Real-time computing systems are vital to a wide range of
applications. For example, they are used in the control of nuclear
reactors and automated manufacturing facilities, in controlling and
tracking air traffic, and in communication systems. In recent
years, real-time systems have also grown larger and become more
critical. For instance, advanced aircraft such as the space shuttle
must depend heavily on computer sys tems Carlow 84]. The
centralized control of manufacturing facilities and assembly plants
operated by robots are other examples at the heart of which lie
embedded real-time systems. Military defense systems deployed in
the air, on the ocean surface, land and underwater, have also been
increasingly relying upon real-time systems for monitoring and
operational safety purposes, and for retaliatory and containment
measures. In telecommunications and in multi-media applications,
real time characteristics are essential to maintain the integrity
of transmitted data, audio and video signals. Many of these systems
control, monitor or perform critical operations, and must respond
quickly to emergency events in a wide range of embedded
applications. They are therefore required to process tasks with
stringent timing requirements and must perform these tasks in a way
that these timing requirements are guaranteed to be met. Real-time
scheduling al gorithms attempt to ensure that system timing
behavior meets its specifications, but typically assume that tasks
do not share logical or physical resources. Since resource-sharing
cannot be eliminated, synchronization primitives must be used to
ensure that resource consis tency constraints are not violated."
