Managing software variability for dynamic reconfiguration of robot control systems

Davide Brugali

University of Bergarmo

Abstract

Robot control systems need to be dynamically reconfigured due to runtime variabilities, such as environmental conditions, workload fluctuation and resources availability. Dynamic reconfiguration must preserve desired system properties, such as performance and safety, that are typically called non-functional requirements. This talk discusses issues and challenges in managing software variability in robotic control systems and approaches for dealing with non-functional requirements.
