Abstract
Increasingly, software must dynamically adapt its behavior in response to changes in the supporting computing, communication infrastructure, and in the surrounding physical environment. Assurance that the adaptive software correctly satisfies its requirements is crucial if the software is to be used in high assurance systems, such as command and control or critical infrastructure protection systems. Adaptive software development for these systems must be grounded upon formalism and rigorous software engineering methodology to gain assurance. In this paper, we briefly describe AMOebA-RT, a run-time monitoring and verification technique that provides assurance that dynamically adaptive software satisfies its requirements.
