ABSTRACT

In this closing chapter, it is our hope that an agreement must have be reached that decentralized systems would be the most convenient designation for largescale systems, complex systems, or interconnected systems since the chief goal in these systems is to deploy decentralization in the analysis, control, filtering, and processing tasks. Equivalently stated, the effort of any task is distributed among various units that are cooperating to achieve the desired objective. In what follows, a critical evaluation of the achieved versus remaining results is made with reference to the major ideas including decomposition, coordination, decentralization, and overlapping. In particular, our purpose hereafter is to shed more light on some prevailing aspects and potential remarks in decentralized systems.
