%T A Conceptual Framework for Adaptation
%U http://eprints.imtlucca.it/1059/
%X We present a white-box conceptual framework for adaptation.We called it CODA, for COntrol Data Adaptation, since it is based on the notion of control data. CODA promotes a neat separation between application and adaptation logic through a clear identification of the set of data that is relevant for the latter. The framework provides an original perspective from which we survey a representative set of approaches to adaptation ranging from programming languages and paradigms, to computational models and architectural solutions.
