Abstract :
We introduce a novel concept of ``architecture diversity´´ for adaptive systems and posit that increased diversity has an inverse correlation with adaptation costs. We propose an index to quantify diversity and a static method to estimate the adaptation cost, and conduct an initial experiment on an exemplar cloud-based system which reveals the posited correlation.
