This paper deals with the question of task communication and configuration dynamic management in the context of hardware and software implementations. Our approach is based on a couple of local and global reconfiguration managers that enable firstly to monitor the embedded system and secondly to separate application specific and system level configuration decisions. Then we detail the abstraction layer we introduce to handle inter-task communication and synchronization independently from their implementations. Finally we present how our solution is implemented in the context of a smart camera.
