ABSTRACT
We present a time-bounded state-based communication mechanism for
dynamically reconfigurable embedded systems. The mechanism is a
single-processor, low-overhead version of the Chimera state-variable
mechanism, that was developed for state-based communication in
multi-processor environments. The new design is suitable for
execution on low-performance embedded processors, uses less memory,
and supports dynamic binding, one-to-one, one-to-many, and broadcast
capabilities in a time-deterministic manner.
