How core biological metabolism initiated and why it uses the intermediates, reactions and pathways that it does remains unclear. Life builds its molecules from CO<sub>2 </sub>and breaks them down to CO<sub>2 </sub>again through the intermediacy of just five metabolites that act as the hubs of biochemistry. Here, we describe a purely chemical reaction network promoted by Fe<sup>2+ </sup>in which aqueous pyruvate and glyoxylate, two products of abiotic CO<sub>2 </sub>reduction, build up nine of the eleven TCA cycle intermediates, including all five universal metabolic precursors. The intermediates simultaneously break down to CO<sub>2 </sub>in a life-like regime resembling biological anabolism and catabolism. Introduction of hydroxylamine and Fe<sup>0 </sup>produces four biological amino acids. The network significantly overlaps the TCA/rTCA and glyoxylate cycles and may represent a prebiotic precursor to these core metabolic pathways.

As for the aperiodic tasks of node in network control systems, the FC-ABS (Feedback Controlled Adaptive Bandwidth Server) scheduling algorithm is designed. The different scheduling methods are used according to time characteristics of aperiodic tasks, and feedback scheduling is used to mitigate the effect of aperiodic tasks on periodic tasks. The simulation results show that the method is effective. Keyword: Network Control Systems; Server Scheduling; Feedback Scheduling; FC-ABS.
