mRUBiS: An Exemplar for Model-Based Architectural Self-Healing and Self-Optimization (Artifact)
Abstract
Self-adaptive software systems are often structured into an adaptation engine that manages an adaptable software by operating on a runtime model that represents the architecture of the software (model-based architectural self-adaptation). Despite the popularity of such approaches, existing exemplars provide application programming interfaces but no runtime model to develop adaptation engines. Consequently, there does not exist any exemplar that supports developing, evaluating, and comparing model-based self-adaptation off the shelf. Therefore, we present mRUBiS, an extensible exemplar for model-based architectural self-healing and self-optimization. mRUBiS simulates the adaptable software and therefore provides and maintains an architectural runtime model of the software, which can be directly used by adaptation engines to realize and perform self-adaptation. Particularly, mRUBiS supports injecting issues into the model, which should be handled by self-adaptation, and validating the model to assess the self-adaptation. For this purpose, the exemplar provides two case studies of self-healing and self-optimization. Finally, mRUBiS allows developers to explore variants of adaptation engines (e.g., event-driven self-adaptation) and to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and scalability of the engines.

K8-Scalar: a workbench to compare autoscalers for container-orchestrated services (Artifact)
Abstract
This artifact is an easy-to-use and extensible workbench exemplar, named K8-Scalar, which allows researchers to implement and evaluate different self-adaptive approaches to autoscaling container-orchestrated services. The workbench is based on Docker, a popular technology for easing the deployment of containerized software that also has been positioned as an enabler for reproducible research. The workbench also relies on a container orchestration framework: Kubernetes (K8s), the de-facto industry standard for orchestration and monitoring of elastically scalable container-based services. Finally, it integrates and extends Scalar, a generic testbed for evaluating the scalability of large-scale systems with support for evaluating the performance of autoscalers for database clusters.
The associated scholarly paper presents (i) the architecture and implementation of K8-Scalar and how a particular autoscaler can be plugged in, (ii) sketches the design of a Riemann-based autoscaler for database clusters, (iii) illustrates how to design, setup and analyze a series of experiments to configure and evaluate the performance of this autoscaler for a particular database (i.e., Cassandra) and a particular workload type, (iv) and validates the effectiveness of K8-scalar as a workbench for accurately comparing the performance of different auto-scaling strategies. Future work includes extending K8-Scalar with an improved research data management repository.
