Abstract
A plurality of queues where each queue is defined by a set of criteria, the queue system comprises a plurality of header registers where each header register defines a queue in the queue system and a plurality of task registers where each task register can be associated with each queue in the queue system. Each header register has a unique address and contains a previous field and a next field. Each task register has a unique address and contains a previous field and a next field. Each previous field and said next field stores the address of another register in a given queue such that each queue is formed in a double link structure. Control means is provided for dynamically assigning task registers to queues by controlling the addresses stored in the previous and next fields in each header and task registers such that each of said task registers is always assigned to a queue in the queue system.
