SOFTWARE ENGINEERING for REAL-TIME SYSTEMS (© J.E.Cooling 2003) Introduction to real-time systems - slide 6 Two major categorization factors: criticality and speed. Criticality: Hard systems - deadlines (responsiveness) is critical. Failure to meet these have severe consequences (e.g. injury, damage or death). Soft systems - deadlines are less critical; in many cases significant tolerance can be permitted. Speed: –Fast systems - responses in the microseconds to hundreds of milliseconds. –Slow systems - responses in the range seconds to days. –Arbitrary boundary: 1 second (chosen because the problems shift from individual computing issues to overall system behaviour and interaction at around this point). Categorizing real-time systems

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING for REAL-TIME SYSTEMS (© J.E.Cooling 2003) Introduction to real-time systems - slide 7 Major attributes of real-time systems. For hard systems emphasis is placed on the need to meet deadlines. Hard-fast systems tend to have low software complexity. For soft-fast systems emphasis is put on computation performance. In general soft systems tend to be the more complex ones (from a software perspective). Attributes of real-time systems
