Abstract

Nowadays, one of the technological challenges is the development of software for IoT systems, since they operate in highly changing scenarios, being complex with traditional Software Engineering methodologies to identify all the system requirements in the development stage. An alternative is to increase their autonomy, providing them with self-awareness capabilities with the support of runtime models, to transfer several of the functionalities that are programmed during development to runtime. This doctoral work proposes to develop a methodology based on runtime models for the construction and operation of self-aware IoT systems.
