Abstract

Task allocation is a very important issue in the area of knowledge-based parallel and distributed systems. The problems formulated for a wide class of expert systems with knowledge representation in the form of facts can be solved applying the logic-algebraic (LA) method. The recursive procedure applied in LA algorithm defines elementary tasks to be processed at different computation stages. The paper presents parallel processing architecture for LA method. Effectively distributed basic task of proper granularity is defined and three load balancing task allocation algorithms are proposed. The performance of the algorithms is evaluated through experiments with the use of randomly generated instances of different LA task profiles.
