Abstract
A load balancing system for performing stable processing and high reliability includes a management device which acquires time information indicating the time required in past processing on each of n processing devices, estimates a required time required for each processing devices to process processing target information based on the time information thereby obtaining an estimated time, and transmits estimated time information indicating a relationship between the estimated time and the processing device to a load balancing device. The load balancing device determines m (1<m<n) processing devices that process the processing target information based on the estimated time information and transmits the processing target information to the designated processing devices. A processing result determination device receives results from the processing devices, estimates a true value from the results to obtain an estimated value, and transmits the estimated value to a subsequent-stage processing device that processes the estimated value.
