This discovery can be achieved with continuous experimentation, testing different software variants with distinct user groups, and deploying the superior variant for all users. However, existing approaches do not focus on explicit modeling of variants and experiments, which offers advantages such as traceability of decisions and combinability of experiments. Therefore, our vision is the provision of model-driven continuous experimentation, which provides the developer with a framework for structuring the experimentation process. For that, we introduce the overall concept, apply it to the experimentation on component-based software architectures and point out future research questions. In particular, we show the applicability by combining feature models for modeling the software variants, users, and experiments (i.e., model-driven) with MAPE-K for the adaptation (i.e., continuous experimentation) and implementing the concept based on the component-based Angular framework.}}, author = {{Gottschalk, Sebastian and Yigitbas, Enes and Engels, Gregor}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Software Architecture Companion }}, keywords = {{continuous experimentation, model-driven, component-based software architectures, self-adaptation}}, location = {{Hawaii}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{Model-driven Continuous Experimentation on Component-based Software Architectures }}}, doi = {{10.1109/ICSA-C54293.2022.00011}}, year = {{2022}}, } @inproceedings{29220, abstract = {{Modern services often comprise several components, such as chained virtual network functions, microservices, or machine learning functions. Providing such services requires to decide how often to instantiate each component, where to place these instances in the network, how to chain them and route traffic through them. To overcome limitations of conventional, hardwired heuristics, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approaches for self-learning network and service management have emerged recently. These model-free DRL approaches are more flexible but typically learn tabula rasa, i.e., disregard existing understanding of networks, services, and their coordination. Instead, we propose FutureCoord, a novel model-based AI approach that leverages existing understanding of networks and services for more efficient and effective coordination without time-intensive training. FutureCoord combines Monte Carlo Tree Search with a stochastic traffic model. This allows FutureCoord to estimate the impact of future incoming traffic and effectively optimize long-term effects, taking fluctuating demand and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements into account. Our extensive evaluation based on real-world network topologies, services, and traffic traces indicates that FutureCoord clearly outperforms state-of-the-art model-free and model-based approaches with up to 51% higher flow success ratios.}}, author = {{Werner, Stefan and Schneider, Stefan Balthasar and Karl, Holger}}, booktitle = {{IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS)}}, keywords = {{network management, service management, AI, Monte Carlo Tree Search, model-based, QoS}}, location = {{Budapest}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{Use What You Know: Network and Service Coordination Beyond Certainty}}}, year = {{2022}}, } @inproceedings{26539, abstract = {{In control design most control strategies are model-based and require accurate models to be applied successfully.

SPLs reduce the time to market by deriving products for customers with changing requirements using a common set of features, structured as a feature model.
