Abstract

Distributed systems have a lot of applications, commonly with multitasks where the information exchange is high through a communication network, this exchange presents inherent time delays that degrade the system. For obtaining an acceptable performance in the distributed system, time delays need to be taken into consideration during design. This chapter is devoted to reviewing some representations of time delays in function of some features as the operative system, network, scheduling. These include the scalability, concurrency, feasibility and extensibility. Several situations are reviewed, such as aperiodic communications or consensus needs, among other situations. Finally, an introduction to a helicopter dynamic model is given, focusing on real-time representation with a relationship matrix of transmission frequencies through True-time simulation.
