Adaptive Decision Making and Coordination in Variable Structure Organizations

Abstract

Progress in research on coordination in distributed decision making organizations with variable structure is reported. The problem of consistency and completeness of the set of decision rules used by an organization is addressed by modeling the rule base by a Colored Petri Net and then analyzing the static and dynamic behavior of the net. The design problem is addressed by (a) focusing on algorithms that relate structural properties of the Petri Net model to behavioral characteristics; and (b) by incorporating design requirements in the Lattice algorithm.
