In this paper we analyze the state of the IEC 61499 standard for the specification of
distributed control systems (DCS). First, we discuss the limitations of previous efforts …

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), with partial reconfiguration (PR) technology
present an attractive option for creating reliable platforms that adapt to changes in user …

Runtime reconfigurable systems built upon devices with partial recon-figuration can provide
reduction in overall hardware area, power efficiency, and economic cost in addition to the …

Rekonfigurierbare Hardware-Architekturen bilden einen interessanten Mittelweg zwischen
den bisher bekannten Extremen einer flexiblen Programmierbarkeit von Mikroprozessoren …

Modern Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are no longer used to implement small
“glue logic” circuitries. The high-density of reconfigurable logic resources in today's FPGAs …

The execution of complex processes defined as workflows in the Grid environment is often
exposed to failures. The problems that can appear and that will lead to an execution failure …

In order to use the dynamic reconfiguration possibility on FPGAs efficiently, one needs a
support in the form of an operating system to manage both software and reconfigurable …

Dynamic reconfigurable embedded systems are gathering, day after day, an increasing
interest from both the scientific and the industrial world. The need of a comprehensive tool …

Within this paper we present a floor planner for partially-reconfigurable FPGAs that allow the
designer to consider bit stream relocation constraints during the design of the system. The …

Twenty-first century Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are no longer used for
implementing simple “glue logic” functions. They have become complex arrays of …
