XPIN-Board: A Dynamically Reconfigurable Platform for Pervasive Systems

In next future, most objects and devices used commonly in everyday life are expected to be intimately integrated with computer systems. The vision of pervasive computing is becoming a reality; the essence of that vision is creating an environment saturated with computing and communication capability. The hardware technology needs to provide resources to improve the coordination and cooperation of numerous devices and services, and execute diverse and multiple applications. This work presents a pervasive platform that uses reconfigurable hardware and its dynamic reconfigurable capability to support a variety of applications, variable system requirements and standards, as well as different operating conditions.
