Abstract:
In the current industrial practice, there is an increasing demand for an effective communication infrastructure to interconnect several heterogeneous systems. The effectiveness of the adopted communication infrastructure is defined in terms of the provided reliability and timeliness despite manifestations of failures within the network. Current approaches do not address both these aspects, but one aspect is generally assured at the expense of the other. Our driving idea is to take the best solution to achieve reliability and to improve its achievable performance so as to guarantee timely deliveries. Specifically, we propose to introduce determinism within the gossiping approach and to combine push and pull schemes. We have experimentally assessed such solutions through simulations, so as to find which is the one that best achieves both reliability and timeliness.
