The ADMORPH approach for Adaptively Morphing Embedded Systems

Due to the increasing performance demands of missionand safety-critical Cyber-Physical Systems (of Systems),
these systems exhibit a rapidly growing complexity, manifested by an increasing number of (distributed) computational cores and application components connected
via complex networks. However, with these systems’
growing complexity and interconnectivity, the chances of
hardware failures and disruptions due to cyber-attacks
will also quickly increase.
In the ADMORPH project we explore system adaptivity,
in terms of dynamically remapping application components to processing cores, to fuse fault- and intrusion tolerance with the increasing performance requirements of mission- and safety-critical CPS(oS). This paper describes the overall ADMORPH architecture and
provides an overview of the developed methodologies,
methods and tools for the specification, design, analysis
and runtime deployment of adaptive mission- and safetycritical CPS(oS) that are robust against both component
failures and cyber-attacks.
