<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication network 100 for communicating between a plurality of modules A, B, C, D and E. <P>SOLUTION: Each module is arranged to be connected to or associated with a communication gateway 200, 300, 400, 600, and each communication gateway is connectable to at least one other communication gateway forming the network. The communication gateways each have a dynamic module naming list 240 to enable the communication gateways to determine a route to direct a message to an appropriate recipient module via at least one directly connected gateway within the network. Each communication gateway has a dynamic module naming list which is automatically updated as to the presence of other modules in the network, such as by the addition or removal of a module, and the dynamic module naming list does not require time consuming manual updating. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
