Abstract

With the term flexibility, we introduce a new design dimensionof an embedded system that quantitatively characterizesits feasibility in implementing not only one, but possiblyseveral alternative behaviors. This is important whendesigning systems that may adopt their behavior during operation,e.g., due to new environmental conditions, or whendimensioning a platform-based system that must implementa set of different behaviors. A hierarchical graph model isintroduced that allows to model flexibility and cost of a systemformally. Based on this model, an efficient explorationalgorithm to find the optimal flexibility/cost-tradeoff-curveof a system using the example of the design of a family ofSet-Top boxes is proposed.

Manufacturing flexibility: defining and analyzing relationships among competence, capability, and customer satisfaction
Abstract
Fast and dramatic changes in customer expectations, competition, and technology are creating an increasingly uncertain environment. To respond, manufacturers are seeking to enhance flexibility across the value chain. Manufacturing flexibility, a ...

FASE'06: Proceedings of the 9th international conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering

While multiagent systems have been extolled as dynamically configurable and capable of emergent behavior, these qualities can be a drawback. When the system changes so that it no longer achieves its goals, emergent behavior is undesirable. Giving agents ...
Structural Flexibility: A New Perspective on the Design of Manufacturing and Service Operations

In this paper, we present a new perspective on flexibility in manufacturing and service operations by exploring a type of operational flexibility that we term "structural flexibility (SF)." We focus on strategic-level issues of how flexibility can be ...
