Abstract: We present a hierarchical control system for the dynamic resource management of a distributed real-time embedded (DRE) system. This DRE is inspired by the DARPA Adaptive and Reflective Middleware Systems (ARMS) program. The goal of the control system is to simultaneously manage multiple resources and QoS concerns. The control system is scalable and uses a utility-driven approach for decisionmaking and performance evaluation. The control system is designed to be easily adaptable to other multi-tiered DRE systems.
