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.

Keywords: Self-adaptation, uncertainty.
