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

  • Flight management systems
  • Jet engine controls
  • Weapons systems

    • Audio

  • MP3 players
  • Amplifiers and tuners

    • Automotive

  • Antilock braking systems
  • Climate control
  • Engine controls
  • Navigation systems (GPS)

    • Communications

  • Routers
  • Switches
  • Cell phones

    • Computger peripherals

  • Printers
  • Scanners

    • Domestic

  • Air conditioning units
  • Thermostats
  • White goods

    • Process control

  • Chemical plants
  • Factory automation
  • Food processing

    • Robots

    Video
