A tentative study on reconfigurable network model

As a promising technology to improve network survivability, reliability and flexibility, autonomous reconfigurability is extremely important for modern information networks that usually respond to unforeseen events. In this paper, we mainly focus on autonomously reconfigurable network systems from the point of emergency response. Based on the features of reconfigurable network systems, we propose an effective autonomous reconfigurable network model. The autonomous reconfigurability mechanism is represented by a sensing-judging-responding process based on the control theory. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the autonomous reconfigurable mechanism works when facing fire emergency in intelligent building.
