An open platform for reconfigurable control

Annotation: Uses real-time CORBA to implement component-based control systems, and uses a publish-subscribe communication bus to loosen component coupling (and make reconfiguration easier). Components specify input and output ports along qith QoS constraints (priority, sample rate, execution time). Reconfiguration can create components, change port connections, and alter QoS constraints. Authors propose to use common controller design patterns to support common reconfigurations. Cites Oreizy et al. as main previous work.
