Distributed and dynamic resource management for self-optimizing mechatronic systems

Modern mechatronic systems include a network of microcontroller on which real-time control algorithms and comfort functions are executed. To provide additional resources for stress situations (dealing with emergencies, overload of comfort functions) without deactivation comfort functions, these comfort functions should be reallocated to other nodes of the network. For this purpose a local operating resource manager is combined with an approach to manage heterogenic resources in a network. With a virtual emergency node additional resources for the comfort functions will be provided.
