Developing current-day software systems is challenging. On the one hand, their development and usage environment must be considered carefully, to understand the adaptations those systems might need to undergo to interact with other systems and their environment. On the other hand, due to the portability, mobility and increasingly evolutionary nature of software systems, such adaptations must be enacted while the system is running. In the past, couple of years many seemingly different techniques to address this concern have been proposed in isolation.
The goal of LASSY is to confront the different programming approaches and paradigms to live software adaptations.

The Live Adaptation of Software SYstems (LASSY) workshop provides a space for discussion and collaboration between researchers working on the problem of enabling live adaptations to software systems, across the development stack. After two successful editions, the third edition of the LASSY workshop will be collocated with the (Programming) 2018 conference.
