Abstract
A method for solving the reconfiguration planning problem transforms the requirement that an invariant is always preserved into a constraint on the times at which the configuration parameters change. The method then solves this constraint to obtain the required reconfiguration plan. When this constraint is strengthened with a synthesis constraint, it is ensured that any final configuration that is computed is also reachable. An extension of the method allows parameters to take on multiple intermediate values.
