Overview:

Real-Time (RT) application development distinguishes itself from general-purpose application development by imposing time restrictions on parts of the runtime behavior. Such restrictions are typically placed on sections of the application such as an interrupt handler, where the code responding to the interrupt must complete its work in a given time period. When hard RT systems, such as heart monitors or defense systems, miss these deadlines, it's considered a catastrophic failure of the entire system. In soft RT systems, missed deadlines can have adverse effects - such as a GUI not displaying all results of a stream it's monitoring - but don't constitute a system failure.
