Abstract

The ÆTHER project has laid the foundation of a complete new framework for designing and programming computing resources that live in changing ­environments and need to re-configure their objectives in a dynamic way. This chapter contributes to a strategic research agenda in the field of self-adaptive computing systems. It brings inputs to the reconfigurable hardware community and proposes directions to go for reconfigurable hardware and research on self-adaptive computing; it tries to identify some of the most promising future technologies for reconfiguration, while pointing out the main foreseen Challenges for reconfigurable hardware. This chapter presents the main solutions the ÆTHER project proposed for some of the major concerns in trying to engineer a self-adaptive computing system. The text exposes the ÆTHER vision of self-adaptation and its requirements. It describes and discusses the proposed solutions for tackling self-adaptivity at the various levels of abstractions. It exposes how the developed technologies could be put together in a real methodology and how self-adaptation could then be used in potential applications. Finally and based on lessons learned from ÆTHER, we discuss open issues and research opportunities and put those in perspective along other investigations and roadmaps.

It should be said that despite the fact that the whole application is a graph rather than a state-transition machine, the nodal functions are pieces of conventional code written by an ordinary applications programmer, hence they do have a state-transition behavior.
