Admission control for dynamic software reconfiguration in systems of embedded systems

High confidence is critical for systems of embedded systems (SoES) since this kind of systems are widely used in the field where consequences of failures are very serious. Although many methods have been proposed to deal with dynamic software reconfiguration in embedded systems, they ignore the potential risk for high confidence of SoES caused by configuration changes. In this paper we initially take this situation into consideration by presenting an admission control method to prevent dynamic software reconfiguration from violating high confidence of SoES.
