Concept Overview Sample Clauses

Concept Overview. As discussed in Section 4.3, several approaches described in literature support the specification of adaptive behavior, ranging from rule-based over utility-based to formal approaches. After a thorough study of the literature (as indicated in Section 4.3), we decided to base the QualiMaster adaptation approach on the Stitch language [28] and its recent extension S/T/A [73]. We selected Stitch due to its practical approach, in particular it is designed to enable administrators to define and maintain the adaptive behavior of complex software systems. Stitch was experimentally evaluated in administrative contexts and applied to support administrators in maintaining infrastructures. This practical approach is an advantage over formal approaches, which typically need solid background knowledge in formal methods [77]. Another reason for selecting Stitch is due to its structured approach, i.e., in contrast to (flat) rule-based approaches, it leads to a hierarchical structure supporting design as well as maintenance of an adaptation specification. Stitch consists of • Strategies, which represent high-level adaptation objectives capturing the logical aspect of planning an adaptation. A strategy distinguishes (potentially alternative) ideas on how to accomplish an adaptation in a certain setting from the low-level implementation details such as the actual enactment. For a system, multiple strategies can be specified, but only applicable strategies are considered (based on the system state and the adaptation impact history) and the most appropriate strategy for the current setting is executed. Example strategies in QualiMaster include single-pipeline optimizations, cross-pipeline optimizations, specific handling of user triggers (in contrast to autonomous pipeline adaptations) or how to handle administrative changes to the resource pool. • Tactics, describing the technical realization of the potential adaptations that are enabled by a strategy. When specifying the adaptation behavior, the Adaptation Manager describes how the system shall act in terms of tactics, i.e., which tactics can be employed to fulfill the strategies objective in the context of the current system state. Tactics may be guarded by conditions or tradeoffs, but also selected dynamically according to their expected impact or impact history [73]. Example tactics in QualiMaster include adapting multiple algorithms in a whole pipeline or to focus in certain situations on the change of the most critical...

  • Program Overview A. Goals of the Choice Neighborhoods Program. The Choice Neighborhoods Program employs a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation. The program transforms neighborhoods of concentrated poverty into mixed-income neighborhoods of long-term viability by revitalizing severely distressed public and/or assisted housing; improving access to economic opportunities; and investing and leveraging investments in well-functioning services, effective schools and education programs, public assets, public transportation, and improved access to jobs. Choice Neighborhoods ensures that current residents benefit from this transformation by preserving affordable housing in the neighborhood or providing the choice to move to affordable housing in another neighborhood of opportunity. The purpose of this grant is to implement a Transformation Plan that has been developed through a local planning process and furthers the goals of the Choice Neighborhoods Program. The core goals of Choice Neighborhoods are:
