Abstract
[Context] Self-adaptive systems are able to modify their own behavior according to the environment in which they are inserted. Ontology is a set of concepts and relations about a specific domain and can help in the requirements communication. The core ontology for self-adaptive systems does not cover the four groups goal-oriented modeling dimensions for self-adaptive systems (goal, change, mechanism and effects). [Objective] This paper aims to complete the core ontology for self-adaptive systems in order to facilitate the requirements elicitation and specification. [Method] We had performed a comparative study in order to realize the modeling dimensions supported by the goal-oriented approaches for self-adaptive systems. So, we complete the core ontology for self-adaptive systems with the modeling dimensions concepts. [Results] As result, we present some concepts and relationships required when modeling a self-adaptive systems. [Conclusion] We obtained more complete core ontology to assist the requirements elicitation and specification for self-adaptive systems.
