Abstract
Evaluation frameworks have been presented that suggest layered evaluation of adaptive systems along two dimensions: (i) the software development cycle, and (ii) the component of the adaptive system that shall be looked at. We argue that a third dimension is crucial: the question whether an evaluation should take place in the lab or in the field. We present a refined systematization of evaluation approaches using the evaluation of the adaptive WIL system APOSDLE as an example.
