The key feature of adaptable transition systems are control propositions, imposing a clear separation between ordinary, functional behaviours and adaptive ones. We instantiate our approach on interface automata yielding adaptable interface automata, but it may be instantiated on other foundational models of component-based systems as well. We discuss how control propositions can be exploited in the specification and analysis of adaptive systems, focusing on various notions proposed in the literature, like adaptability, control loops, and control synthesis. date: 2013 date_type: published series: Lecture Notes in Computer science number: 7841 publisher: Springer pagerange: 95-110 id_number: 10.1007/978-3-642-37635-1_6 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-642-37635-1 book_title: Proceedings fo the 21st International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques (WADT 2012) official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-37635-1_6 projects: IP 257414 ASCENS citation: Bruni, Roberto and Corradini, Andrea and Gadducci, Fabio and Lluch-Lafuente, Alberto and Vandin, Andrea Adaptable transition systems.
