Reconfiguration of Mechatronic and Embedded Systems: Models, Architectures and Verifications
Special Session: "Reconfiguration of Mechatronic and Embedded Systems: Models, Architectures and Verifications"
Motivation: "Nowadays in Manufacturing Industry, the new generation of Mechatronic and Embedded Systems (MES) is addressing new important criteria as flexibility and agility. To reduce the development cost, these systems have to be changed and adapted to their environment without any disturbance. Several academic and industrial research works have been made last years to develop reconfigurable systems. We distinguish in these works two reconfiguration policies: the static and dynamic reconfigurations.
The static reconfiguration is applied off-line to apply changes before the system cold start, whereas the dynamic reconfiguration is applied dynamically at run-time. In the last policy, two cases exist: the manual
reconfiguration applied by the user and the automatic reconfiguration applied by an intelligent agent localized in the system.
In our Special Session, we are interested in optimal models, architectures and verifications for Reconfigurable MES which is an adequate thematic with the general research strategy of the INDIN'09 conference"
