Real-time applications cover a wide range, but many real-time systems are embedded. An embedded system is a computer built into a system and not acknowledged by the user as being a computer. Embedded systems are also typically dedicated systems. In other words, systems that are designed to perform a dedicated function. The following list shows just a few examples of embedded systems:
Aerospace
Audio
Automotive
| Communications
Computger peripherals
Domestic
| Office automation
Process control
Robots Video
And many more |
Real-time systems are typically more complicated to design, debug, and deploy than non-real-time systems.
