Real-Time Computing in Open Systems for Manufacturing
Harry Hui Cheng, Frederick M. Proctor, and John L. Michaloski, William P. Shackleford · Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering · 2000
This article reviews various mechanisms in languages and operating systems for deterministic real-time computing. Open-architecture systems will be defined and their applications in manufacturing will be addressed. Market directions for open-architecture manufacturing systems will be surveyed. Performance issues based on real-time, reliability, and safety will be discussed relating to manufacturing factory automation designed and implemented with component-based, plug-and-play open-architecture.
