A Fuzzy-Oriented Solution for Automatic Distribution of Limited Resources According to Priority Lists

This project provides a solution for problems in which there is a limited cryogen resource that supplies several clients in parallel, which can cause the resource’s depletion. This study emerged from the need to solve a specific problem of the Cryogenics Group of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). A generic solution is proposed for the application in a larger number of situations. The solution is based on the Fuzzy algorithm model, which bases itself on the human reasoning as a problem-solving technique. The Fuzzy approach is presented as well as the limited resource distribution problem, via a cryogenic simulation tools. The paper describes also the comparison of the fuzzy solutions with a former one that has been previously adopted by CERN’s Cryogenic Group.
