Reconfigurable Systems

Reconfigurable systems are intelligent systems embodying logic-based adaptation mechanisms. These mechanisms allow the system to reconfigure itself in response to changes in the operating environment, resulting in high modularity and scalability features. The problem is to overcome problems typical of standard continuous adaptation, such as possibly large learning transients, possibly slow adaptation and convergence time. Instead of standard continuous adaptation, the goal is to control the uncertain systems using a hybrid controller that combines continuous dynamics with discrete logic (e.g. multiple models), or smooth interpolation among different logics (mixing).
