Reasons to Fall (More) in Love with Combinatorial Reconfiguration

The goal of the talk is to give ideas and inspiration to everyone in the audience, whether currently working in combinatorial reconfiguration or new to the area. Organized as a series of reasons to love combinatorial reconfiguration, the presentation will bring non-experts up to speed, setting the stage for a more in-depth investigation. The talk is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of the field, but instead a personal and idiosyncratic tour, full of suggestions for future directions of research.
