control line active states for this destination. Finally, they update the number of

controller states. Their update algorithm executes in constant time if the number

of destinations per object is approximately constant.

When designing a distributed embedded system, developers need to deal with

several design problems:

■ We must schedule operations in time, including communication on the net-

work and computations on the processing elements. Clearly, the scheduling

of operations on the PEs and the communication ...
