Abstract
Abstract In a monitoring and controlling system for monitoring and controlling each part (11a, 11b, 11c) of a large-scale, wide-area object to be monitored and controlled by plural computers (10a, 10b, 10c), there is provided unit (14) means for allocating at least one of the processes to be executed by a self-computer to another computer based on the state of the object to be monitored and controlled. <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A method for monitoring and controlling respective parts of an object (11) by means of plural computers (10a, 10b, 10c), characterized by comprising the steps of reading a state of said object, and allocating at least a part of a process (13) to be executed by a self-computer from the self-computer to another computer, based on said read state, so as to execute the monitoring and controlling.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
87 words
A method for monitoring and controlling respective parts of an object by means of plural computers (10a, 10b, 10c), characterized by comprising the steps of reading a state of said object (11), reading information representing internal states of other computers including a self-computer, and allocating at least one part of a process to be executed by the self-computer from the computer to another computer, based on the read state of said object and the internal states of said computers, so as to execute the monitoring and controlling.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
62 words
A method for monitoring and controlling an object by means of plural computers (10a, 10b, 10c) connected with one another, characterized by comprising the steps of estimating (42) internal states of said computers, estimating (41) a state of said object, and coordinating (46) said plural computers with one another based on said estimated results, so as to execute the monitoring and controlling.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
55 words
A system for monitoring and controlling respective parts of an object by means of plural computers (10a, 10b, 10c), characterized by comprising means (14a, 14b, 14c) for allocating at least one part of a process to be executed by a self-computer from the self-computer to another computer, based on the state of said object (11).
Claim 5
Independent Claim
64 words
A system for monitoring and controlling respective parts of an object by means of plural computers (10a, 10b, 10c), characterized by comprising means (14a, 14b, 14c) for allocating at least one part of a process to be executed by a self-computer from the self-computer to another computer, based on the state of said object and the internal state of other computers including the self-computer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
A monitoring and controlling system as claimed in claim 4 or 5, characterized in that each computer includes means (14a, 14b, 14c) for allocating at least one part of a process to be executed by said self-computer from the self-computer to another computer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
A monitoring and controlling system as claimed in claim 4 or 5, characterized in that said means (14a, 14b, 14c) for allocating part of a process to be executed by the self-computer from the self-computer to another computer has a function of estimating a feasibility of executing said process by means of said another computer.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
69 words
A system for monitoring and controlling an object by means of plural computers (10a, 10b, 10c) connected through an information exchanger (15), characterized by comprising means (42) for estimating internal states of said plural computers; means (41) for estimating a state of said object; and means (46) for coordinating said plural computers with one another based on the internal states of said computers and the state of said object.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
51 words
A monitoring and controlling system as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that said coordinating means (14a, 14b, 14c) operates to allocate at least one part of a process to be executed by one computer among said plural computers from the one computer to another computer, based on said estimated results.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
39 words
A monitoring and controlling system as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that said coordinating means (14a, 14b, 14c) estimates a feasibility of executing said process by means of another computer to which the process is to be allocated.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
46 words
A monitoring and controlling system as claimed in any one of claims 8 to 10, characterized in that said coordinating means (14a, 14b, 14c) moves a procedure or data about said process to be executed by the computer to another computer through said information exchanger (15).
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
40 words
A monitoring and controlling system as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that said coordinating means (14a, 14b, 14c) collects resources from other computers if the resources required for the process to be executed by said each computer is insufficient.
