Abstract

Systems and methods for providing failover control in a control system are provided. For instance, a data stream from a plurality of computing nodes in a computing system can be monitored. A first subset of computing nodes can be selected based on the data streams. Control grant signals can be generated for each computing node of the first subset. An output to one or more computing nodes of the first subset can be activated based at least in part on a number of control grant signals generated for each computing node of the first subset. Control authority can then be granted to the one or more computing nodes of the first subset.
