Abstract
The allocation of hardware resources to distribution applications is enabled without using effective task priority available only in field devices. A distribution system makes a plurality of field devices connected with each other through a network (N) operate a plurality of distribution applications (distribution AP) in parallel. The distribution system is provided with an importance adjustment unit () that calculates relative values indicative of the task priority in the field devices in accordance with the importance of the distribution AP designated for every distribution AP and a resource allocation unit () that allocates the hardware resources of each field device to each of the tasks of which the distribution AP are composed in accordance with the relative values in the field devices calculated by importance adjustment unit ().
