Towards Self-Adaptive Systems with Hierarchical Decentralised Control

Self-adaptive systems reconfigure dynamically in response to deviations such as component failures and environmental changes. Such systems are increasingly found in domains including healthcare, transportation, and e-commerce. Many of these systems are inherently distributed, with multiple components running on different computers or devices. Despite recent advances in the engineering of self-adaptive systems, many open challenges remain in this area. This doctoral research focuses on engineering distributed self-adaptive systems that can provide assurance in meeting their requirements.
