Automated processes have been used as a feasible solution to conduct the software adaptation at runtime. In parallel, reference model has been used to aggregate knowledge and architectural artifacts, since capture the systems essence of specific domains. However, there is currently no reference model based on reflection for the development of SaS. Thus, the main contribution of this paper is to present a reference model based on reflection for development of SaS that have a need to adapt at runtime. To present the applicability of this model, a case study was conducted and good perspective to efficiently contribute to the area of SaS has been obtained.214-221porAutomated ProcessReference ModelRuntimeSelf-adaptive SoftwareArtigo10.1109/TLA.2015.7040650WOS:000349781600030Acesso aberto2-s2.0-84923218638WOS000349781600030.pdf
