Abstract
A method of disseminating a planning of tasks in a network of distributed computers. The network includes a planning server, the programming on the planning server, of a planning of tasks for at least one class of distributed computers; and, independently the defining of ranges of transfer to the distributed computers of information allocated to each distributed computer, the transfer range being defined as a function of the constraints of the network; the splitting of the planned tasks into scheduling information, for each distributed computer and for a period of time dependent on the transfer ranges defined, the scheduling information being generated as a function of the class or classes to which the computer belongs; the transfer to the distributed computers of the scheduling information while complying with the transfer ranges defined.

12. A method of disseminating task planning within a network of distributed computers, the distributed computers being qualified by at least one predetermined criterion allowing to define classes of distributed computers, the network further including a planning server, comprising:
-
the programming, on the planning server, of a task planning for at least one class of distributed computers; and
, independently,the definition of ranges of transfer towards the distributed computers of information attributed to each distributed computer, the transfer ranges being defined according to the network constraints; the distribution of the planned tasks into scheduling information, for each distributed computer and for a period of time dependent on the defined transfer ranges, the scheduling information being generated according to the class or classes to which the computer belongs; the transfer towards the distributed computers of the scheduling information by respecting the defined transfer ranges. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
