The design and physical implementation of a self-controlling dynamically reconfigurable system is described in detail. The reconfiguration control logic and target application execute in parallel within the same FPGA. In addition, the data required for each reconfiguration is generated on demand. A pattern-matching algorithm is used to investigate the viability of systems that exhibit self-cont...

We present a simple model for specifying and optimising designs which contain elements that can be reconfigured at run-time. In this model the control mechanism for reconfiguration can be implemented in many ways: by the user using multiplexers or other logic blocks, or by FPGAs which support dynamic partial reconfiguration. The model can be used for encoding layout information and for assessin...

Influence control is a very challenging issue in dynamic reconfiguration and still not well addressed in the literature. This paper argues that dynamic reconfiguration influences system execution in four ways: functional update, functional side-effect, logical influence on performance and physical influence on performance. Methods including version control, transaction tracing, switching reconf...

Title of thesis: TOPOLOGY RECONFIGURATION WITH SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATIONS Degree Candidate: Eswaran Baskaran Degree and Year: Master of Science, Fall 2006 Thesis directed by: Dr. Christopher Davis Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Maryland Recent technologies have enabled the formation of point-to-point directional wireless networks that are capable of dy...

Here a innovative approach of Auto tuned fractional order control is proposed for fault tolerant control of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). From fault detection and reconfiguration, fractional order controller is designed. Reconfiguration is designed using Eigen structure assignment technique. The proposed approach is tested on REMUS-100 AUV model. Variable step input is used as a referenc...

This research paper deals with Distributed Reconfigurable Embedded Control Systems (RECS) which can dynamically follow different behaviors at run-time according to user requirements or any possible evolution in its environment. We optimize a multi-agent architecture for the system in which a Reconfiguration Agent is affected to each device to apply local reconfigurations, and a Coordination Age...

  The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...

Reconfiguration is the action of modifying the operation or behaviour of a system, a network node, or functional entity when specific events take place. This paper describes an integrated control and management plane framework for end-to-end reconfiguration, and maps this model to a Beyond 3G mobile network architecture. Emphasis is provided on the reconfiguration actions that take place when a...

The article explains the possibility of applying the system of parametric methods, structural reconfiguration control and reconfiguration of the object control objectives to prevent the transition to the current flight situation into a catastrophic one and maintain the specified level of safety. The article presents a block diagram of a control system developed reconfigurable dynamic system, an...
