The Laboratory for Intelligent Integrated Networks of Engineering Systems maintains a research program composed of four complementary themes.  In the second of a four part series on the LIINES website,  the laboratory’s Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems Research Theme is highlighted.  This work brings together Axiomatic Design for Large Flexible Systems, Graph Theory  and Design Structure Matrices to develop quantitative measures of reconfigurability.
