Abstract
Self-Adaptive systems are expected to adapt to unanticipated run-time
events using imperfect information about their environment. This entails handling
the effects of uncertainties in decision-making, which are not always considered
as a first-class concern. This paper contributes a formal analysis technique that
explicitly considers uncertainty in sensing when reasoning about the best way to
adapt. We illustrate our approach on a Denial of Service (DoS) attack scenario
and present some preliminary results that show the benefits of uncertainty-aware
decision-making with respect to using an uncertainty-ignorant approach. |
