Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
Biodiversity is essential for the robustness and adaptability of ecological systems. Similarly, multiple theoretical and experimental scientific results emphasize the need for high levels of diversity for the wealth of other forms of complex systems (e.g., economy or social communities). In the face of these numerous scientific evidences, the limited amount of diversity in software that constitutes collaborative adaptive systems (CAS) is a major concern. This is particularly critical since CASs are complex systems that integrate multiple concerns, interact with the physical world and need to adapt to unforeseen evolutions and perturbations.nnDIVERSIFY explores diversity as the foundation for a holistic software design principle and increased adaptive capacities in CASs. Higher levels of diversity in the system provide a pool of software solutions that can eventually be used to adapt in front of a situation unforeseen at design time. The scientific development of DIVERSIFY lays in a strong analogy with ecological systems, biodiversity, and evolutionary ecology. DIVERSIFY gathers researchers from the software-intensive, distributed systems and the ecology areas in order to transfer ecological concepts and processes as software design principles.nnDIVERSIFY's aims at establishing novel principles and techniques to increase software diversity levels in CASs and to leverage this diversity for distributed adaptation. The consortium's ecology group will drive the transfer of ecological processes in software. Software diversity synthesis and adaptation will leverage model-driven approaches to deal with the heterogeneity of entities in CASs. The project will develop a CAS simulator in the domain of smart cities to reveal the role of software diversity in CASs and to establish empirical knowledge about ecology-inspired software engineering.nnDIVERSIFY will run for 36 months with a requested funding of 1.86M€ for a total budget of 2,44M€.
