The SmartSoft framework explicitly addresses dynamic wiring of components, but is meant to be applied at a much
higher abstraction level which should not be confused with the Leuven framework. The view explained here is very
close or identical to the layered architecture of GenoM. Think of components like a mapping component, a path
planning component and a motion control component on a mobile platform. Depending on the task to be executed one
needs several data flow configurations between components. A first configuration might be mapper - planner -
motion control to drive into a specific room. Another configuration might be vision (tracking) - motion control to
approach or follow an object. Dynamic wiring now is the process of configuring these data flow dependencies at
run-time to reuse components in different combinations for different behaviors. It is most needed in combination
with a task execution mechanism.
