Abstract:

This talk argues that there are four levels of requirements engineering (RE) for and in a dynamic adaptive system: (1) by humans, for the general behavior of the system, (2) by the system itself, whenever it is adapting based on changes to its environment, (3) by humans, to decide when, how, and where the system is to adapt, and (4) by humans, doing research about adaptive systems. Some example dynamic adaptive systems are decomposed into their four levels of RE.
