Project: Methods for Integration of Heterogeneous Real-Time Services into High-Performance Networks

Overview

There is an industrial need of new high-performance networks with support for the often heterogeneous real-time requirements in emerging (often embedded) applications like multimedia, radar signal processing, and telecommunication applications. This project aims to provide novel methods to satisfy this need. It can, for example, be the support of services for both soft and hard real-time requirements, and with different quality of service demands (e.g., probability of meeting soft deadlines). The integration of services into both existing and novel high-performance networks with special architectural features/support will be considered. To guarantee the industrial relevance of the project we have chosen partners who will take active part in the project, e.g., in the choice of relevant case studies and evaluation criteria.

Results

The project took active start in January 2000.

Co-operation

Synergy effects with several other currently running projects are predicted.
