/**
 * @brief	This class is the representation of a Polling Sequence Table in software.
 * @details
 * The FixedSlotSequence object maintains the dynamic execution of
 * device handler objects.
 *
 * The main idea is to create a list of device handlers, to announce all
 * handlers to thepolling sequence and to maintain a list of
 * polling slot objects. This slot list represents the Polling Sequence Table
 * in software.
 *
 * Each polling slot contains information to indicate when and
 * which device handler shall be executed within a given polling period.
 * The sequence is then executed by iterating through this slot list.
 * Handlers are invoking by calling a certain function stored in the handler list.
