Current work on runtime evolution are either too disruptive, e.g., “blackouts” in unnecessary components in the quiescence criterion approach or presume restrictive assumptions such as the “black-box design” in the tranquility approach. In this paper, an architecture-based approach, called SAFER, is proposed which provides a better timeliness by relaxing any precondition required to start reconfiguration. We demonstrate the validity of the SAFER through model checking and a realization of the approach on a component model. %G English %Z TC 2 %Z WG 2.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01446613/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01446613/file/978-3-319-24644-4_7_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01446613 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01446613 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC2 %~ IFIP-WG2-2 %~ IFIP-LNCS-9392 %~ IFIP-FSEN
