Abstract

A virtual framework that uses both hardware and software reconfigurable objects is presented. The new framework supports both networked hardware and software reconfiguration. In such a virtual framework, the networked reconfiguration users only need to develop a single service description targeted on a single hardware and software platform. The service is able to write once, and run everywhere. That facilitates the new service deployment and maintenance. We present the components, design flow and implementation aspects of the virtual framework.
