Abstract
The new millennium heralds the convergence between computing, communication, and the intelligent control of our physical environments. Embedded systems often have a long life cycle. This paper reviews our research group´s work on how to upgrade embedded control systems without shutting them down, and how to protect the system from bugs and attacks that could be introduced by software upgrades.
