Abstract

A periodic process scheduling method which includes receiving requests for periodical execution of processes each with a period of execution and execution time, securing allocation time for the shortest process to be executed in respective periods of execution, securing another allocation time for part of a process if full execution time of the process cannot be secured within the respective periods of execution, and starting execution of the process in secured allocation time. A data transfer management method for reducing collision in data transfer which includes storing data length of packets being transferred in a predetermined transmission time interval, storing the predetermined transmission time interval, accumulating a quantity of packets to be transferred in the predetermined transmission time interval, and limiting quantity of packets to be transferred to not be greater than data length.
