Abstract

With the increasing evolution of adaptive control systems, control applications are asked to satisfy more constraints. On one hand, these applications have to guarantee flexible adaptation processes. On the other hand, they must offer an efficient interaction with the environment. Satisfying such needs is still challenging due to real-time requirements. Developing an application covering these constraints needs a robust software support. Some properties like clear structuring, flexibility and reuse are becoming necessary to ease the development of the appropriate applications. In this paper, we propose a context-aware meta-model enabling the development of real-time reconfigurable control systems. This meta-model offers a development flexibility while meeting the functional as well as the real-time constraints. To prove the efficiency of this meta-model, we implemented a framework on the basis of the new concepts. Also, we simulated a case study using the new tool. As a performance test, we calculated the system response time and we compared it with other work.
