ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method, system, computer program product, or apparatus that schedules and executes events within a network in real-time. An event processor contacts one or more event schedulers, and it receives back from them event schedule updates. It then calculates the time when each event is to occur from information contained in the received scheduling information for each event. Next, it places event scheduling information contained in the received scheduling information for each event, plus the calculated occurrence time of the corresponding event, into an event queue. Finally, at the time when each event is to occur, as indicated by examination of the calculated times in the event queue, the event processor sends out event firing messages to event processors that are named in the received scheduling information for each event.
