Towards a verification approach for reconfigurable embedded systems

Abstract

This paper proposes a verification approach of reconfigurable Distributed Real-time Embedded (DRE) systems. Since dynamic reconfiguration significantly complicates the execution of such a system, it is necessary to ensure the preservation of non-functional properties after applying a such reconfiguration. The proposed approach allows thus verifying non-functional properties at design time. Using our verification approach, the designer can easily verify these properties without deep knowledge of existing verification techniques. © 2012 IEEE.
