Abstract
This paper deals with self-adapting software that is structured according to a control theory architecture. Such software contains, in addition to its main function, two components — a Controller and a Quality-of-Service module. We show an example of an application and analyze the mapping of this application onto various control theory-based architectures. The application is a radar-based target tracking system. We show how architectural constraints are propagated through the mapping. We also analyze various architectural solutions with respect to stability and time complexity.
