Component-based decision-making with centralized officiating and the modification of those decisions through success measurements

摘要

A method for decision-making by an electronic system comprising a plurality of components is provided herein. The components of the system are given tunable voting authority v=[Vmin . . . Vmax], typically [−1 . . . 1]. A singleton officiating member manages the notification and voting process. A current representation of the entire system is stored in the model. The model is a state storage system that tracks the existence and condition of a group of tracked data items, called Entities. The model is managed by the singleton officiating member but may be queried by any component.
