4. 4 CASs are a form of complex system

5. An essential property: diversity 5

6. Main idea Diversity is an essential characteristic of complex systems to adapt to unpredicted changes in their environment Ecosystems, economical systems, social systems, etc. CASs are deployed in environments that evolve in uncontrolled and unpredicted ways BUT Software diversity remains very little explored as an insurance principle to adapt to changes 6

7. DIVERSIFY brings together researchers from the domains of software-intensive distributed systems and ecology in order to translate ecological concepts and processes into software design principles 7

31. Software diversity The main objective of DIVERSIFY is to develop mechanisms that introduce diversity at runtime, in association with the mechanisms that select the relevant level of diversity according to environmental conditions. 31

43. Relation with PerAda and Awareness Common Focused on the self-awareness and self-adaptation of software- based systems Started from large data, services, and learning-based technologies Share some common topics (such as e-Mobility with ACENS, a project under Awareness) Difference We focus more on the urban infrastructure (water, energy), rather than the social aspects We focus more on software (services), rather than control (robots) We are from a software engineering perspective, utilizing MDE, middleware technology, etc. 43

44. Related projects - AWARENESS 1/5 Sapere = Self-aware Pervasive Service Ecosystems o Model and deploy services as autonomous individuals in an ecosystem of other services, data sources, and pervasive devices.  Self-aware components and a general nature-inspired interaction model  Decentralized self-* algorithms  Spatial self-organization, self-composition, and self-management Diversify will takes inspiration from Ecology by involving Ecologists in the project, and will mainly focus on leveraging the diversity and food web properties from Ecosystems to build reliable systems

45. Related projects - AWARENESS 2/5 Cocoro = Collective Cognitive Robots o Swarm intelligence inspire from natural and biology phenomenon  Application to: robots, underwater vehicles... Diversify will not focus on this type problems. 45

47. Related projects - AWARENESS 4/5 Recognition: Relevance and cognition for self-awareness in a content-centric Internet o inspired by the cognitive process of human o using psychological and cognitive science  apply to Internet content Diversify is not doing the same thing...

49. Related Project - PerAda 1/5 ALLOW : Adaptable Pervasive Flows o New programming paradigm for developing adaptable pervasive flows Compared to Diversify : Use traditionnal techniques of Context-aware programming and so on.

50. Related Project - PerAda 2/5 ATRACO : Adaptive and Trusted Ambient Ecologies o A context-aware artefact, appliance or device uses sensors to perceive its context of operation and applies an ontology to interpret this context. It also uses internal trust models and fuzzy decision making mechanisms to adapt its operation to changing context. Diversify will works with Ecologist to really transfer knowledge from Ecology to computer science.
