论文摘要
自我适应为软件系统提供了反馈循环，该反馈循环可以自动执行操作员需要执行的任务。这样的反馈回路已经找到了通往各种实际应用的方式，一个典型的例子是弹性云。然而，目前尚不清楚自我适应实践的状态。为了了解实践中自我适应的使用，我们正在与行业进行大规模调查。本文报告了基于我们从16个国家 /地区的113名从业人员获得的调查数据，其中62个与具体的自适应系统合作。我们强调迄今为止获得的主要见解：自我适应的动机，具体用例以及在实践中应用自动适应时遇到的困难。我们在本文中概述了剩余的研究计划，总结了本文。
Self-adaptation equips a software system with a feedback loop that automates tasks that otherwise need to be performed by operators. Such feedback loops have found their way to a variety of practical applications, one typical example is an elastic cloud. Yet, the state of the practice in self-adaptation is currently not clear. To get insights into the use of self-adaptation in practice, we are running a large-scale survey with industry. This paper reports preliminary results based on survey data that we obtained from 113 practitioners spread over 16 countries, 62 of them work with concrete self-adaptive systems. We highlight the main insights obtained so far: motivations for self-adaptation, concrete use cases, and difficulties encountered when applying self-adaptation in practice. We conclude the paper with outlining our plans for the remainder of the study.
