Abstract
A method includes receiving at a computing platform communicatively connected to a system of nodes, an initial order to be physically fulfilled by one or more nodes of the system of nodes. The method further includes determining a fulfilment criterion and a local fulfillment constraint for the initial order. The method also includes generating, based on at least one of the initial order, the fulfilment criterion for the initial order, and the local fulfilment constraint for the initial order, one or more conditional optimization opportunities. The method further includes generating, an optimized set of control inputs and sending the optimized set of control inputs to the nodes for physically fulfilling the initial order and realizing the at least one of the one or more conditional optimization opportunities.
