Research Topic: Function-Block based Real-Time Software Architecture and Reconfiguration Control
Suggested By: Xiaokun Zhang
Last Update: November 12th, 2010

On this topic, you are going to analyze and design a distributed real-time control system based on emergent function-block software architecture specification. Relevant principle and software architecture specification were introduced in previous course COMP 617. This topic will fit students, who previously took this course and want to extend research in the area, or who haven?t taken Comp617 but are interested in the research on real-time control software. This topic emphasizes on implementing runtime reconfiguration control mechanism and carries out comprehensive analysis and control system design targeting on given real-time execution platform and domain specific application requirements. Your options: 1. You can choose this topic and implement a project in COMP 697-698-699. 2. You select this topic as an essay to review relevant methods and carry out conceptual design and analysis in COMP 696 If you are interested in this project or need more information about the requirement, please contact with Dr. Xiaokun Zhang by email: xiaokunz@athabascau.ca
