Abstract
Methods and reconfigurable systems are provided for monitoring the health of a complex system. The reconfigurable system comprises a plurality of standardized executable application modules containing instructions to perform one of a plurality of different standardized functions. The system further comprises a plurality of computing nodes arranged in a hierarchical structure comprising one or more layers of computing nodes. Each computing node of the plurality runs a host application and a workflow service module, each computing node thereby being configured by a configuration file that directs the execution of any of the standardized executable application modules in a cooperative fashion by the host application via the workflow service module. The system also comprises a loading means for populating each computing node with one or more standardized executable application modules of the plurality, a communication means, and a configuration means for programming the populated standardized executable application modules.
