Abstract
This paper discusses optimization of system supervision for the following two situations: (A) States of some components are monitored all the time by supervisors and states of other components are not monitored at any time, (B) Every component is subject to a supervisor with active and inactive times. For the first situation, we give an optimum supervisors allocation problem together with a simple method of solution. The second situation is discussed for protective systems. We give an optimization problem which is useful in systematic construction of a non-synchronized supervision schedule. For both situations, illustrative examples are given.
