This website is the replication package for the study:
Francesco Basciani, Daniele Masti, Franco Raimondi, Alberto Petrucci, Gianluca Caruso, Ester Maio, and Patrizio Pelliccione. Architecting Bounded Adaptation for Assured Evolution of AI-Enabled Satellite Software. Submitted for publication, 2026.
The package supports transparency and qualitative replication. It includes:
- the literature-selection protocol, inclusion/exclusion criteria, selected studies, relevant standards, and extraction template;
- the expert-observation traceability material supporting the observations reported in the paper;
- the mapping from literature, standards, and expert observations to architectural requirements and decisions;
- the validation and evaluation material used to inspect the NIMBUS scenario analysis, update-admissibility analysis, and implementation-variant comparison.
The package does not contain proprietary industrial documentation, confidential mission data, or executable satellite software. Expert identifiers are anonymised. The purpose of the package is to make the architecture-construction and evaluation logic inspectable by reviewers and reusable by researchers.
