Software package for optimal decisions in large scale systems

This paper presents the software package SISCON, dedicated to the evaluation of optimal decisions for large scale systems. SISCON firstly evaluates mathematical models developed out of experimental data using LS methods for linear and nonlinear systems and after that computes the optimal decision problems. The large scale systems have generally a complex structure and global approach computation cannot be carried out. The authors propose a descentralised decision structure having a well-defined distribution of supervisory functions. After decomposition of large - scale problems is carried out, subproblems are solved using standard optimization techniques. SISCON offers opportunities for solving non-linear mathematical programming problems and for evaluating optimal decisions in large scale systems control. Copyright ((C)) 2001 IFAC.
