Real-time
and embedded systems
|

ä |
Receives
data from the environment
|
|
|
|
ä |
Returns
results sufficiently quickly to affect the
|
|
environment

Process
control systems (manufacturing,

refining),
Automated Teller Networks (ATM),

Telephone
switching systems, Hospital patient

monitoring

Distinction
from on-line systems is usually
|
|
|
because
of performance requirements or
|
|
|
because
responses depend on the system’s state
|
|
|
|
ä |
These
systems are typically harder to build than
|
|
|
transaction
processing systems, they require
|
|
|
|
more
analysis and design work
|
|
|
|
ä |
Hard
real-time => if a performance deadline is
|
|
|
missed,
the result can cause human injury or
|
|
|
major
financial damage
