The component system information and management architecture is a
component architecture to build the application software which is
used in modern vehicles. The components are distributed in the
system: the individual components are mainly located in different
computers in vehicles, while the rest runs on computers in the
infrastructure. The components can be dynamically loaded to
different places of the component system, executed, removed and
updated at runtime. In this article, we describe dynamic
reconfiguration of a software component system for vehicles.
Furthermore, we propose update strategies for updating components
and component deployment strategies for optimizing the distributed
system. By the use of dynamic reconfiguration, the flexibility and
adaptability of the component based distributed system in vehicles
are enhanced. In addition, the dynamic reconfiguration can improve
the performance of the component system and reduce the costs of
communication between a vehicle and the infrastructure.
