A modular benchmark for evaluating load distribution algorithms

In the last few years, resources sharing has been one of the main focal points of the German initiative “Industrie 4.0”. Resources sharing can be properly guided by load distribution algorithms. With the availability of many load distribution algorithms, it can be an intricate decision to match the use case with the correspondent most fitting algorithm. For an easier matching process, a benchmark is introduced along with the most important quantitative and qualitative key performance indicators that cover the pivot factors that affect the performance factors in the field of engineering automation.
