Design methodology for embedded systems made upon small networks of hardware reconfigurable nodes and connections
-
Project ReCoNets
ReCoNets in a Nutshell
Automotive, avionic or body-area networks are systems that consist of communicating nodes specialized for certain purposes.
Typically, these systems underly constraints such as fault-tolerance, availability but also flexibility.
The ReCoNets-group presents a novel framework for increasing fault-tolerance and flexibility by separating
functionality from structure. Based on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) in combination with a CPU, we
allow that tasks implemented in hardware or software can migrate from one node to another in case of a node defect.
If not enough hardware/software resources are available we allow that functionality can change its implementation
style at runtime, i.e. a task can either run in hardware or software respectively.
For a first impression how the system works, please have a look at the ReCoNets-Demonstrator page.
There, we will provide a video that explains the basic functionality of the demonstrator.
For a detailed description of the demonstrator, please refer to the methodology and the
project goals pages.
Of course, you are welcome to contact us at any time.
