ABSTRACT = {Research in self-adaptive systems often uses web applications as
target systems, running the actual software on real web servers.
This approach has three drawbacks. First, these systems are not
easy and/or cheap to deploy. Second, run-time conditions cannot
be replicated exactly to compare diferent adaptation approaches
due to uncontrolled factors. Third, running experiments is time-
consuming. To address these issues, we present SWIM, an exemplar
that simulates a web application. SWIM can be used as a target
system with an external adaptation manager interacting with it
through its TCP-based interface. Since the servers are simulated,
this use case addresses the irst two problems. The full beneit
of SWIM is attained when the adaptation manager is built as a
simulation module. An experiment using a simulated 60-server
cluster, processing 18 hours of traic with 29 million requests takes
only 5 minutes to run on a laptop computer. SWIM has been used
for evaluating self-adaptation approaches, and for a comparative
study of model-based predictive approaches to self-adaptation.},
