Generative AI for Self-Adaptive Systems: State of the Art and Research Roadmap
- 利用大语言模型提升自适应系统的监控、分析、规划与执行能力
- 发现生成式AI可显著提高系统自主性和人机协同效率
- 适合关注AI赋能系统自治的科研与工程人员
自适应系统(SAS)通过监控、分析、规划与执行(MAPE-K)反馈环应对变化与不确定性。近期,生成式人工智能(GenAI),特别是大语言模型,在数据理解与逻辑推理方面表现卓越,与SAS核心功能高度契合,展现出巨大应用潜力。然而,其具体优势与挑战尚不清晰,主要受限于该领域文献较少、系统技术与应用场景多样性以及GenAI快速迭代。本文从四个研究领域整合并筛选文献,归纳出两大潜在优势:一是基于MAPE-K各环节提升系统自主性;二是改善人机协同中的交互体验。基于研究,提出涵盖关键挑战与可行性策略的研究路线图,反思当前GenAI局限并给出缓解建议。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Self-adaptive systems (SASs) are designed to handle changes and uncertainties through a feedback loop with four core functionalities: monitoring, analyzing, planning, and execution. Recently, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), especially the area of large language models, has shown impressive performance in data comprehension and logical reasoning. These capabilities are highly aligned with the functionalities required in SASs, suggesting a strong potential to employ GenAI to enhance SASs. However, the specific benefits and challenges of employing GenAI in SASs remain unclear. Yet, providing a comprehensive understanding of these benefits and challenges is complex due to several reasons: limited publications in the SAS field, the technological and application diversity within SASs, and the rapid evolution of GenAI technologies. To that end, this paper aims to provide researchers and practitioners a comprehensive snapshot that outlines the potential benefits and challenges of employing GenAI's within SAS. Specifically, we gather, filter, and analyze literature from four distinct research fields and organize them into two main categories to potential benefits: (i) enhancements to the autonomy of SASs centered around the specific functions of the MAPE-K feedback loop, and (ii) improvements in the interaction between humans and SASs within human-on-the-loop settings. From our study, we outline a research roadmap that highlights the challenges of integrating GenAI into SASs. The roadmap starts with outlining key research challenges that need to be tackled to exploit the potential for applying GenAI in the field of SAS. The roadmap concludes with a practical reflection, elaborating on current shortcomings of GenAI and proposing possible mitigation strategies.
