This paper presents the first framework to design and synthesize a formal controller managing dynamic reconfiguration, using a Model Driven Engineering methodology base on an extension of UML/MARTE. The implementation technique highlights the combination of hard configuration constraints using weights (control part) -ensured statically and fulfilled by the managed system at runtime -and soft constraints (decision part) which, given a set of correct and accessible configurations, choose one of
