  ABSTRACT = {Self-optimizing mechatronic systems are based on
  intrinsic controller systems whose complexity by far exceeds that
  of currently available systems. In addition to procedures taken from
  artificial intelligence, procedures for a reconfiguration by means of
  appropriate design methods have to be integrated to fully implement
  self-optimization features. Special importance falls to a networking
  of such complex controller systems for the support of collaborative
  and emergent self-optimization. One main challenge lies in the
  safety-critical nature of the systems that requires the resulting
  software along with the technical system to show a predictably correct
  behavior in spite of networking, reconfiguration, and integration of
  procedures from artificial intelligence. The paper presents a concept
  for structuring and designing reconfigurable controller systems.}
