✦ Synopsis

Distributed Problem Solving Networks (DPSN) provide a means for interconnecting intelligent problem solver nodes that can solve only a part of a problem depending on their ability in the problem domain. The decomposition of a problem into subproblems, and the selection of nodes to solve them can be regarded as the generation of an AND/OR tree, and the solution of the problem as a search for a solution tree. Introducing measurements for the cost of a solution tree, we present an algorithm to find one having minimal cost under certain conditions. A Flexible Manufacturing System consisting of a network of flexible workcells is used as an example.

This paper describes a fuzzy heuristic algorithm for the service restoration of distribution systems. Its main objectives are: (a) to supply energy to the largest possible number of customers, (b) to minimize the number of switching operations, (c) to represent the operator's knowledge and (d) to re
