Recon guration of Technical Products Using ConBaConU
نویسندگان
چکیده
When we consider large/expensive technical prod-ucts/systems, it is often the case (after some time) that repair is required to replace modules that are not working and no longer commercially available or the func-tionality of the system needs improving. The problem is to make these changes at minimal cost. In this paper, we outline a reconnguration approach within our constraint-based model for the conngu-ration of technical systems, and look at some aspects of its prototypical implementation ConBaCon (Constraint Based Conguration). The integration of a constraint-hierarchy transformer, allowing the computation of improvement instructions and preferences, provides a sound basis for an inexpensive reconngura-tion/reconditioning of existing industrial products, including the problem of versioning of technical modules.

Reconfigurable Software for Open Architecture Controllers
Recon gurable software is highly desired for open architecture machine control systems when new products require new machine con gurations and applications. In this paper, we present an architecture that supports recon gurable software construction. In this architecture, the controller software consists of a set of well-de ned components and a set of behavior speci cations. Each component is mo...
متن کاملThe Erlangen Slot Machine - An FPGA-Based Partially Reconfigurable Computer
Partial recon guration is a special case of device con guration that allows to change only parts of a hardware circuit at run-time. Only a prede ned region of an FPGA is updated while the remainder of the device continues to operate undisturbed. This is especially valuable when a device operates in a missioncritical environment and cannot be disrupted while a subsystem is rede ned for performan...

متن کاملRun-Time Management of Dynamically Recon gurable Designs
A method for managing recon gurable designs, which supports run-time con guration transformation, is proposed. This method involves structuring the recon guration manager into three components: a monitor, a loader, and a con guration store. Di erent trade-o s can be achieved in con guration time, optimality of the con gured circuits, and the complexity of the recon guration manager, depending o...
متن کاملWormhole Networks : A Realistic Approach ?
The major problem in an interconnection network is related with the contention due to message blocking. In order to avoid this problem, many alternatives have been proposed in the literature, mainly adaptive routing, random routing and dynamic network recon guration. Our paper deals with dynamic recon gurable networks. Recon gurable networks are an alternative to reduce the negative e ect that ...
