Integration of computational assistant mechanisms into the architecture of embedded systems

Methods and tools for organizing the computational process in embedded and specialized computing systems are discussed, with reference to a specific class of computational assistant mechanisms, for which a template of an invariant-variant design mechanism and a method for integrating it into the system architecture are proposed. The essence and effectiveness of the proposed abstractions and the architectural design method are demonstrated using a simple assistant mechanism as an example.
