Smart Systems are composed of interconnected nodes (devices, services, components, etc.) that can be intelligent, mobile, embedded, cloud-based, or/and adaptive. These nodes interact together through new communication protocols. Architectures of such system needs to adapt its behavior and deals with change in the environment. An adaptive and reconfigurable architecture can repair itself if any execution problems occur, in order to successfully complete its own execution. In the design of an adaptive and reconfigurable software system, several aspects have to be considered. Also other emerging areas such as Big data can also be used to solve traditional problems of Smart Systems, like scalability and performance.
