Abstract
The paper introduces a mechanism to implement distributed scheduling for th e CAN-bus resource in order to meet the requirements of a dynamic distribut ed real-time system. The key issues considered here are multicasting, disti nguishing between hard real-time, soft real-time, and non-real-time constra ints, achieving high resource utilization for the CAN-bus, and supporting d ynamic hard real-time computing by allowing dynamic reservation of communic ation resources.
