Abstract :
The paper provides a method to determine and compare the reconfigurability of lattice systems. First it shows the difference that exists between the reconfigurability and self-reconfigurability features of a lattice system. Then a method using displacement groups is introduced to characterize these features. Based on this method, these features are then compared for some existing lattice systems.
