Real Time Characteristics of Ethernet and Its Improvement
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a growing interest of using Ethernet to support time constrained communication raised from process control, factory automation and other real-time applications. This paper first presents a comprehensive analysis of the temporal characteristics of traditional Ethernet and the improvements for them, then summarizes the interesting features offered by a switched Ethernet for supporting time constrained communication. At last, this paper points that it still lacks of general means to handle capability of switched Ethernet after investigating QoS (Quality of Service) of switched Ethernet. Keyword: Switched Ethernet, Shared Ethernet, Fieldbus, Real-time, QoS, (m, k)-firm 1 This paper supported by NSFC-60084001 and PRA-S101-04.

Improvement of the Analytical Queries Response Time in Real-Time Data Warehouse using Materialized Views Concatenation
A real-time data warehouse is a collection of recent and hierarchical data that is used for managers’ decision-making by creating online analytical queries. The volume of data collected from data sources and entered into the real-time data warehouse is constantly increasing. Moreover, as the volume of input data to the real time data warehouse increases, the interference between online loading ...

Large projects often have several activities which are performed by some subcontractors with several skills. Costs and time reduction and quality improvement of the project are very important for client and subcontractors. Therefore, in real large projects, subcontractors join together and form coalitions for improving the project profit. A key question is how an extra profit of cooperation amo...
متن کاملSecurity in Industrial Ethernet
Ethernet has become increasingly popular in automation, due to its easy integration with other networks but also for its low costs and commercial availability. Characteristics like real-time capabilities required in automation have also been added and now form Industrial Ethernet allowing its deployment in application areas formerly reserved for dedicated fieldbus systems. Due to the vertical i...
متن کاملEfficient Support for High Traffic-Volumes of Short- Message Real-Time Communication Using an Active Ethernet Switch
There are several different types of communication traffic with realtime demands apparent in distributed industrial and embedded systems, for example, group communication and process synchronization. The length of these messages is often very short but the traffic volume might be really high. Standard network protocols do not normally reach very high utilization for such small messages. This pa...
متن کاملTHESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Enhancing the Performance of Distributed Real-time Systems
Advanced embedded systems can consist of many sensors, actuators and processors that are deployed on one or several boards, while having a demand of interacting with each other and sharing resources. Communication between different components usually has strict timing constraints. There is thus a strong need to provide solutions for time critical communication. This thesis focuses on both the s...
