Abstract: With the increment of complexity and uncertainty in the software runtime environment, software requires the ability to perceive and react to the changes in the environment in time. Since the environment is open, dynamic, uncontrollable and unpredictable, for facilitating software's automatic perception and adaptation to different environments, environments are defined as first-class entities, which are self-maintainable and self-evolvable, and modelled independently. For simplifying the interaction between software and runtime environments, environments are implemented in a hierarchical structure and provide an automatic mapping and configuration mechanism for software systems to sense and effect environmental resources from the perspectives of applications. The approach presented in this paper improves the reusability of environments and software, and reduces the burden on software developers.
