Abstract
System Reconfiguration is essential in management of complex systems because it allows companies better flexibility and adaptability. System evolutions have to be managed in order to ensure system effectivity and efficiency through its whole lifecycle, in particular when it comes to complex systems that have decades of development and up to hundreds of years of usage. System Reconfiguration can be considered and deployed in different lifecycle phases. Two significant phases are considered for configuration management and System Reconfiguration: design-time – allowing system performances by modifying the architecture in early stages – and run-time – allowing optimization of performances during the in-service operations. This paper gives an overview of a field research currently ongoing to capture the strengths and the shortages in the current industrial landscape. It also discusses possible future management strategies with regard to identified issues and challenges.
