“…For example, it may constitute a simple comparison of activity levels of the components within a group and ranking them accordingly so as to pair, say, an overloaded component with one that operates below capacity. Analytically, this will incorporate the optimization problem [13,14] Here, The concept offeasibility index is discussed in [13].…”

A dynamic-structure system is one that has the flexibility to change the system configuration automatically so as to operate in an optimal manner. A conceptual model for a dynamic-structure system is presented in this chapter [1]. In the present model, the interchangeable or shareable components of the overall system are grouped together. Their activity levels are evaluated by an intelligent preprocessor that is associated with the group. A knowledge-based task distribution system evaluates the activity levels and makes decisions as to how the components operating below capacity should be shared with those that are overloaded. Associated decision making can be effected through fuzzy logic. A simulation example is given to illustrate the application of dynamic restructuring.
