Real Time Operating System Characteristics
Introduction
Real-time operating systems or RTOS are an important class of operating systems. Like all operating systems, RTOS can be examined from a variety of perspectives, including theory and actual implementation. An RTOS is defined as...:
"...the one in which the correctness of the computations not only depends upon the logical correctness of the computation but also upon the time at which the result is produced. If the timing constraints of the system are not met, system failure is said to have occurred."
Examining existing RTOS revea…
