Abstract
A method for coordination of concurrent processes or for control of the transport of mobile units within a network, wherein a) the control of the network occurs in a decentralized and self-organizing manner in the controllers of node points or local defined sub-networks, whereby the control units of adjacent node points or sub-networks are connected to each other for data exchange of, b1) data from prediction models for local process sequences at each node and/or data from prediction models for the local process sequences of adjacent nodes and/or b2) data from data recording elements of each node or the boundaries associated therewith and/or data from data recording elements of adjacent nodes or the boundaries associated therewith, c) local simulation and optimization of switching the controller to establish the performance of the nodes or sub-networks with regard to the buffer capacity of the boundaries based on models for short-term predictions with fixed switch states for adjacent nodes, are applied.
