An architecture of a map stack for real time applications

Abstract

MAP provides communication support for manufacturing applications and factory automation. MMS and Network Management are some applications that depend on MAP for the communication support. These applications use MAP to communicate with manufacturing devices at the cell level. In this paper, we describe the architecture of LITMAP Stack implemented at LIT and discuss its ability to support soft real-time industrial applications. This discussion is based on the scheduling ability of this architecture and the performance of LITMAP Stack.
