Abstract
Modern software should satisfy multiple goals simultaneously: it
should provide predictable performance, be robust to failures, handle
peak loads and deal seamlessly with unexpected conditions and changes
in the execution environment. For this to happen, software designs
should account for the possibility of runtime changes and provide
formal guarantees of the software's behavior. Control theory is one of
the possible design drivers for runtime adaptation, but adopting
control theoretic principles often requires additional, specialized
knowledge. To overcome this limitation, automated methodologies have
been proposed to extract the necessary information from experimental
data and design a control system for runtime adaptation. These
proposals, however, only process one goal at a time, creating a chain
of controllers. In this paper, we propose and evaluate the first
automated strategy that takes into account multiple goals without
separating them into multiple control strategies. Avoiding the
separation allows us to tackle a larger class of problems and provide
stronger guarantees. We test our methodology's generality with three
case studies that demonstrate its broad applicability in meeting
performance, reliability, quality, security, and energy goals despite
environmental or requirements changes.
