This paper proposes a language called Program Control Language (PCL) that provides a novel means of specifying adaptations in distributed applications.
This adaptability is enabled by a combination of intelligent self-monitoring hardware components and a software extensibility mechanism that allows the target application to specify adaptation policies to the system using constrained, domain-specific languages.
The policy service specifies the adaptation strategy (adaptation, authorization policies and event-condition-action rules) whereas the discovery service implements the protocol to search and integrate new devices in the SMC and maintains the connections.
A detailed guide to the implementation of CBT-E has been published (Fairburn, 2008a) that specifies the adaptations for adolescents (Cooper & Stewart, 2008).
In particular, the concept of multi-agent Abstract State Machines is used to specify decentralized adaptation control using MAPE computations.
Furthermore, we proposed to specify the adaptation and monitoring tasks connected directly in the root goal since we want to separate these concerns.
Becoming familiar with the most prominent modeling dimensions for SA systems is crucial for specifying relevant adaptation requirements; making unbiased and well-informed decisions about alternative architectures; and accurately evaluating the resulting system's quality attributes.
Ensuring strict standardization may be inappropriate; if a specified degree of adaptation to local settings is allowed for in the protocol, the intervention may work better.
By clearly articulating the recommended workshop activities and facilitation strategies, along with the underlying intentions of the PD, highly specified materials enable informed adaptation decisions that are consonant with fidelity to the designers' intentions.
In n = 11 trials, exercise was performed in a warm or hot environment (30 40 °C), by acclimated (n = 2) [63, 77] and unacclimated (n = 5) [29, 36, 47, 62, 76] subjects, where environmental adaptation was specified.
Toward this purpose, MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA) specifying metadata for assisting adaptation has been finalized as part of the MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework [27].
