Abstract :
Medical Device Plug-and-Play (MDPnP) permits the mitigation of preventable medical errors. However, MDPnP results in a dynamic environment, which presents great challenges to traditional software architectures. This paper addresses these challenges by describing an abstract representation of dynamic clinical environment and a modular architecture is utilized to support safe system reconfiguration.
