Typically different constraints regarding fault tolerance availability and also flexibility are imposed on these systems. In this article we will present a novel framework for increasing fault tolerance and flexibility by solving the problem of hard-ware software codesign online. Based on field-programmable gate arrays FPGAs in combination with CPUs we allow migrating tasks implemented in hardware or software from one node to another. Moreover if not enough hardware software resources are available the migration of functionality from hardware to software or vice versa is provided. Supporting such flexibility through services integrated in a distributed operating system for networked embedded systems is a substantial step towards self-adaptive systems. Beside the formal definition of methods and concepts we describe in detail a first implementation of a reconfigurable networked embedded system running automotive applications.
