A well-known technique used to manage such complexity consists in decomposing the whole system in different quasi-independent distributed subsystems. Inter-subsystem communication, when necessary, is performed via gateway nodes that filter in and outgoing traffic. For real-time systems, this architecture poses additional design challenges, since it becomes necessary to consider both intra and inter-network message exchanges with real-time constraints. In the work carried out so far, the FTT communication paradigm has been provided with tools for supporting flexible real-time communication on isolated networks. This work presents a first approach to incorporate multi-segment support into the FTT protocol family. Particularly, two approaches are presented, analyzed and compared, which allow breaking end-to-end deadlines into parameters that are local to each one of the interconnected networks}

  abstract = {Distributed applications complexity is steadily increasing. A well-known technique used to manage such complexity consists in decomposing the whole system in different quasi-independent subsystems, which are also frequently distributed. Inter-subsystem communication, when necessary, is performed via gateway nodes that filter in and outgoing traffic. For real-time systems, this architecture poses additional design challenges, since it becomes necessary to consider both intra and inter-network message exchanges with real-time constraints. This work addresses multi-segment time-triggered networks, and, for this class of systems, presents a methodology, which allows minimizing the end-to-end delay for the inter-network traffic. This goal is achieved by bounding the transmission windows of the messages in each one of the intervening networks, and then, taking advantage of the properties of time-triggered systems, making such transmission windows starting as soon as possible. In particular, this is based on the determination of the phase of a message that allows maximizing its best-case response time}
