Abstract :
In this paper, a general procedure of distributed problem solving in distributed expert systems (DESs) is formally described, solution synthesis and solution composition in DESs are compared, and the relationship between solution synthesis in DESs and conflict resolutions in distributed AI is analyzed. Furthermore, general methodologies used for solution synthesis in DESs are introduced and compared
