Hi Realtimers,

I am a graduate student of Computer Science at Worcester Polytechnic Inst.
I am planning to do my thesis related to realtime systems. I need some info
regarding the basics of realtime - Stuff like what are the issues in realtime
operating systems compared to the conventional one ? etc. ..
Could anyone please suggest me some reference where I can find such stuff ?
Thanks in advance.

   An excellent single paper for introducing the issues in real-time systems
is:

   "Misconceptions about Real-Time Computing: A Serious Problem for 
    Next-Generation Systems," by John Stankovic, IEEE Computer, Oct. 1988.

   For a more thorough coverage of real-time systems, look for the IEEE 
tutorial:

    Tutorial: Hard Real-Time Systems, Edited by John Stankovic and Krithi
    Ramamritham. 

    Published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

   I have a list of references that I have posted in the past. If there is a 
demand, I will repost the list.
