Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS)

An Autonomous Decentralized System (ADS) is a Decentralized System that is an Autonomous System.

• Example(s):
  • a Autonomous Decentralized Transport Operation Control System (ATOS),
  • a Decentralized Service System,
  • a Decentralized Device System,
  • …
• counter-Example(s):
  • a Human-Controlled Decentralized System,
  • a Centralized System.
• See: Railway Signalling, Decentralized Network, Production Line, Blackboard System, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networking System, Robot as a Service (RaaS), Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

  • An autonomous decentralized system (or ADS) is a decentralized system composed of modules or components that are designed to operate independently but are capable of interacting with each other to meet the overall goal of the system. This design paradigm enables the system to continue to function in the event of component failures. It also enables maintenance and repair to be carried out while the system remains operational. Autonomous decentralized systems have a number of applications including industrial production lines, railway signalling and robotics. The ADS has been recently expanded from control applications to service application and embedded systems, thus autonomous decentralized service systems and autonomous decentralized device systems.
