33. A method for scoring a strategy for controlling a plurality of load actuators, comprising:
-
predicting a first behavior of a first load that would result from implementation of the strategy, wherein the first behavior is based at least in part on a desired behavior of the first load;
predicting a second behavior of a second load that would result from implementation of the strategy, wherein the second behavior is based at least in part on a desired relative behavior of the second load with respect to the first load;
determining a first difference between the first behavior and the desired behavior of the first load;
determining a second difference between the second behavior and the desired relative behavior of the second load with respect to the first load; and
summing the first and second differences. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

48. A system, comprising:
-
means for scoring a plurality of strategies for controlling a plurality of load actuators, wherein the scoring is based at least in part on a relative behavior for a first load with respect to a second load; and
means for selecting a strategy from the plurality of strategies based at least in part on the score associated with the strategy.
