ABSTRACT
Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is becoming a prominent solution to the development of complex embedded systems. Meanwhile, partitioning system behavior into different modes is an effective approach to reduce system complexity. Combining the two, we get a component-based multi-mode system, for which a key issue is its mode switch handling. The mode switch of such a system corresponds to the joint mode switches of many hierarchically organized components. Such a composable mode switch is not trivial as it amounts to coordinate the mode switches of different components. In this paper, we identify the major challenges of the composable mode switch handling and classify existing approaches with respect to how they handle these challenges. We also provide a more detailed presentation of the corresponding solutions included in our approach -- the Mode Switch Logic (MSL).
