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.〔http://www.hitachi.com/rd/portal/story/ad/02.html〕 ==History== Autonomous decentralized systems were first proposed in 1977. ADS received significant attention as such systems have been deployed in Japanese railway systems for many years safely with over 7 billion trips,〔http://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/shinkansen-bullet-trains-in-Japan〕〔http://web-japan.org/niponica/niponica10/en/feature/feature03.html〕〔http://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings/isads/2013/5069/00/06513400.pdf〕〔http://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings/hase/2001/1275/00/12750220-abs.html〕〔http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=503194〕 proving the value of this concept. Japan railway with ADS is considered as a smart train as it also learns.〔http://mag.uchicago.edu/law-policy-society/smart-trains〕 To recognizing this outstanding contribution, Dr. Kinji Mori has received numerous awards including 2013 IEEE Life Fellow, 2012 Distinguished Service Award, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, 2012 Distinguished Specialist among 1000 in the world, Chinese Government, 2008 IEICE Fellow, 1995 IEEE Fellow 1994 Research and Development Award of Excellence Achievers, Science and Technology Agency, 1994 Ichimura Industrial Prize, 1992 Technology Achievement Award, Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 1988 National Patent Award, Science and Technology Agency, and 1988 Mainichi Technology Prize of Excellence. Dr. Mori donated the cash from Ichimura Industrial Price to IEEE to fund the IEEE Kanai Award.〔http://www.aoni.waseda.jp/kinji.mori/prof.html〕 Since 1977, ADS has been a subject of research by many researchers in the world including US, Japan, EU particularly Germany, and China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Autonomous decentralized system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
