Adaptivity is one of the most critical issues related to System-on-Chip (SoC) design. In order to be runtime adaptive, SoC have to take into account changes related to user preferences and environment at runtime. Dynamically reconfigurable SoC, such as those implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), are a good solution for runtime adaptivity. Dynamic reconfiguration allows FPGAs to...

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems offer quick adjustment of production capacity and functionality in response to unpredictable market changes as being systems designed at the outset for rapid change in system configuration, its machines and controls. During the production process, out-of-ordinary events occur dynamically and unpredictably both at the system (machine breakdowns, change in job...

in recent years, in iran and other countries the power systems are going to move toward creating a competition structure for selling and buying electrical energy. these changes and the numerous advantages of dgs have made more incentives to use these kinds of generators than before. therefore, it is necessary to study all aspects of dgs, such as size selection and optimal placement and impact o...

The aim of this paper is to present an agentbased approach for the reconfiguration of Transitic systems. These systems have to be reconfigured when unexpected events occurs (failures, integration of new resources, etc.). The reconfiguration procedure consists in searching paths in the system enabling the different products to reach the appropriate resources in order to perform required producti...

One of the key design issues of holonic manufacturing systems (HMS) is to effectively respond to resource failures based on the flexible holonic architecture. The objective of this paper is to propose a viable design methodology to implement reconfiguration mechanism in HMS. A reconfiguration mechanism is developed to accommodate changes based on collaboration of holons without leading to chaos...
