Towards an implementation model for FB-based reconfigurable distributed control applications

Feasible Automatic Reconfigurations of Real-Time OS Tasks

“…They present in addition an interesting experimentation showing the dynamic change by users of tasks without disturbing the whole system. The authors use in [8] Real-time-UML as a meta-model between design models of tasks and their implementation models to support dynamic user-based reconfigurations of control systems. The authors propose in [9] an agentbased reconfiguration approach to save the whole system when faults occur at run-time.…”

Intelligent distributed control systems

“…They present in addition an interesting experimentation showing the dynamic change by the user of a function block algorithm without disturbing all the system. The authors use in [26] Real-time-UML as a meta-model between the design models of IEC61499 and their implementation models to support a dynamic user-based reconfiguration of control systems. The authors propose in [27] an agent-based reconfiguration approach to save systems when faults occur at run-time.…”

Developments in dynamic and intelligent reconfiguration of industrial automation

“…This is currently a very active research area where considerable progress has been made (e.g., the recent work of Vyatkin and Martinez Lastra [20], Batista et al [21], Schwab et al [22], Thramboulidis et al [23], Sivaharan et al [24], and Thramboulidis and Zoupas [25]). In order to focus our discussion and provide a flavour for the work in this area however, our overview is not intended to be …”

“…More specifically, they investigate ways to bridge the work on object-oriented engineering methodologies (e.g., UML) with IEC 61499-based methodologies. This approach is realised by Thramboulidis et al with their RT-UML-based CORFU ESS and Archimedes system platform [23,25]. CORFU exploits similarities between the IEC 61499 FB model and RT-UML capsules, thus allowing developers to use commercial CASE tools to automatically generate control application code.…”
