: Structuring real-time concurrent programs in the form of groups of fixed-priority processes is an old art which is appropriate for only a small fraction of modern real-time distr...
In many reliable Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, messages have different priorities depending on urgency or importance. For example, a message reporting the failure of...
This paper presents the design and implementation of RT-EP (Real-Time Ethernet Protocol), which is a software-based token-passing Ethernet protocol for multipoint communications in...
A hybrid scheduling algorithm is proposed, which integrates features of the Fixed Priority (FP) and Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling policies. It is shown that this hybrid...
In this paper we address the real-time capabilities of P-NET, which is a multi-master fieldbus standard based on a virtual token passing scheme. We show how P-NET's medium ac...
