Reconfigurability in Decision‐centered System Design

Abstract

Abstract. Correctly informing the decision makers of the consequences of the various choices they can take during design is an important task which requires specific tools. With as our system of interest an emergency encampment, we explore the design dimension that is reconfigurability. Specifically, we explore the trade-offs implied by the choice of a reconfigurable architecture and the possibility to include reconfigurability in architecture multi-objective optimization, with a study of the complexity induced by such an inclusion. Finally, we take a look at a broader set of system properties for which this study applies, and the trade-offs between these properties.
