Abstract :
Coordination by augmentation as proposed by Isaksén and Payne [2] is compared with a simple decentralized control structure in which there is no coordination because couplings are simply ignored. A simple comparison test is derived and it is shown that there are nontrivial situations in which coordination by augmentation actually degrades performance.
