You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...

An operating system designed to work in a network. More complex than a centralized or decentralized architecture, each computer in a distributed system operates and scales independently but is part of ...

What is a distributed system? A distributed system is a collection of independent computers that appear to the user as a single coherent system. To accomplish a common objective, the computers in a ...

Networked robotic systems are increasingly prevalent. In addition to industrial robotics now firmly ensconced in manufacturing, applications are also being developed in the areas of logistics, medical ...

Developers rely on the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS to provide a highly reliable, scalable, and high-performance foundation for their embedded products. A true microkernel operating system, the QNX Neutrino ...

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

An Operating System remains the soul of any computer. We have seen many over time, but the one that has stood out strongly is Microsoft Windows. Windows occupies around 90 % of the total operating ...

Real-time and embedded systems operate in constrained environments in which memory and processing power are limited. They must provide their services within strict time deadlines to their users and to ...

During the next few years, the technology needed to meet NextGen requirements will be added to aircraft cockpits already bristling with advanced systems. As it is doing now for many safety-critical ...

As military and civil aircraft add more capable and connected technologies, real-time operating system (RTOS) developers are facing growing security concerns and challenging certification issues. Key ...
