Figure 7From: Assessing the benefits of search-based approaches when designing self-adaptive systems: a controlled experiment Box and whiskers plots for design effectiveness (a), design complexity (b), and methodâs potential for leveraging the acquisition of distilled knowledge (c). For each dependent variable it is shown the values for the search-based approach (IA: intervention approach), the style-based approach (RA: reference approach), as well as the values of the paired difference (IA âRA).Back to article page
