Study of hardware and software systems that have a "real-time constraint" The term "real-time" is also used in simulation to mean that the simulation's clock runs at the same speed as a real clock. A real-time system has been described as one which "controls an environment by receiving data, processing them, and returning the results sufficiently quickly to affect the environment at that time".[3] The term "real-time" is used in process control and enterprise systems to mean "without significant delay".
Real-time software may use one or more of the following: synchronous programming languages, real-time operating systems (RTOSes), and real-time networks, each of which provide essential frameworks on which to build a real-time software application. Systems used for many safety-critical applications must be real-time, such as for control of fly-by-wire aircraft, or anti-lock brakes, both of which demand immediate and accurate mechanical response.[4] History[edit] Live vs. real-time[edit] What Is Real-Time Stream Processing? | Hazelcast.
