Research on Co-ordination Method for Task Allocation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a coordination method to solve task allocation problems in manufacturing system is proposed. inspired by the ability of the ants to establish the shortest route from their nests to the food source and back, researchers found out that these ants secrete a substance called ‘pheromone’ and use its trails as a medium for communicating information among each other. The pheromone-based static and dynamic coordination algorithms for task allocation are also presented. Experimental results demonstrate that this method is effective and therefore it can provide a feasible way for dealing with an actual allocation problem of production tasks in manufacturing areas.

A New Approach for Determination of Break Points for Protection Co-Ordination
Interconnected power system networks are multi loop structured. Settings determination of all over current and distance relays in such networks can be in different forms and complicated. The main problem is the determination of starting points i.e. the location of starting relays in the procedure for settings, which is referred to as break points. In this paper, a new approach based on graph th...
متن کاملStatic Task Allocation in Distributed Systems Using Parallel Genetic Algorithm
Over the past two decades, PC speeds have increased from a few instructions per second to several million instructions per second. The tremendous speed of today's networks as well as the increasing need for high-performance systems has made researchers interested in parallel and distributed computing. The rapid growth of distributed systems has led to a variety of problems. Task allocation is a...

Embedded agents can be used as building blocks or components in the construction of an Intelligent Building (IB). However it remains a great challenge on how to implement this idea in a distributed networking environment. In this paper, we present a co-ordination framework for web-enabled embedded agents to optimize the dynamic allocation of resources and the mobility of services in an intellig...

A new parallel programming approach based on the structured co-ordination of parallel behaviour is applied to programming the Fujitsu AP1000 for mixed parallel vector and scalar computation. With such a structured parallel programming model resource organisation as well as data and computation distribution can be programmed at a high level. The performance of a program can also be systematicall...
متن کاملCycle Time Optimization of Processes Using an Entropy-Based Learning for Task Allocation
Cycle time optimization could be one of the great challenges in business process management. Although there is much research on this subject, task similarities have been paid little attention. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to optimize cycle time by minimizing entropy of work lists in resource allocation while keeping workloads balanced. The idea of the entropy of work lists comes fr...
