Description/Outcomes Real-time systems are characterised by the fact that it is not only the result of the rncalculation that is of importance but also the time when the result is available. A rncomputer used for controlling a process is a good example of a real-time system. It must operate in a time-scale that is determined by the time scale of the process. At the same time it should be reactive to external events, often with time constraints on the reaction time. rn
