Programming dynamic reconfigurable systems

DR-BIP is an extension of the BIP component framework intended for programming reconfigurable systems encompassing various aspects dynamism. It relies on architectural motifs to structure architecture a system and coordinate its reconfiguration at runtime. An motif defines set interacting components that evolve according rules. With DR-BIP, dynamism can be captured as inter-play dynamic changes in three independent directions: (1) organization interactions between instances given configuration; (2) mechanisms allowing creation/deletion management their interaction motif; (3) migration predefined which characterizes execution environments. The paper lays down formal foundation illustrates expressiveness few examples discusses avenues design.
