Self-Adaptation Approaches for Energy Efficiency: A Systematic Literature Review

摘要

The increasing energy demands of software systems have set an essential software quality requirement: energy efficiency. At the same time, the many contextual changes faced by software systems during execution can hamper their functionality and overall quality. To address both problems, self-adaptation approaches can empower software systems, at both design-time and runtime, to adapt to dynamic conditions. In this way, software systems can be more resilient to failure, hence more trustful to satisfy the demands of modern digital society. In this paper, we perform a systematic literature review to study the state-of-the-art on existing self-adaptation approaches for energy efficiency. We analyze the identified approaches from three different perspectives, namely publication trends, application domains, and types of software systems. Our findings can help solution providers to make guided decisions to enable self-adaptability in designing and engineering software systems.
