Abstract
Control software in cyber-physical systems is becoming more complex than ever and difficult to analyze for all possible combinations of events that can occur during operation. One of the consequences of such a software complexity is that the resulting computational load is subject to substantial variations that can overload the processor(s) and cause large delays and disruptive effects on the overall system. A crucial feature that any cyber-physical system should have to avoid catastrophic consequences is the capability to adapt the computational demand of the application to cope with overload conditions. This chapter presents a number of adaptive methods to handle overload conditions in real-time embedded control applications characterized by periodic activities subject to timing constraints.
