Advanced telecommunication applications require more and more flexibility. Static and run-time configuration mechanisms, as well as plug-in computing units are two solutions to solve this issue. In this paper, we propose an open architecture, dedicated to complex data-flow applications, fulfilling these requirements thanks to a distributed configuration scheme and a standard interface for data flow computing units. Based on this architecture, an open platform demonstrator has been designed. Simulation results on a 3GPP/LTE application are presented, showing a reconfiguration time overhead of only 2.6%.
