%X Highly dynamic software systems are applications whose operations are
particularly affected by changing requirements and uncertainty in their execution
environments. Ideally such systems must evolve while they execute. To achieve
this, highly dynamic software systems must be instrumented with self-adaptation
mechanisms to monitor selected requirements and environment conditions to assess
the need for evolution, plan desired changes, as well as validate and verify the
resulting system. This chapter introduces fundamental concepts, methods, and techniques
gleaned from self-adaptive systems engineering, as well as discusses their
application to runtime evolution and their relationship with off-line software evolution
theories. To illustrate the presented concepts,
