Abstract

To realize correct adaptive and reconfigurable systems, we need techniques to assure that the behavior of an adaptive system during dynamic adaptation is correct. In this paper, we propose a modular approach to synthesize a symbolic reconfiguration controller that guides the behavior of a system during adaptation under partial observations. The reconfiguration controller observes the system behavior partially during an adaptation and controls it by allowing/disallowing actions in a way to ensure that a given property is satisfied and a deadlock is avoided.
