Abstract
In this article we propose a design of a dependable self-organizing and adaptive mixed-signal SoC.With respect to organic computing, we introduce an artificial hormone system (AHS) as general control mechanism. The AHS is an implementation of a completely decentralized, self-organizing task allocation mechanism using self-X properties. To minimize the increase in complexity especially with respect to the analog parts, several different implementations are introduced. Besides the basics of the hormone controlled architecture, the paper presents the mapping onto a SoC, an evaluation of a completely simulated AHScontrolled SoC implementing the different approaches and validating the functionality, stability and upper timing boundaries and showing the improvements in system reliability.
