APRES'11: Adaptive and Reconfigurable Embedded Systems

Adaptive and reconfigurable systems can respond to environmental changes including hardware/software defects, resource changes, and non-continual feature usage, as well as provide support to live maintenance, extensibility and evolving requirements. As such, these systems have the potential to exhibit an extended operations space and lifetime and improve efficiency in the use of system resources. This is a report from the APRES workshop that addresses issues involved in building adaptive and reconfigurable embedded systems.
