Situational production planning in a network M2M-system

A methodology for situational planning of production (electricity, water, etc.) in a network M2M (machine-to-machine) system is proposed. The methodology includes methods for constructing an object model using measurement data, forming portraits of situations (target, achieved, and starting), and interactive production planning. The object model describes economic characteristics of the nodes and distribution of the product streams moving along the network arcs, depending on the amount of product sent from the producing nodes and delivered to the consuming nodes. At each step of planning, the problem formulation depends on the results of analysis of the situations' portraits. The key component of the computational core is the method of target displacement of solution. The methodology is oriented to implementation by means of online services and is designed for use in network M2M-systems.
