Abstract
The engineering of distributed adaptive software is a complex task which requires a rigorous approach Software architectural structural concepts and principles are highly beneficial in specifying designing analysing constructing and evolving distributed software A rigorous architectural approach dictates formalisms and techniques that are compositional components that are context independent and systems that can be constructed and evolved incrementally This paper overviews some of the underlying reasons for adopting an architectural approach including a brief “rational history” of our research work and indicates how an architectural model can potentially facilitate the provision of selfmanaged adaptive software system
