Enabling RTR for industry

Abstract

This talk explores the promise of run tme reconfigurable (RTR) technology
and makes an attempt to identify critical support elements that need to 
be put in place in order to overcome barriers to enhanced RTR uptake in
industry.

We outline a research project underway at the University of New South Wales
to develop a positioning satellite receiver that exploits the diversity
in satellite signals to mitigate the effects of interference. This project
is examined as a case study to motivate the discovery of challenges an
industrial organisation faces engineering a dynamically reconfigurable
product.

Our progress towards the development of a methodology for providing
communications infrastructure for module-based applications illustrates
one of the efforts necessary to develop useful synthesis tools for
RTR applications development.

We conclude with suggestions for how the academic community can
better assist the commercial development of real applications.
