  • Publication number: 20080282118
    Abstract: The highly reliable distributed system is composed of a communication protocol processing unit which comprises a mailbox for storing a communication message, and executes communication protocol processing between data of an application program and a network controller using the network controller performing network communication of the message in the mailbox; an error detection coding unit; an error detection decoding unit which reconverts data converted from communication data by the error detection coding unit to the original data, and detects that the content of the data is damaged if it is damaged; and a data comparing unit for checking whether or not two kinds of data agree with each other.

  • Publication number: 20050267953
    Abstract: The present invention provides a real-time distributed system which can improve productivity of software by suppressing a volume of software change incident to change in the system configuration, and can send or receive a message requested to be sent or received corresponding to its priority. A middleware is contained in each of control units. Services of the middleware in each of the control units are as follows, that is, 1. tasks T1, . . . , Tn for executing starting AP modules and calling RT communication processing according to starting order information and the like in AP configuration information, and 2. RT communication service for executing sending and receiving messages Msgl, . . . , Msgn between the AP modules corresponding to the calling. The AP configuration information and the messages are generated by an information processor based on user defined information and transmitted to each of the units by on-line or off-line.
