Integrating Dynamic Load Balancing Strategies into the Car-Network

摘要

In this paper a middleware architecture for distributed automotive systems that supports dynamic load balancing of tasks is presented. Load balancing could be applied if an external device, like a PDA or mobile phone, is added to the vehicle network. This detection of the external device and the integration into the network should run automatically. Therefore, the middleware architecture has to deal with the fusion of such non-built-in devices. For the middleware, it is important to identify the requirements to support load balancing and the handling of external devices. By enriching the middleware with traditional load balancing strategies, an easy exchange of tasks could be realized.
