Abstract
We now develop a strategy to effectively coordinate the operation of the DRPC system. Predictably, this is in the form of a distributed algorithm for guiding and managing the distributed interactions of process elements to achieve suitable control settings. We focus in particular on the interactions between unit elements during synthesis phase of the reconfiguration process (Fig. 5.1) where the settings of each element are established. The proposed algorithm is used by unit elements to find control settings for their local and other network parameters once the physical layout of the specific process scheme to be used for production has been established.
