Abstract :
We propose a layered architecture based on the separation of two concerns - computation and coordination - as a means of achieving higher levels of auto-adaptability. This separation makes it possible for adaptation to be enforced through the reconfiguration of the system in terms of the mechanisms that coordinate interactions, superposing connectors among components of the system without intruding on the way the computations that they perform locally are implemented.
