Fuzzy Control of Software Systems: A Case Study

The increasingly dynamic environments and more complicated software systems are posing high requirements for adaptability. Control theory has been an effective tool to control and manage software systems and then achieves software self-adaptation. Aiming at addressing some challenging problems such as difficult mathematically modeling software in the current control theoretical methods, we propose a fuzzy-control-based approach to achieve software self-adaptation. The general architecture of fuzzy control-based self-adaptation is put forward and discussed. The fuzzy-control-based approach is evaluated with a news-website case study.
