dependencies between qualities. • Quality-contract-based approaches • COMQUAD  QoS characteristics (e.g., response_time < 5ms ) [RZ03] • THESEUS  SLAs; QoS intervals (e.g., 2ms < response_time < 5ms ) [S10] • No context-dependent QoS statements (e.g., response_time(size) = f(size) ) • Both projects identified the need to cover QoS dependencies [ZM03, S10] Goal : Explicit coverage of (context-dependent) interaction between qualities. Solution : • An extended notion of quality contracts and • A process for quality contract refinement. 17.07.2013 Multi-Quality Auto-Tuning by Contract Negotiation Slide 8

Problems / Related Work Problem 3 : Competing qualities demand for multi-objective optimization having a high computational complexity (NP-hard) [NW99] • Multi-objective approaches (e.g., OCTOPUS) • „a priori“: aggregation of objectives prior to optimization • „a posteriori“: optimization delivers set of multi-dimensional solutions (Pareto front) • Optimization at runtime requires feasible, assessable time requirements Goal : A generic, assessable runtime multi-objective optimization approach. Solution : • 4 runtime technology bridges to multi-objective optimization techiques. • Scalability analysis of supported techniques. 17.07.2013 Multi-Quality Auto-Tuning by Contract Negotiation Slide 9

Contract Refinement [GWC+12b] • Target systems and user input are unknown to developer. • Developer creates contract templates : contract Dbx implements NoiseReduction .apply { NoiseReduction apply mode professional { <meta> audio_length : Second ... provides min response_time : response_time : Second <response_time>(audio_length) [s]; noiseReductionLevel: dB } ... } • Developer creates Benchmark Suite using Profiler Framework [WGR13] for (i = 0; i <= N; i++) { Profiler.getProfiler („ response_time “). start(); dbx.apply(sample_files[i]); Profiler.getProfiler („ response_time “).stop(); } 17.07.2013 Multi-Quality Auto-Tuning by Contract Negotiation Slide 16
