Abstract

Dynamically reconfigurable computing within embedded computer-based systems can be partially modified at runtime without stopping the operation of the whole system. In this paper, a provable algorithm for runtime evolution of a logical configuration is formally represented by the appropriate graph transformation. In other words, programming is considered as a visual transformation of the logical configuration by the formulated rules. Their soundness is proved. A logical configuration in evolution is provable from another by applying these rules. Subsequently, an algorithmic approach to programming is formally developed and analyzed.
