Abstract
A problem of distributed information and control system (DICS) dependability is relevant nowadays. The DICSs with the performance redundancy and decentralized dispatching implemented by multiagent system are in the scope of this paper. The peculiarities of this class of DICSs require special approaches to the monitoring, control and reconfiguration procedures.
The agent-based approach to the DICS reconfiguration is represented. It takes into account a potential of performance redundancy in the aspect of fault-tolerance. The configuration forming problem is solved when it is required by local interactions between software agents via constraint satisfaction problem solving.
The paper contains the brief review of the DICS dependability problem and related works, description of performance redundancy and reconfiguration distributed procedure. Two-step agent-based approach to DICS reconfiguration described in details, algorithms of agent interactions and some simulation results are represented and discussed briefly.
