CAT Framework: um framework MAPE-K para computação autônoma em sistemas embarcados

Abstract

The increasing complexity in software development and the growing demand for intelligent and self-adaptive systems drive the need for architectural models that standardize and modularize their implementation. In this context, IBM proposed the MAPE-K architectural model, based on a closed control cycle structured in four main stages: monitoring, analysis, planning and execution, all interconnected to a knowledge base to improve future decision-making. This work proposes the creation of the Cat Framework, an open-source framework to structure and modularize MAPE-K into reusable components that can be integrated into embedded systems based on microcontrollers programmed in C++. The objective is to standardize the implementation of MAPE-K in this context, facilitating its understanding and adoption by developers, in addition to providing a command-line interface to simplify the compilation and configuration of projects. The framework is expected to contribute to the development of more efficient and adaptable embedded systems.
