Abstract
Managing reconfigurable Distributed Real-time Embedded (DRE) systems is a tedious task due to the substantially increasing complexity of these systems and the difficulty to preserve their real-time aspect. In order to resolve this increasing complexity, we propose to develop a new middleware, called RCES4RTES (Reconfigurable Computing Execution Support for Real-Time Embedded Systems), allowing the dynamic reconfiguration of component-based DRE systems. This middleware provides a set of functions ensuring dynamic reconfiguration as well as monitoring and coherence of such systems using a small memory footprint and respecting real-time constraints.
