Abstract

Having participated in the IEEE POSIX 1003.4 “Realtime” extensions [1],[2],[3], including process and thread-level functions as well as profiles, it has become apparent that there are a number of important attributes of standards in the real-time systems arena. These can be characterized along two dimensions; a set of attributes that illustrate the importance of real-time standards, and a set of attributes that seem to lead to the conclusion that real-time standards could be inappropriate. This discussion will cover each of these sets of attributes in turn, followed by some brief conclusions.
