It is designed upon a strict principle of fixed and static allocation of redundant tasks on redundant hardware for safety assurance. However, in the event of hardware or communication failures, the safety can be improved if the reallocation of tasks to another hardware is allowed, leading to a concept of reconfigurable integrated modular avionics. One of the challenges for the reconfiguration problem is the way to ensure the feasibility of the new configuration and the continuity of service during the in-flight reconfiguration. This presentation proposes a method to tackle this issue based on formal mathematical optimization that maximizes the number of safety-critical tasks executing on the platform. To illustrate the proposed method, a number of examples have been done on different platforms, including a hardware emulator of multi-core avionics, a software-in-the-loop simulation, and hardware implementation of a modular flying machine.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDate and Time\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOctober 25th, 2021, at 11 AM - 1 PM EDT Montgomery Knight 317\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/bluejeans.com\/869521916\/3846\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/bluejeans.com\/869521916\/3846\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee Members\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EProfessor Eric Feron, School of Aerospace Engineering (Advisor)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EProfessor Kyriakos Vamvoudakis, School of Aerospace Engineering (Advisor)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EProfessor Brian German, School of Aerospace Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EProfessor Eric Johnson, Penn State University\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Mehrdad Pakmehr, ControlX Inc.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Optimization-based design of fault-tolerant avionics"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2021-10-14 20:37:50","changed_gmt":"2021-10-14 20:37:50","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-10-25T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-10-25T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-10-25T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-10-25 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-10-25 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-10-25 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
