AWaRE2-MM: A Meta-Model for Goal-Driven, Contract-Mediated, Team-Centric Autonomous Middleware Frameworks for Antifragility

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new meta-model that captures core concepts for constructing software architectures for general-purpose, autonomous middleware frameworks that realize internalized and externalized self-adaptivity at both a system- and meta-level in order to achieve antifragility. The proposed meta-model builds on, specializes, and complements existing multi-agent meta-models in line with a previously published reference model for antifragile systems in the cyber domain.
