This paper presents an artificial immune algorithm simulating the biological immune systems with self-adjustment function, and introduces its basic principle. For the bidding in power markets, this paper gives computation steps of the artificial immune algorithm. The artificial immune algorithm can simultaneously solve unit commitment and economic load distribution, and can expediently handle constraints of bidding in,power markets. So the artificial immune algorithm is an effective method of the bidding in power markets.

As the number of prosumers with distributed energy resources (DERs) grows, the conventional centralized operation scheme may suffer from conflicting interests, privacy concerns, and incentive inadequacy. In this paper, we propose an energy sharing mechanism to address the above challenges. It takes into account network constraints and fairness among prosumers. In the proposed energy sharing market, all prosumers play a generalized Nash game. The market equilibrium is proved to have nice features in a large market or when it is a variational equilibrium. To deal with the possible market failure, inefficiency, or instability in general cases, we introduce a price regulation policy to avoid market power exploitation. The improved energy sharing mechanism with price regulation can guarantee the existence and uniqueness of a socially near-optimal market equilibrium. Some advantageous properties are proved, such as the prosumer's individual rationality, a sharing price structure similar to the locational marginal price, and the tendency towards social optimum with an increasing number of prosumers. For implementation, a practical bidding algorithm is developed with a convergence condition. Experimental results validate the theoretical outcomes and show the practicability of our model and method.

Uneven task arrivals in a hypercube-connected multicomputer may temporarily overload some nodes while leaving others underloaded. This problem can be solved or alleviated by load sharing (LS);that is, some of the tasks arriving at overloaded nodes, caned overflow tasks, are transferred to underloaded nodes. One important issue in LS is to locate underloaded nodes to which the overflow tasks can be transferred. This is termed the location policy, Any efficient location policy should distribute the overflow tasks to the entire system instead of 'dumping' them on a few underloaded nodes, To reduce the overhead for collecting state information and transferring tasks, each node is required to maintain the state information of only those nodes in its proximity, called a buddy set, Several location policies-random probing, random selection, preferred lists, and bidding algorithm-are analyzed and compared for hypercube-connected multicomputer systems, Under the random-selection and preferred-list policies, an overloaded node can select, without probing other nodes, an underloaded node within its buddy set, while under the random probing policy and the bidding algorithm the overloaded node needs to probe other nodes before transferring the overflow task, Task collision(s) is said to occur if two or more overflow tasks are transferred (almost) simultaneously to the same underloaded node, The performances of these location policies are analyzed and compared in terms of the average number of task collisions, Our analysis shows that use of preferred lists allows the overflow tasks to be shared more evenly throughout the entire hypercube than the other two location policies.

With the advent of prosumers, the traditional centralized operation may become impracticable due to computational burden, privacy concerns, and conflicting interests. In this article, an energy sharing mechanism is proposed to accommodate prosumers' strategic decision-making on their self-production and demand in the presence of capacity constraints. Under this setting, prosumers play a generalized Nash game. We prove main properties of the game: an equilibrium exists and is partially unique;no prosumer is worse off by energy sharing and the price-of-anarchy is 1 - O(1/I) where I is the number of prosumers. In particular, the PoA tends to 1 with a growing number of prosumers, meaning that the resulting total cost under the proposed energy sharing approaches social optimum. We prove that the corresponding prosumers' strategies converge to the social optimal solution as well. Finally we propose a bidding process and prove that it converges to the energy sharing equilibrium under mild conditions. Illustrative examples are provided to validate the results.

Load balancing is important for efficient resource use in distributed systems. In the present paper, a distributed ''drafting'' algorithm is developed for load balancing in local-network-based distributed systems. The algorithm serves as the basis for a dynamic process migration protocol that allows load balancing to be accomplished in a manner transparent to users. The algorithm operates independently of network topology information since only some system design parameters are influenced by topology or low-level communication protocol differences. With the algorithm, a compromise can be reached in pursuing the conflicting goals of maximizing processor usage and minimizing communications overhead. The algorithm is illustrated in application to a sample distributed system, showing how it is used for design parameter definition. The algorithm results in significant system improvement without requiring highly accurate estimation of processor loads.

Integrated process planning with scheduling is a core activity in the manufacturing chain. Modern manufacturing processes require higher flexibility and capability of supporting distributed activities. In this paper, a novel STEP-NC Compliant Process Planning and Scheduling algorithm (STEP-NCPPSA) is proposed to meet such requirements. The STEP-NCPPSA utilises STEP-NC compliant data models to represent the related manufacturing information. STEP-NCPPSA aims to achieve an Integrated, Intelligent, Informative and Interoperable (I4) manufacturing in a distributed manufacturing environment. Three phases, STEP-NC initial process planning, initial bidding, and Tree-based Genetic algorithm optimisation are naturally integrated by the supporting STEP-NC concepts. STEP-NCPPSA is also capable of handling shop-floor information and re-process planning and scheduling to adapt to shop floor changes.
