Scheduling Periodic Information Flow in FieldBus and Multi-Fieldbus Environments

The paper deals with the scheduling of periodic information flow in single and multi FieldBus environments. The problem is defined from an analytical point of view, giving a brief survey of the most well-known solutions. Then the authors make their contribution to the problem. More specifically, a modification to a well-known single FieldBus scheduling solution is introduced, in order to make its applicability wider. As far as multi FieldBus scheduling is concerned, a genetic approach is presented.
