The use of embedded real-time computing systems to control industrial, medical, scientific, consumer, environmental and other processes is rapidly growing. A failure of an embedded computing system to properly control its real-time process may lead to major losses, possibly including the loss of human life. A real-time application thus demands from its embedded computing system not only significant computation and control processing, but also, even more importantly, a guarantee of predictable, reliable and timely operation.
