Abstract
The authors define real-time systems as those that are able to respond to specific events within a specific time. They examine the use of microprocessors in such systems. Time constraints that impact the design are discussed. They are the response time, survival time, recovery time, throughputs, and period of service request. Real-time techniques, i.e. software methods that reduce the execution time of part of the program, are considered. These reductions come at the expense of memory utilization.<>
