Abstract

Time-Sensitive Networks are a substantial part of the Industrial Internet of Things. Extensive computation is required to generate sufficient schedules, in order to allow for real-time communication within them. This is due to a time-constraint that each communication has. These communications can vary from various logistical operations to heavy machinery. As such, not meeting these time-constraints can incur financial costs, or even human harm. Most existing solutions for this problem are ill-suited for the dynamic scenario which often appears in real-life. Modern factories are rarely static, since changes to devices, and therefore their communications, occur as new ones are added, or old ones are modified. We built upon a previous approach, using a vertex colored conflict graph model and searching for an independent colorful set, to solve the time-triggered flow scheduling problem. Specifically, we introduce two new algorithms that dynamically generate an independent colorful set, and do so in a fraction of the time. We compare our algorithms to the original one, concluding that a combined approach might lead to the best outcome in terms of runtime and resulting scheduling quality.
