β¦ Synopsis
We consider the optimal replacement problem for a fault tolerant system comprised of N components. The components are distinguishable, and the state of the system is given by knowing exactly which components are operational and which have failed.
The individual component failure rates depend on the state of the entire system. We assume that the rate at which the system produces income decreases as the system deteriorates and the system replacement cost rises. Individual components cannot be replaced. We give a greedy-type algorithm that produces the replacement policy that maximizes the long-run net system income per unit time.

## Abstract This paper presents a model of faultβtolerant holonic manufacturing systems (HMS) where each holon's activities are controlled by an intelligent software agent. Multiple agents schedule actions, resolve conflicts and manage information to produce, transport, assemble, inspect and store
Fast computation through parallel processing and large distributed memory are two important qualities of new multiprocessor computing machines. Various processors of these machines are interconnected through a suitable network. However, a fault in a single processor may drastically reduce the perfor
