The requirement for flexible operation is becoming increasingly important in modern
industrial systems. This requirement has to be supported at all system levels, including the …

The increasing use of electronic systems in automobiles instead of mechanical and
hydraulic parts brings about advantages by decreasing their weight and cost and providing …

Rapid prototy** is a key aspect for the development of innovative robotic applications. A
modular, platform-based, approach is the way to obtain this result. Modular approaches are …

A vast majority of control systems require the use of networks for the communication
between the different agents: sensors, controllers, and actuators. The existing paradigm …

Time sensitive networking (TSN) is gaining attention in industrial automation networks since
it brings essential real-time capabilities at the data link layer. Though it can provide …

The controller area network (CAN) has a maximum transmission rate of 1 Mbit/s and its fixed
priorities-based medium access control (MAC) limits the maximum bus utilisation when …

This paper investigates the concept of share-driven scheduling of networks using servers
with real-time properties. Share-driven scheduling provides fairness and bandwidth isolation …

The Controller Area Network (CAN) provides the basis for many cost-effective distributed
embedded systems. In this paper, we present a novel approach to networked control …

Abstract Controller Area Network (CAN) is a high-speed serial bus system with real-time
capability. In this paper, we present a formal model of the CAN bus protocol, mainly focusing …

Embedded systems have specific real-time requirements that led to the development of
dedicated communication protocols. Such systems must face increasing communication …
