Abstract

Self-Adaptation equips a software system with a feedback loop that automates tasks that otherwise need to be performed by operators. Such feedback loops have found their way to a variety of practical applications, one typical example is an elastic cloud. Yet, the state of the practice in self-Adaptation is currently not clear. To get insights into the use of self-Adaptation in practice, we are running a largescale survey with industry. This paper reports preliminary results based on survey data that we obtained from 113 practitioners spread over 16 countries, 62 of them work with concrete self-Adaptive systems. We highlight the main insights obtained so far: motivations for self-Adaptation, concrete use cases, and difficulties encountered when applying self-Adaptation in practice. We conclude the paper with outlining our plans for the remainder of the study.
