The application logic generating the computational behaviour of systems components is defined in a procedural style, by the programming constructs, while the adaptation logic is defined in a declarative style, by the policing constructs. The interplay between these two kinds of constructs permits to dynamically produce and enforce adaptation actions. To show PSCEL practical applicability and effectiveness, we employ it in a Cloud Computing case study. ID - eprints1852 EP - 409 ER -
