Organic real-time programming — Vision and approaches towards self-evolving and adaptive real-time software

Abstract

For upcoming Cyber Physical Systems with a high need of adaptation to changing environments an appropriate programming approach is needed. In this paper we argue that such systems have to be highly adaptive and self-evolving. The general vision and approach is pointed out. Furthermore specific approaches solving important aspects of such a programming paradigm are presented. The aspects discussed include the identification of adaptation needs using online Model Checking, real-time-aware adaptation mechanisms, and self-adapting safety guards by means of Artificial Immune Systems.
