This program synthesizes gate control lists (GSLs) for time-sensingitve networks (TSN). The code is implemented in Java and uses Google OR-Tools as the solver.
Installation: For installing the code, you may need to install the followings:
- Eclipse
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
- Google OR Tools.
Note: There are some incompatibility issuses between different versions of JRE and Google OR-Tools.
Please cite the following paper when using the code:
