[[Control]] reconfiguration is an active approach to achieve [[Fault-Tolerant Control|fault-tolerant control]] for [[Dynamic systems|dynamic systems]] {{Harv|Blanke|Kinnaert|Lunze|Staroswiecki|2006}}. It is used when severe [[Fault (technology)|faults]], such as actuator or sensor outages, cause a break-up of the [[Control loop|control loop]], which must be restructured to prevent [[Failure|failure]] at the system level. In addition to loop restructuring, the [[Controller (control theory)|controller]] parameters must be adjusted to accommodate changed plant dynamics. Control reconfiguration is a building block towardstoward increasing the [[Dependability|dependability]] of systems under [[Feedback|feedback]] control {{Harv|Patton|1997}}.
