Abstract

This paper deals with the study of the reconfiguration of embedded control systems with safety following component-based approaches from the functional level to the operational level. The authors define the architecture of the Reconfiguration Agent which is modelled by nested state machines to apply local reconfigurations. They propose in this journal paper technical solutions to implement the whole agent-based architecture, by defining UML meta-models for both Control Components and also agents. To guarantee safety reconfigurations of tasks at run-time, they define service and reconfiguration processes for tasks and use the semaphore concept to ensure safety mutual exclusions. As a method to ensure the scheduling between periodic tasks with precedence and mutual exclusion constraints, the authors apply the priority ceiling protocol.
